alexandraerinNews For Today
Well, my computer that occasionally needs its RAM re-seated to turn on just kicked it again for the first time in several months. This is the first time it happened while I was using it.
I don't have the spoons to mess with it right now, and luckily I don't have to because I have a back-up. Even just a few months ago, knowing that the computer wasn't working would compel me to fix it, no matter the cost in time and energy... it would be more energy than time, but energy is a more precious resource to me. So, progress there.
That's really all the news for today. Not terribly exciting, I know, but again: focusing on the present.
I had an idle thought about expanding and cleaning up my DC universe reviews, doing one for every book, and putting them in an ebook (52 2,000 word essays would be a 400+ page book)... but even though critical reviews are one of the main reasons we have fair use laws it doesn't seem like it would be worth going up against The WB's intellectual property lawyers, who probably have a DMCA first and find out if it's an actual violation later attitude towards self-published material referencing their property. There would be no percentage in them taking the time to find out things like that when it'd be cheaper to quash everything.
State of the Me
Still insomniac.
Plans For Today
Got a chapter to wrap up. I'd hoped to do it early this morning, but I was too tired to move so I switched up my cycle a little and spent the morning thinking about the next chapter.
