In other news, GoogleReader did something to themselves and for a few days I couldn't full-screen and guys, I have an 11" laptop. I REQUIRE FULL-SCREEN so I can pick up my damn sandwich from time to time, and not be scrolling every few sentences. And the intartubes was all, This should be fixed soon or you can start using Google Chrome or I forget what else because I just downloaded Chrome and I feel like I have entered the future. The SPEED, you guys! The rapidity with which windows open for me! Half the reason I rarely comment on other blogs is because if I click over, I have to go make a cup of
In other other news, I writ about Pottermore, except less about Pottermore and more about the week before Pottermore when Rowlinglandia was all, What is THIS? Pottermore? Ohh, it is a sssssecret! By all means, speculate! and whether I think that sort of expectation-jacking buzz is helpful or harmful in the long run.
Sunday forth, lords and ladies. I am going to the circus.




Oh Raych I missed your wit! Glad to be back in the middle of it. Boy that woman was a real bitch wasn't she? Somebody was having some self-esteem issues that day it seems. Us mommy-blogging vampire lovers are made of stronger stuff than she imagined.
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the circus. I am mesmerized by anything Cirque.
Buzz is a weird beast alright. I like that Justine Larbalestier is all 'don't tell anyone about Liar because you will ruin it'. That got me interested and let me know there were twisty things. 'Little Bee' by contrast didn't do it for me. Dude all authors can be 'ooo my book is sekrit' but if your book contains no really important secrets then your marketing makes me suspicious of all other books by you. But then all this 'this is how we make money marketing' annoys me. I want my blurb to tell me what the book is like, not what you think I need it to be like in order to buy it! Gah you have unleashed the rant monster.
ReplyDeleteYou know I have to say, I think I was that dissapointed HP fan, even though I wasn't in a basement.
ReplyDeleteWizarding school guys!!
One word, dear Raych. Mac. Because you're worth it.
ReplyDeleteFunny post. I recently discovered Chrome is it much better than IE. Blogger has been acting so nutty lately in IE, I've been fuming for weeks. Strangely, it would work fine in Google Chrome....hmmmm. Seems fishy Google people. But what can you do? Just adapt and grab a cup of whiskey, oops I meant tea. :-)
