[Thoughts Before Bed]

I'm looking at all my Austin Fam, from the early 2000s, and how they've scattered to the winds, just to get away from Texas.

It's sad, really. So sad.

I got TWO utterly lovely stories for

femgiftboxes! Both of them were for my original fiction prompt: Woman who reads in public/the monster who keeps men from interrupting her reading

Shared Time, by

anagrrl

She waits, and she keeps herself to herself, tightly contained, as the time draws nearer.

And then she arrives. The Reader.

*flails* This was SO GOOD. A really very alien point of view character and just so much of what I love about books, all wrapped up together.

Ends and Beginnings, by

kalloway

There was a wisp of shadow and a pressure around Allie's ankles as she stood at the tiny counter of her tiny kitchen, having just chopped vegetables to go with the rice in the little cooker she'd only just remembered to turn on.

*flails more* This one is cozy and mysterious and warm and still has that utter love of books and reading that draws me right in. SO GOOD.

I'm so glad my prompt resonated and got me such good stories!

You know you're making something good when you're done prepping the food and your fingers smell AMAZING.

Question for the Ancient among us on the Internet: Do you remember a text based program/app/website/gopher-thingy called "World Wide Window?" This would have been about 1993/1994 or so.

My college had it as what looked to be a text-only Web Browser, but it could have been gopher or a gopher front end. That's about all I remember about it. Any ideas what it was?

QOTD: "Wait! That's a loadbearing sandwich!"

Suddenly feeling nostalgic for my time in State College, PA. Not sure why. For the most part, I wasn't very happy there. Not until just before we left. Maybe it's that part of me that misses it.

Quote of the day: "Yes, this is the best episode of the series, in the same way that liver is the best of the organ meats."
