Wednesday, April 23rd, 2025 07:08 pmMy ankles have ballooned from warmth, though it's not yet that warm: maybe in anticipation of tomorrow's 20C; or from indulgence in Cake, though that's a bit fast; or just Because. Should elevate them here on the sofa but not until I finish this.
Finished High Vaultage, well enough in its steampunk fashion but would be better if the prequel-- a podcast I *think*-- was also in print form. And The Baron of Magister Valley, also well enough except I skimmed over Paarfi being Paarfi being tiresomely prolix. This has left me with a desire to reread The Viscount of Adrilankha, which I may do. Searching for same on the study shelves got me also a Belne fantasy manga which I looked at and concluded that my Japanese no longer exists. However, bought new reading glasses this afternoon because the study ones are completely foutu, and this may help with reading manga. Because I got them at Blawblaws they cost three times what the dollar store would charge without any guarantee of being any better, but the dollar store is not come-attable these days when the panhandlers are back at Bathurst and Bloor. If and when my refund comes, maybe.
