Waves feebly

I have been ill. And overworked. But mostly ill.

A short time before Mr Brammers gave me his virus, he decided we should switch ISPs. In theory this was a good idea, in actuality, it was weeks of me having no internet. While dying. I tried to read a book. It was Wolf Hall. It fell on my face every time I every time I felt faint. Alas, I felt faint quite a bit. That is one big bloody book. I took to reading Agatha Christie paperbacks instead. Lovely and thin.

I have an enormously long post on Australian politics coming up in the near future. I do not have one on the current fandom brouhaha, though I do think satire is the appropriate response to both. I have a dream in which rationality is commonplace, but in the words of the Ruddbot, that's:

Wolf Hall is fantastic. Maybe you should give it another try once you are well again. :)

What, of the many, is the particular fandom brouhahaha to which you refer?

You're ill too often for such a fit active healthy lively person! All his fault, eh.


(A brouhaha? Fandom? One?)

I so need to read your satire on anything! Just saying, from the south in the (royal) sun of France.

I thought you'd been quiet

I have to say, I'm thrilled that you have internet back and are feeling better. :)

Glad you are better! Luckily for me I wasn't aware of any brouhaha. Now thanks to you, I am forewarned and ready with a private eye-roll.

Sick and no internet...ack! Poor baby! Failing internet, I like short, quirky mysteries (or, you know...sleep).

Wonderful clip. That could address so very many things :-)

Feel better soon!

I'm glad to hear you're doing better, with few or no book-related concussions.

As far as the fan brouhaha goes, I missed that one, but then if I was any farther outside of fandom, I'd be in a parallel universe. Though I was thinking that things had been awful quiet lately (at least in Potterland; I've seen a couple of teen wolf posts that made me groan).

Looking forward to the political satire.

Oh goodness, a lack of internet is the hardest thing.

I have things set up somewhat reasonably on my phone; the most important thing for me was an easy way to save links for later so I could look at them properly. Otherwise it's just endless Twitter, the occasional Dreamwidth post, attempting to deal with the scrolling background on my Dreamwidth reading page, and swearing at whatever bastard designed the LJ app because OH MY GOD NO.

Sorry you have been sick, and glad you are on the way to recovery. Skinny books are definitely the way to go when ill and in bed (or very small, lightweight readers).

Very much looking forward to your political post. I don't know much about Australian politics, but you make it very entertaining.

Hope you're feeling better. I got bronchitis and pneumonia twice in one year and it shot to shit my lungs FOREVER. My sympathies.
