I have made pizza casserole! (It's really just poor man's lasagne.) That was a lot of work for not a lot of turnout. I think I'll stick to making spag bol in the crockpot.

Apparently Gutenberg doesn't do approvals on weekends, so the free PDF of Dead Isle is still languishing in the queue, but in the meantime I also threw it on Google Drive, and you can download it here. I also wanted to say I have received all the signed-copy requests and I'll be processing those at work on Tuesday when I have access to a computer with a large screen and functional down-arrow key again. (Long story, I'm getting it fixed.) So don't worry that you haven't had me confirm your request yet.

After Delicious crashed and burned, I got a Pinboard, and it's great, but I balked at buying a second one for my fanfic archive. I've just now managed to consolidate all the "You like this story!" links in one place, and I'm moving them to Evernote. I'm trying to turn it into a habit whereby I bookmark fics I want to keep, all week long, and then transfer them to Evernote during downtime on the weekend all at once.

Which means in the future I may even post fanfic reccs here. What a thought.

Because I am a prestigious and well known Man About Internet, I acquired the first episode of Elementary recently, and sat down to watch it.

I was not aware it was possible to ruin Sherlock Holmes so thoroughly. I am almost impressed at how terrible that was. The acting was first-class, which is a shame because they had a truly bad script to plow through. It wasn't even funny-bad.

( Three brief spoilery things. )

I do hate to compare Elementary to Sherlock because it's usually unfair to compare one show to another that has had such huge critical acclaim, but even without the comparison, it's objectively bad television.
