Okay, so it's the 7th day of the year and I'm going to try to make a weekly post on Dreamwidth about, oh, everything and nothing in particular. As you do.
Today, of course, has been mostly watching the news. Whether cute tiny fish swimming around outside a cafe window after last night's storm or Trump getting endorsed by Greenlandic drug smugglers and basically threatening armed invasions or at least increased toll if Denmark doesn't just hand him the place. At this rate that's what the SVM government is going to have as their legacy.
*sighs* I really can't take four more years of this. The man isn't even president yet and in a world of so many problems, this is what he chooses to focus on first.
I liked the fish better. The fish was cute.
Anyway, apart from news, it's been a very quiet week. Work started back up (I remain skeptical about the entire concept), I hid from the snow and/or rain most of the weekend. The new temporary mini-library in town finally opened yesterday and I swung by to return some books. It's tiny. Not quite as tiny as the one I used to have weekly shifts at in Gjesing in Esbjerg, but still - very tiny.
Of books I'm currently reading ECR Lorac's Speak Justly of the Dead, Lorac being a lesser known contemporary of Christie etc. It's okay so far, I quite like her writing, though I'm starting to suspect that the first of her books that I read, Murder by Matchlight, is one of her best.
Speaking of murder mysteries, I've started watching the Cadfael series. Three episodes in and I wonder if every murder will involve a significant clue in the shape of a tiny flower.
Let's end this post with a fanfic rec. Let's try to make it a tradition, shall we.
So. A rec. Well, I want to rec Ouroboros by ParueCake, which is my favourite fic I read this past week. Well, the latest chapter of this week. It's a Scum VIllain's Self Saving System fic, with the premise of Shen Yuan transmigrating into the snake demon Zhuzhi-Lang instead of SQQ, and prompty freeing Tianlang-Jun from his mountain prison and uniting father and son - which has all led to great concerns from the oh so righteous cultivation sects. The newest chapter has an even more paranoid than usual Shen Jiu investigating at the border town next to the demon realm where Shen Yuan and Tianlang-Jun do their shoppping and interpreting everything in the worst possible light. Yes, yes, Shen Jiu, of course the demon emperor is not buying smutty books because he likes them, it's obviously a means of communicating with the huge demon conspiracy, absolutely.
