I’d imagine that my mind was conjured up by the universe simply to look at itself in gladness and awe.

Weird & Wonderful Wednesday

I mean, it’s required that I read all the books and stories where someone allows a ‘small implant’ to be put in their head. In this case it’s the Pulse brain implant, put there so that they can better connect to the Panopticon network. But, not surprisingly, the government has oversight of it, and, well… it goes where you think it would go. Let’s just say that it goes more the way of dystopia than hearts and puppies and openness.

What have I learned from reading Science Fiction for *mumble mumble* years? Two things, don’t don’t don’t ever let anyone put ‘just a small implant’ in your head or your body or do something that in anyway it can’t be taken off, stepped in, thrown away, etc. Oh, and, also, keep a second or third pair of glasses in case you step on one.

In all seriousness though, this was an interesting take on what I like to think of as ‘implant fiction’, as well as a really really fun take on the Orpheus and Eurydice myth. As a lifelong fan of all Greek myth, that is what pulled me in, and I really liked how it was interwoven throughout the story. It was a fun read. Just… no implants, more than one pair of prescription glasses.

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.

Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

i love being married to a straight guy. this morning we were parallel chilling and i glance at his computer and he's watching a drill fight tournament. as in, guys attaching drills to the same rod and turning them on until one breaks. to find the strongest drill. jose noticed me staring and rolled out of the way so i could see the screen. he knew every drill brand and told me their quality and price. i watched the whole thing without comment. the violence was enchanting. i never would have found this. he's a vector to an entirely alien, often beautiful, world.

It could be a mistake. But you can’t tiptoe through life never making mistakes. I’m going to take this love, take all the love where I can find it and pray that it lasts.

AHHH I think I've ruined my kitten by bringing him up in a house of elderlies. he's hit month 5, and now all he wants to do is old fuck activities with the seniors (lie around, sleep, watch the birds). it's like watching a toddler harumph while reading the morning newspaper. be young again!!! I'm sorry!
