ramble

I got a nifty new Roomba vacuum cleaner and tried it for the first time yesterday. It immediately headed under the bed to annihilate the dust bunnies nesting there. After a few forays it emerged, triumphantly pushing my copy of Michelle Sagara's Cast in Ruin that the dust bunnies were holding hostage.  I LOVE my new robot.  Pardon me I must go re-read my rescued book.

The freerice website now has a literature quiz....and I STINK at it.  I really should start reading something more than children's books or fantasy.
