It rained for three hours straight - thunderstorm, hail and torrential rain - and didn't cool done one bit. That shouldn't be allowed. And now we have all the heat and all the humidity, and ugh.

(Hi! I'm still here. Things are just very busy and I can't seem to find the time or energy for posting, much less keeping up with anything other than the

sid_guardian discussions ... I hope everyone's doing well, whether you're caught in this heat wave too or not.)

It's only one more sleep until the release of The Old Guard 2, and I'm both excited about that and in the space of "Please just don't hurt me." I don't even need it to be good—though that would be nice!—I just need it not to hurt me. Especially since Marwan Kenzari is doing interviews where he's either very jet lagged or maybe just deliberately going goblin mode in the absence of his work husband. Argh.

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

There's nothing like gently dissociating while having a root canal to a playlist consisting of the greatest hits of Kenny Goggins and Engelbert Humperdinck. Neither the dentist nor the assistant are old, so I'm not sure what was going on there. I really hope they didn't think that was my vibe.

( The noise got louder, a gasping wail that sounded like no bird Joe had ever heard on Malta, and then a box materialised on the other side of the terrace. A large blue box that said POLICE on the top, appearing out of thin air. Joe cast a worried glance at the sangria—maybe he'd been a bit too liberal with the wine? Or maybe he'd lain out here too long and he'd got a case of sunstroke? )

( 46. Random in Death - JD Robb ) Another solid book! These are just fun.

( 47. Orbital - Samantha Harvey ) I don't know if I'll want to re-read this, but it was rather beautifully done.

( 48. Masquerades of Spring - Ben Aaronovitch ) Frothy and extremely charming.

( 49. The Two Towers - JRR Tolkien ) Usually the middle book is the weakest of the trilogy, but honestly: so much is happening here.

( 50. Saint Death's Daughter - CSE Cooney ) There was a lot about this that was Not My Thing, but there was enough in the worldbuilding and plotting that really did work for me that I'm sort of... reluctantly considering the sequel. Comparators: a bit of less-depressing Gormenghast, maybe some Gideon the Ninth with fewer pop culture references? I definitely think there's an audience for this book, if they can find it.

( 51. Listening Together - Timothy Radcliffe ) It was a good reminder for me of some approaches I can try with people I respect but disagree with, at least.

( 52. Feminism is for Everybody - bell hooks ) A good introduction, and still more relevant than I would like! But more basic than I think I want these days.
