kestrellMy old BookSense ebook reader died in the night a couple of nights ago, which resulted in my scrabbling through a pile of cardboard boxes in order to find my backup ebook reader because, yes, I am that paranoid about not having a functional ebook reader, and even then I had a complete meltdown because it took hours to charge the battery, during which time I growled that I hated everything. Except Alexx. And my monster plushies. And then I pulled the covers over my head and told Alexa to make rain (I skipped on adding thunder and lightning because that would have been a little much).
So that's a brief glimpse into what Dark Kestrell is like. Be glad she doesn't live in your attic.
Anyway.
Today I addressed the issue of all these hardback-sized boxes that electronics come packaged in.
I culled it down to a single box, but that box is stuffed with lots of little cables and adapters that I don't know what they go to, but I'm scared to throw them out, just in case.
I have about a dozen of those short adapters for turning a standard USB plug into a mini. Is it just me, or is the uselessness of any type of cable directly proportional to how many of them one accumulates? I think they've taken the place of wire hangers, only we can't turn them into bicycles.

re: the Kindle Fire ABOUT FUCKING TIME!
Can't wait to hear what it's like! I assume you also use the NLS's talking book player, or was your Booksense (rip) able to deal with the NLS DRM?

Date: 2019-03-03 02:30 pm (UTC)My Kindle Fire HD 10 arrived yesterday evening, but a friend was over and we were celebrating Mardi Gras. I got us extra fancy beads: hers had a mermaid which was wearing a mask and more beads, and mine had a skull with flowers. The figure is basically a large stone or plaster cameo with brightly-colored details. We also had King cake and lates from my housemate's espresso machine. Oh, and I made jambalaya.
Rambling, need to consume some decaf. Today I'll be exploring using my new Kindle. More later, take care.
