Monday the 13th, most accursed of days! Unsurprisingly, my iPad did not come back to life, so I had to trek down to the Apple store. I got Popeye’s in the food court while I was waiting, and it wasn’t bad. Eventually I got a time slot and the technician tried to make my pad live again but could not, concluding that it’s the board rather than the battery. Since it’s ancient and out of warranty, I had to replace it with a shiny new one. I guess it’s good to be up to date, but I’m not sure what I think of this face ID thing, and now I need two kinds of charging cables. Magnetic pencil is nice, though.

Read: Like Stars in Heaven (Eric Thomson): Third in the missiles-in-space series. As usual, the conquering space orcs are far less of a threat to humanity than humans are.

Read: Katalepsis ch 5.1-8 (Hungry): Finally, we get to see some of Evelyn’s backstory and yes, it’s just as terrible as she made it sound. Also Praem is getting weird.

Written: FAIL.
