Infrequent words. Frequent baking. Two cats. Newly minted cross-stitch mania. Perpetually waiting for MCU space ponies. She/her.

Him: OK... I'm going to assume that it has great importance in the overarching narrative, then.
Me: It certainly does have significance for certain things!

Heh.

[Diana Baxter @DianaBaxter]

Preparing @Mydnight07 to read his next @StevenBrust book, which is Tiassa.
Him: How does it rank?
Me: Strong contender for top five.
Him: When in the timeline?
Me: [cackle] There is absolutely no way that I can answer that coherently.

@SpookyEvilOne Fenris says a cautious hello. Loki wonders if you have treats. Both would be interested in insect murder on your behalf.

It was, however, the very first package to be delivered to the new address, which must be an omen of some variety.

[Diana Baxter @DianaBaxter]

In a much delayed edition of cats with books, Grimnir is offering support as I work through the latest from @StevenBrust. Typically, this would have been taken care of the first week of release, but it arrived on moving day and I've been preoccupied.

@SashaDevlin The King Arthur Flour fudgy chocolate birthday cake, paired with the chocolate buttercream from the Tasty ultimate chocolate cake. The Tasty ultimate is usually my go-to for both cake and frosting, but it was for someone who wouldn't have appreciated the beer component

[Diana Baxter @DianaBaxter]

@SashaDevlin Cake and frosting.

I rudely interrupted Grimnir's sunbathing. I have no regrets.

Sometimes Dexter gets a little enthusiastic with his wet food, which means he gets subjected to an hour of us calling him "Soupface."

[Diana Baxter @DianaBaxter]

Grimnir is taking advantage of empty bookshelves; Dexter is impatient for food.

Packing books sometimes leads to strange bedfellows, but this is clearly a Very Important Box.

@SashaDevlin I may keep a spreadsheet of dinner options and when I've had them. Is it better or worse that when I'm in a rut, it's an intentional rut?

Hey, it seems my debut novel about poets and power, Last Song Before Night, is on sale in ebook for less than a Starbucks latte. If you've been on the fence, now may be a good time to check it out. https://t.co/lrecXE2l8j

[Diana Baxter @DianaBaxter]

@lynnemthomas It is an absurd good time. And very pretty.

[Diana Baxter @DianaBaxter]

@IlanaCT But I have to wait two days! Injustice!

[Diana Baxter @DianaBaxter]

Black beans are an important component of a balanced diet.

@Mydnight07 @StevenBrust @TriptychBrewing I marginally forgive you for drinking That Stout without me.

[Diana Baxter @DianaBaxter]

@Mydnight07 He thinks he wants some kibble and/or snuggles.

[Diana Baxter @DianaBaxter]

And what is actually a funny joke that we know but the main character doesn't understand yet. Anyway. Genuine thanks for making our conversations weirder than normal, @StevenBrust!

[Diana Baxter @DianaBaxter]

So @Mydnight07 is making progress in reading my most favorite series (Vlad Taltos), and because it is written out of chronological order I have to navigate our discussions while remembering what is a future spoiler and what is a past spoiler that we haven't yet reached.
