DENIAL: No, finishin a book every 2,7 days is not absurd!
ANGER: Why are all these books so long!!
BARGAINING: If you read a book and tell me about it, that counts, right?

Buenas noches, criaturas valientes. 🌙

Creo que he pillado un resfriado de esos traicioneros que llegan disfrazados de “solo era un poco de fresco”.
Entre el aire acondicionado, el calor de la calle y las noches raras, el cuerpo ya no sabe si estamos en junio o en una ruleta rusa climática.

Así que esta noche toca manta ligera, algo calentito y negociar pacíficamente con la garganta antes de que decida independizarse del resto del cuerpo.

Cuidaos mucho.
Dormid bien.
Y mañana jueves… otra vez a fingir que somos adultos funcionales mientras buscamos café con mirada de superviviente. ☕😌

Una flor de estilo rústico y tonos cálidos sobre un fondo texturizado de color marrón oscuro. La flor tiene pétalos alargados de color amarillo mostaza y, en lugar de un centro natural, lleva un pequeño corazón de madera clara. El tallo y dos hojas de la flor están formados por una cuerda fina de hilo de yute o esparto. En la parte inferior, centrado, aparece el texto en blanco: "!!Feliz noche!!".

Ebook: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1493779

The painter of the universe, known as Life, just wanted to fulfill her reason for being, by creating a universe full of beautiful wonders and living things, but her twin brother, Death, exists solely to destroy her work, leading to an intractable argument about whose work should prevail.

@bookstodon

(Left) The Cover of Emergent Consequences, by Owen Tyme, illustrated by Ryan Johnson.

Life and Death lay asleep in a the grass, the way they lay slightly resembling the yin-yang symbol. The tools of their trades are scattered around them.

Life is a woman with black hair, in a white robe. Behind her are the paint brush and palette she paints the universe with. She's rather short and has rosy cheeks.

Death is a skeleton in a black robe, which appears to be continually disintegrating at the hem line. Behind him lay his scythe and scroll of names.

Between Life and Death is the hourglass that serves as the source of time for the entire universe, an item that's most commonly carried by Death, but which is part of the work of both of them.

The artwork is cartoonish, with some bushes and a tree that has one red piece of fruit dangling from it. The scene is looked upon by the sun, which frowns at everything.

(Right) The background is an image of some green bacteria with the following quote over the top:

"I think I'll call it Ted."

"Ted? You want to name micro-organism Ted? Are you serious?"

"Yes, Ted."

"Alright, I just thought Bob would fit better."

Book Review: Feet of Clay by Terry Pratchettt

Author: Terry Pratchettt
Title: Feet of Clay
Publication Info: Victor Gollancz, 1996
Summary/Review:

Once again, there’s a plot to remove Lord Vetinari the Patrician of Ankh-Morpork, who is slowly being poisoned by means the evade Sam Vimes’ skills of “detectoring.” Meanwhile the city’s guilds and nobels attempt to make Nobby Nobbs, of all people, their puppet ruler after learning that he may be heir to the royal family. And Captain Carrot investigates a series of murders apparently committed by a golem that has gone mad, followed by several golems dying by suicide, and a golem named Dorfl falsely confessing the crimes.

This may be the best Discworld novel I’ve read yet. It ties together it’s disparate threads perfectly and is full of humor, wordplay, and imagination. Plus it provides great character moments for the large cast that includes the werewolf guard Angua, a female dwarf and forensic expert Cheery Littlebottom, the vampire Dragon King of Arms, and an unfortunate adventure in the sewers for guard Fred Colon and Wee Mad Arthur, a Nac Mac Feegle. The underlying social message that condemns the aristocracy and slavery is also well-done

Favorite Passages:

You wouldn’t find slum-dwellers in these pages, but you would find their landlords. And, while it was regarded as pretty good evidence of criminality to be living in a slum, for some reason owning a whole street of them merely got you invited to the very best social occasions.

The real world was far too real to leave neat little hints. It was full of too many things. It wasn’t by eliminating the impossible that you got at the truth, however improbable; it was by the much hard process of eliminating the possibilities. You worked away, patiently asking questions and looking hard at things. You walked and talked, and in you heart you hoped like hell that some bugger’s nerve’d crack and he’d give himself up.

Rating: ****1/2

Cybercriminals who have never been arrested, help us out: which certification exams did you take to become experts at cybercrime? It seems to me that if we want to be great at cybersecurity, we should take the same certs that made you masters of network penetration.
