mmegaeraSomething really odd has begun happening since I started posting my trip blog posts on my WordPress blog (this is the first real posting I've done on it since I moved over from Blogger a while back).
Every time I post I get a few more email notifications that complete strangers (so far as I can tell) are following me. Some even comment. Now don't laugh, I know that's the purpose of the blog, and I'm certainly not complaining [g], but that never happened over on Blogger in the several years I was there.
Is WordPress just that much better at getting people to notice other folks' blogs, or is it something new I'm doing that I just don't realize I'm doing? (the latter is highly unlikely)
Anyway, I think it's cool.
Completely unrelated spoiler warning ahead...
I finished the eARC of Captain Vorpatril's Alliance last night in one fell gulp (started about 5:30, finished about 1:30). I like this one much better than CryoBurn, not least because it's a whole book, with a fantastic ending. Oh, Ivan, she flung every single last one of your worst things at you, including your claustrophobia, and you ended up happy in spite of (or perhaps because of) it all! Your wife's a sweetie, too. In spite (or perhaps because) of her family. Ye godlings [g].
Longer post ahead when I've caught my breath from laughing. Which wasn't just from all the in-jokes, legion though they were. Lois was channeling Preston Sturges, I swear. Or maybe Frank Capra.
