Wait, you only just now heard one for the first time? O_o

Yep. They don’t have tornado warning sirens in the Pacific Northwest, and you can’t really warn for earthquakes. I didn’t live on the coast, so I never heard tsunami sirens.

If there was a siren test here last month, I didn’t hear it. Before that, I was on the road.

I did not know that! I’ve always lived places where we actually need them for, well, tornado purposes and on a regular basis, so I didn’t even think about the PNW not using CD sirens for that. I kind of assumed that everywhere did!

Hehe nope! The tornadoes we got there were so puny and pathetic and sporadic, it wasn’t a big deal. The only places that had sirens were the coast, the nuclear power plants, and the Totally Not Dangerous At All weapons disposal sites. I didn’t live near any of those. Drove past them sometimes.

Let me know what you thought about it at the end? I had some unexpected feelings but as much as I love Garak, I found it an absolute slog in some places as well.

I have mixed feelings. It was an interesting read for me, and related to a lot of it in ways I didn’t expect. It did get bogged down sometimes, and some of the editing errors (not sure if that was just because it was the Kindle version or not?) drove me crazy. But overall, I enjoyed it. It was a good distraction from being sick and wanting to be doing anything besides laying in bed all day. Most of it compliments my own portrayal of Cardassian character and culture, and that was gratifying.

Honestly there are some parts of it that I wish certain people I knew would read. Other parts…I got too foggy brained to sort out. Maybe not the best book to read while drowsy!

I think it’s some ongoing revenge thing. Can’t do justice with writing then BY THE USERS you will not fuck up with the baking if you know what’s good for you. And you will mow the lawn precisely. (Bad at Clu1, too, but he’s more or less pacified with the cross-stitch and the puzzle I have of him.)

I write and cosplay as both. I hope I do decently well at them. But I’m -them- so much that they just took over my life. Clu1 more slowly. He’s quieter. More patient. I didn’t even notice that he was doing it. Clu2 is obvious. Clu1…one day, he’s just quietly in the back of my mind, and the next, he’s latching onto poofy sweaters and purchasing the James Bond theme on iTunes.

ahaa I kinda headcanon that, too. I love it when my Clu2 muse gets the urge to make dinners and bake because the food is amaaazinng, and I otherwise don’t have the patience for it. Congratulations on the perfection ^^

We are not going to discuss what mine has done to my kitchen decorating scheme, which is now based around the color yellow. I may suck at playing the guy but it’s great when I’m tempted to make a really stupid recipe adjustment.

I have a double-whammy of Clus. Yellow is starting to infiltrate everything I do. But yes, it can be helpful! My last batch of cinnamon biscuits was my best yet, and I was out of practice.
