My day is good so far. My sister and niece are here on a surprise visit, they're staying for about a week.
I'm not used to being around a teen. XD

This is exactlyWell it carries this author's obsession with characters that are piles of poopy. Like Dorothy is an overly religious brat, and making fun of everything she comes across in Oz. And just unlikeable characters.
what you think it is.
@Koah: LOL! <3 Oh, teens can definitely take some getting used to! What are you guys going to do with your week?
@Another Movie Addict: LOL. I don't remember those details. I should probably just (re)read it. :3

That's actually what I recall from Wicked. I'm tempted to dig out my copy of the book and attempt to re-read it too.
This is exactlyBut I've already read the other two books, so it's only fair to give Wicked a second chance.
what you think it is.
This is exactlyEh not really, they're all still pretty unlikeable. But the other two are more interesting because he mixes fairy tales into historical events. Like the Tulip Fever in the Netherlands, where people lost their homes in debt because of freaking tulips. And putting the very real Medici family into Cinderella. The 'prince' is just a minor noble of that particular family. Then using the Bogias in Snow White.
Wicked though, is pretty much all fantasy. With just really annoying characters.

My niece is 14. We don't have a focus or anything this week while they're here. My vehicle is still in the shop, so I can't really do one-on-one adventures. :T
My house isn't boring, there's plenty to do. But I don't have the kind of energy she wants me to have.
Board games and video games and whatnot. Screen time. e.e'

Good to know AMA. I'll have to look to see if I have the book still loaded on my kindle, but I'll also probably finish reading the series I just started first. No rush ;)
Oh yes, Koah - that whole energy thing is crazy. They're either hyper from all the hormones and just being 14, or, they sleep 22/24 hrs a day! Maybe try to divert her in to other things? A puzzle or board game? A bike ride or walk? Cooking?

Ok, WTF is a Microsoft Edge document and Why The F* is it trying to save a PNG file as that file type... especially when I'm using Firefox and Edge isn't running at all. -grumbles about Microsoft overstepping boundaries and making all kinds of stupid assumptions- (sorry - this is a pet peeve of mine - I'm not usually a fan of MS or its products)
This is exactlyThere are times I really miss my 14yo levels of energy.

"You've had too much of the digital love -
Is it a .webp file, Wildfire?
You want everything live, you want things you can touch."
@Another Movie Addict: LOL! There are times I miss my 30yr old levels of energy! XD
This is exactlyI'm 30 and I have like almost no energy.
what you think it is.
@0v7: no...oh! The file? No, it's a png file hosted on photobucket. I got the file, but it's just annoying that I had to deal with that at all.
"You've had too much of the digital love -
@Wildfire: Ohh, I was about to say - some websites serve .webp files instead of a .png or .jpeg and it's the worst because I have to convert it to upload said image to Imgur

The only time I had "teen energy" was between 15-17. I was lazy before and after that period of time. XD
@Another Movie Addict: I hate to break it to you, but it's only going to get worse. Fix it now if you can :3
@0v7: I understand, and I appreciate you trying to help, Seb. But no, it's a straight-up PNG, temporarily hosted on photobucket (I'm about to change that now and upload it to my server). It's just frustrating to have software that's not even running interfere with what should be a really simple thing

@Wildfire: That's so weird?? I wonder if you can uninstall Edge altogether. I should look it up, actually - cause I hate Edge.

I quit Voltra. Read my profile.
