The business of the day begins with my groin and ends with cannibalism

I pulled a muscle in my groin doing sidekicks in the pool yesterday. Today I am walking like a penguin.


I've started using Spotify. Not sure how to make best use of it, though, especially finding friends. Should I let it have access to my Facebook? Do I want my family knowing what music I'm listening to? Do I want to know what music they're listening to? One of my brothers-in-law and the only one I know for sure uses Spotify, is a big Daft Punk fan, and I'm not, particularly, so I'm undecided on the matter.

Anyone here on Spotify? Can I, like, add you or whatever? If I can figure out how to do that. So far, I've just been throwing random artists I like at it and seeing what it spits out, which is working okay, but I'm sure I should be doing more or something.


Book signal boost:

Death By Silver by Amy Griswold and Melissa Scott, aka amygriswold and mescott.

This book is heaps, heaps, heaps of fun! Murder mystery set in Victorian-era London, with magic as an everyday kind of thing. Queer representation, public school beatings, and magic teapots. Harry Potter meets original flavour!Sherlock Holmes. Go buy it! This book needs a fandom of more than me. (There are ebooks coming soon, or so I believe.)



ETA: It's also available at Book Depository with free international shipping.



Recipes cannibalised from other recipes so I can cook it properly next time, part two:
Beef and Kidney Bean Stew

( Despite the titillating mention of cannibalism, there are no actual kidneys in this recipe )
