reading & Hugos

Posted on 2015-07-29 by Proseknitic

I seriously thought about what I should be doing this morning. Two loads of laundry won over cleaning. Then I remembered that the Hugo voting closes in two days and I hadn’t read everything. There is such thing as intelligent … Continue reading →
