(no subject)

1) I got a smartphone! A Samsung galaxy ace that looks like an iPhone 3, which means it's a boorrrring white (and the black is even worse). But it has been amusing to play with it (and also to discover my fingers are apparently too big for texting quickly).

2) Hast been reading books that were unearthed from depths of bookshelf. Here's the beginning of one:

Memory makes desires of its own. Deep in the candle hours it casts Hong Kong up like a shimmering sea of color against flames made of ache, fright, wonderment. Above all, it remembers her, when it ought to be getting on with life and other things. But it's no use trying to stop memory, and I've given up.

~Jadewoman, by Jonathan Gash.

Re-reading this makes me remember that the Lovejoy books aren't just misadventures, murder and general chicanery (but also - antiques).
