This feels like a contradiction.

I love Janet Kagan but can't stand Wen Spencer.

I mean, on the surface it seems like they write similar kinds of books - pleasant SF that's more social sciences than hard science, with lots of Cuteness with a capital C. But somehow what's mildly silly when Kagan does it, I just find irritating coming from Spencer.

That was not good apple juice.

Nope.

In fact, in general, very little of the food that gets left in the library for people to take away after meetings could be accurately called "good." This is shocking and saddening, and some action must be taken.

Action like probably "finishing the juice bottles anyway," seeing as I have to pay for other juice.

Having re-read a bunch of Vorkosigan books again over the past couple days, the tiny angry mob in my head continues to demand another book about Mark. Also, Janet Kagan needs to go write some sort of book. She's taken enough time off. She needs to get back the book thing. And Rosemary Kirstein needs to write faster. I am not feeling adventurous about reading material, and require that the world provide me with more stuff I already know I like.
