I want a second tattoo. I've wanted it 3 years so far, but I doubt I'll ever get it. Tattoos are still seen as somewhat "taboo" in the business world. So my second tattoo is one I try to carry in my heart, since I can't carry it on my body. My very first post… Continue reading The tattoo I carry in my heart
Author: Librin Latone
Writer, nerd, and perpetual student. I am obsessed with books - both the reading and the making of them. If I won the lottery I would try to have the best private(ish) library in the world. It wouldn't be totally private because the whole purpose of having books is helping other people find a book they will love.
I have 2 cats, Genkii (energy) and Kawaii (cutie). I will mention them regularly because they are a daily delight in my life. Granted, sometimes when I'm playing video games they are not so much "delight" as they are "distraction"... but I love them regardless.

Short Story: Brain Port Plug Data recovery #1785
The radio ping tells me Moria is on the way. I slowly peel myself out of the chair to stand. As the last of the mesh releases me, I double-check the auto-pilot one more time. The captain felt pretty confident this lane should be safe, but I still feel the whole deal was pretty shady.… Continue reading Short Story: Brain Port Plug Data recovery #1785

Dreams of Tea
This weekend my mother and I drove to North Carolina to visit a tea farm. I took the afternoon off work Friday so we could drive up. We stayed in a Holiday Inn and Saturday morning we headed to Chapel Hill NC - Camillia forest (http://www.camforest.com) to look at tea plants. I've been telling mom… Continue reading Dreams of Tea
