text: So, if this happens to you, odds are you caught this new virus going around. It sucks, but according to the Geek Squad, it is fixable through either a factory reset or taking it in and having the pros look at it (in case you don’t want to lose all your data and programs). So now you know a bit more about it, and while it’s not the blue screen of death, it’s still a blue screen of doom (or at the very least, of worry). It might take a lot of work to fix it, but it is fixable, so don’t freak out.
  Anyways, I just wanted to warn y’all about this new virus, and to take a minute to remind y’all to always back up your computers, because you never know when something like this will hit.
  Well, after a very stressful week, I’m finally off to my first book convention of the year, Coastal Magic! It's my second time going, and I can't wait! I’ll be gone until the 8th, and I’ll do a recap (and maybe even a giveaway) when I get back. So if you don’t hear from me, it’s probably because I’m off having a great time (or I’m up so freaking late and have so much going on that I have absolutely no time to go on my computer). Anyways, y’all have a good weekend!
  Take Me is on sale right now for $.99. These e-books would cost over $40 if purchased separately. This set will only be available for a limited time.
  His hand caresses my face now, curves around my cheek. I catch myself leaning into his touch, like a cat getting petted, and I immediately stiffen. His lips curve into a knowing smile. The bastard knows the effect he has on me. “A long time, I hope,” he says.

  In the early spring, I arrived at the Songgang bus stop, “under the bridge”–a pedestrian overpass on the G107 expressway. The stop teemed with migrant workers and motorcycle cabbies, who screamed, “Where are you going?”
  I jumped on the back of a motorcycle and zipped across proper roads until we came to the dirt road that leads into Bitou Village, a small village located on the southern banks of the Dongbao River, which separates Shenzhen and Dongguan. According to historical records, Bitou was once a relatively prosperous village within local marketing networks. However, by 1980 the village had been more or less abandoned, and the new village is itself in various stages of disrepair with unregulated, low-skill manufacturing on the river banks.
  In Bitou, factory space is advertised at 2 rmb per square meter, but there are no takers because tomorrow (June 28, 2016) the number 11 subway line opens. The line covers 51.9 kilometers in 55 minutes–a high speed connection that has made real estate development more profitable than manufacturing near subway stations. Suddenly, building owners are waiting to be bought out, while illegal buildings (built with an eye to taking advantage of the subway) have been left incomplete, abandoned before they were ever inhabited.

  Legendary Asbury Park, NJ venue The Stony Pony kicked off their Summer Stage Outdoor series in grand fashion with a sold out show courtesy of Halestorm. Along for the ride were supporting acts The Pretty Reckless and Starset. This show had been on my radar since it was announced back in late winter and my wife had been expressing her interest in it rather enthusiastically as well. Of course I had ulterior motives with my desires.
