In other news, I am going to see Tamora Pierce tonight at the Burlingame Books Inc.! Yay! Which means I will finally succumb to the temptation to get The Will of the Empress in hardcover and probably get not enough sleep tonight.
After that, though, there needs to be a budget freeze so that I can start saving up for my NY trip for Thanksgiving, since I anticipate spending a lot on Broadway shows (hopefully Avenue Q), food (duh), clothes (Sales! Sales galore! shopping with my sister!), and books, books, and more books (The Strand! Oh how I have longed to visit you!).
I also feel much, much better now that I spent all of yesterday vegging on the couch, knitting and watching VMars with
consonantia instead of doing something "useful" like folding laundry. I figure destressing much more important than unwrinkly clothes anyway. I may even start being silly and scheduling in a bum day every week, in which I sit around, bum, watch TV and play on LJ.More blather to come, as am trying to catch up on book blogging, weekend reports, and LJ in general. Ah, LJ, how nice it is to have time for you again!
