Sorry, no donuts here.

Oh well. I guess it's an English muffin for the road then.

Oddly enough, just being awake doesn't seem to mean being ready on time.

I loved the prisoners dancing to Thriller. They also had the same prisoners dancing to a song from Sister Act. Bizarreness! I want more info on how and why this came to happen...

I want the Pioneer Woman to come cook for me. Pork tenderloin and twice baked potatoes and corn casserole, yum

of a woman at an early job asking me if I'd ever opened mail before.

I'm afraid I might've either looked at her like a crazy person, or unthinkingly answered "No", and then realized that made ME look like a crazy person!

I went to the Buffy singalong last night (with Amyth and Beej and my friend Jack). Yay fun! Luckily, the migraine meds kicked in shortly before the show. But that means no HP7 for me yet.

Awww, the Rovers are stuck in a big dust storm and may not recover. I was beginning to think they were going to keep rollin' forever. [link]

Maybe the mystery helper that dusted the one off that other time will find them again?

My raise before last was 7%, but it came on the heels of over 200 hours of comp time vanishing into the ether on Jan 1. I think my boss realized I do better work when not disgruntled and feeling taken advantage of.

This is going to be the craziest election ever.

Before going to WeightWatchers for my weekly weigh-in, I blogged about how I was going to wait patiently for our British edition of HP7 to arrive. It's a good thing I did, because I ran by the grocery store to pick up something for lunch afterward, and I nearly bought a copy spur-of-the-moment. But then I reminded myself of what I'd just blogged, and that I could buy three brand new paperbacks of my choice for that price instead of having two copies of the same book.

Susan! The Canadian edition is identical to the British, and doesn't have to come over ocean! Course, I'm still not getting mine till I get to my parents' place in a week t twitch. twitch

Yeah, no idea why DH didn't order from Canada rather than the UK. That's why we have the British editions in the first place--we were in Victoria for our honeymoon, and we bought the first two books there. DH has a stronger collector/decorator gene than I do, or something, so he likes having all our editions match.

Oh, I sympathize mightily. All of my Buffy DVDs, except for season 5, got ripped off and I've been replacing them slowly. The newer DVDs come in slimline packages and my S5 is in the floppy fold out package. It grates.

Well, I have to admit that I'm holding out on buying all the Sharpe books as opposed to getting them from the library until Bernard Cornwell stops writing them, because I figure then his publisher is bound to put out a nice, matching, beautifully packaged boxed set, which I can shelve beside my Aubrey/Maturin boxed set. As is stands now, the series has at least three different cover styles, one of which I really dislike, and some are MM while others are trade pb, so they'd look sloppy on a bookshelf. I did, however, buy a few of my favorites when he was keynote speaker at a writers conference I attended so I could get them autographed.

It probably just shows I'm less invested in HP than in Sharpe or Aubrey/Maturin.

What drives me batty is when they make a movie of a really good book, and you can only afterwards find it with movie tie-in covers.
