Outgoing: Five shitty fantasy novels.
Incoming: Two books of essays for me, two DVDs for Emmy, and a Jill Scott CD for R.

I also found Bernard's stash of marginally terrible pop CDs, so those are going up too. Unfortunately everyone on Swaptree wants to get rid of their old Jewel albums as well, so there aren't many takers.

Meanwhile,we continue the saga of Fire of the Crystal Elven Magesword of Dragonstar: The Pegasus Chronicles, Book Three: The Moonwand Cycle. As a scholar of the series I bring to you the tale of The Elves of Atlantis and their allies, the inhabitants of the Torch Wood.

I'm pretty sure iambickilometer and I hate ourselves a little right now.

Tomorrow I am taking off early early early for home. Last night I texted R because I was watching the Colts-Chargers game and wanted to know if he saw that AWESOME INTERCEPTION, and he texted back "Yes I did! Come over, I have snacks! We can watch SNL!"

I texted back, "I'm still in Texas. See you Monday?"

To which he replied, "We have six hours of muthafuggin WHEEL to watch. Bring Byron's."

So apparently tomorrow I fly home, unpack, and then get to spend most of the day watching Wheel and eating onion straws. DOUBLE WIN.

So, I got kind of tired of my old Chicago Inna Bowl wallpaper, and when I changed over to the new laptop I decided on a new one. BEHOLD!



That is a screengrab from The Next Doctor -- I trimmed it to fit, ran it through a Photoshop filter to take care of the heavy pixelation, isolated Mrs. Hartigan, and then washed out the background to make her pop -- otherwise the background is too dark and overshadows the icons.

If you'd like the wallpaper itself, you can grab it here. Have fun!
