Not that I procrastinate or anything, but I bought the 2013 edition of the World Almanac and Book of Facts today -- only a month or two before the 2014 edition comes out. I also picked up the 2014 Writer's Market.
This evening's going to consist of enjoying some peace and quiet at home, where I'm finally getting around to watching Star Trek Into Darkness now that it's out on DVD. I've heard a lot of complaining and moaning about it, but I also heard lots of complaining about the 2009 reboot and that one was excellent. In every fan base, there always seems to be a contingent of overly anal nitpickers who seem to think no story should ever be retold in a new way. Of course, if we heeded such people, there wouldn't be any more stories, since humans have been retelling so many of the same ones for thousands of years.
I got season 2 of The Big Bang Theory from the library. I can't decide whether I find it amusing or disturbing that I so often identify with Sheldon Cooper, who seems to always give voice to exactly what I'm usually thinking in similar real-life situations.
