Hello, 2010. My fingers don't want to type you yet. Don't take it personally. They'll get with the program before long. Probably.
Quark is, very literally, nose-down in her blanket. As in, she's on her side, so her head should logically be sideways as well, cheek resting on the blanket. Oh, no. She has to twist her head so that her nose is pressed flat into the blanket. I don't know how she breathes that way. Ha - neither does her own body. She just woke up to sneeze. Having cats around means there's always something adorable to look at.
Mom and I went to the mall today, partly to kill time, partly to browse post-holiday sales. The sales well and truly suck, and Macy's was playing some bizarre music that Mom said - very accurately - would not sound out of place in a Turkish techno dance club.
I placed my Amazon order. I bought: The Domino Pattern, Alien Stars, Hitler's Fate: The Final Story, How Much For Just the Planet?, and Tomorrow, When the War Began. I did wind up spending a bit more than $25, but considering that three of those books were used at bargain prices, not all that much more. Alien Stars has a novella by Zahn, Hitler's Fate is most definitely not the final story but Hitler stuff is pretty much always interesting so why not, I used to have How Much For Just the Planet? and it's quite funny (don't know what happened to my copy), and I've heard good things about Tomorrow, When the War Began. So yeah, I'm pretty pleased with this order. Amazon is telling me that the estimated shipping date is January 11 and I'd be fine with that were it the case, but it's probably not. I'll probably get an e-mail from them in a couple of days saying that my order has shipped. I do love Amazon.
In the "never really expected this" category, I'm an Archive editor again. Funny thing, life. :P
And now I am off to divide my night between vigorous housecleaning and organizing, beta reading, catch up reading at the Archive's staff boards, and hopefully (maybe-perhaps) some work on WIPs of my own. Gotta run on this Diet Coke caffeine-fueled high while it lasts. :P
