Field trip!
I'm so much of a homebody that virtually any outing I make (aside from going to work) is a cause for celebration. That said, today Summer and I went on a quest.
We began simply enough, by dropping my prescriptions off at the store. Then we kicked it up a notch: we went to the Borders in Fairfax to pick up a new toy I'd put on hold (more on that in a bit) and the Yael Naim CD (which I highly recommend, even if most of the songs are in Hebrew and French--perfect rainy day music). Then things got so unbearably exciting that Summer could hardly contain herself: we went to Petco. I'm serious, she made these terrible high-pitched squeaks the entire time we were there. The errand was to get cat food, but Summer picked up a delicious green milkbone, too. For me, there was an Asiago cheese bagel from Panera. Yay field trip!
Anyway, onto the NEW TOYS (for me, not Summer).
That's right, all 10 seasons of Stargate SG-1! That thing is pretty darn difficult to get a good photo of, too, since the flash makes it do this:
It is pretty, though.
That 54 discs, baby!
My other new toy is less a toy than it is a book. A very exciting book. Storybook Style by Gellner and Keister is a book I came across while browsing a local B&N. I hadn't even known there was such a thing as storybook style architecture, but apparently there is. There's also a fan club.
And so it joins my ever-increasing collection of art books. Here's a better look at that stack:
...which isn't even the entire collection.
I leave you with what I found to be a very interesting blog: The World Heritage Site. It accounts the travels of primarily one man to as many of the places in the UNESCO World Heritage list as he can. Features information, traveling tips, and fantastic photos.
