(belated subject)
I have not-LJ writing to do! But instead I'm here, at least for a brief moment.
So glad that the library system in my town is gradually acquiring more e-books. I have three books on hold right now, and when they're (finally) available, I'll get an e-mail and then download them, all from my comfy couch. It's pretty nifty. I'm currently reading the second book in Seanan McGuire's series with Tobey Daye. I'm wondering if my guesses about two things will be correct... still no guess on the actual murderer yet, but maybe soon?
Oh, hey, one of those books is As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride. It's by Cary Elwes, who played Westley. Eeee, can't wait to read this! If I liked audiobooks better, I would consider buying it in that format, since I've read that the voice impressions were really funny. But... I'm not really an audiobook person, unless it's a full BBC radio production with major actors and sound effects and so forth.
Time for TV now. So, Tuesday night's Person of Interest -- Now THAT was a send-off I can appreciate. Sarah Shahi is pregnant (WITH TWINS, by the way, WHOA), and she doesn't know if she'll be back to work anytime soon. This was a great way to let her character leave. I actually enjoyed this episode quite a bit; first one in a while where I didn't have massive reservations about something.
Currently I have a DVR in my home, and TV channels and everything. Giving it a trial run. Pros: big, pretty picture, and the ability to skip commercials. Also, no lag time on the video. Cons: I'm still not watching any more TV than before, and all of those shows are still available on the internet for free. So... dunno if it's gonna stay.
