No Doom III :-(
OR Serenity! Every site I check tells me that they should've both been out by Thursday... We'll probably have to postpone our Movie-Game podcast now. *sigh*
Cameron and I went to a yummy Indian place near the Kingston-Ferry dock called Sahib. We arrived there a bit too late, though, so we had to rush and skip desert, which included an ocular-appeasing dish of Mango Mousse. Darn... We will return!
I've been thinking about the Scholastic Arts & Writing Awards lately, and FastWeb finallly sent me notification of their upcoming competition. So this winter, I will be working on pieces to enter the Journalism, Personal Essay/Memoir, Short Short Story, and Nonfiction Portfolio categories. I already have a lot of ideas and new writing tasks set for myself. I'm *very* excited about it. :-)
OH yes. Also, this weekend, Cameron and I went to Half-Priced Books in Bellevue and bought $96.64-worth of stuff :-O! Cameron bought another unabridged Hitchhiker's Guide (makes a good gift); "The Count of Monte Cristo," seemingly one of his all-time favourite books; a Tonka computer game (incl. a Tonka truck) and "The Big Book of Bugs" for his little cousin; and "A Plague Upon Humanity" by Daniel Barenblatt, a book about the Japanese [and US-assisted] cover-up of a pseudo-genocide of some 40,000 Chinese for the purpose of disease-testing and general guinea pig labours. I found it while putting another book back and showed it to Cameron, and we both thought it looked really interesting.
I bought a box set of Henry David Thoreau's most famous works: The Maine Woods, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, and Walden. I also purchased "Essays" by Ralph Waldo Emerson, "The Dead Walk" (a collection of old horror b-flicks and a bonus 10 episodes of "The Veil" starring Vincent Price), and 3D Home Architect software :-D. I'm so eager to play with it, heehee... you can customize everything, from floor plans to cabinets! Great price of $14.98, too. :-)
Mmm, better attend to these essays...
Weird Science, plastic tubes and pots and pans...
