It's a good thing

[listersgirl]

In order to stop myself from whining about the snow YET AGAIN, I present a list of things which are of the good:

1. Four day weekend!

2. Which means this is technically Friday. Woo.

3. Craft fair with idella and starfishchick on Saturday.

4. Lunch with sarcasma today.

5. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead on DVD.

6. I broke down and bought Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell because it's too damn big and I had to keep returning it to the library, so I can start that this weekend.

7. hamstrings that no longer hurt.

8. One Man Lord of the Rings is coming back to town! (Sadly, not at Fringe prices, but still.)

9. I cleared one of the many piles off my desk.

10. I bought shelving for the bathroom, which is slowly getting put together, and once it's finished, I can get everything off the bathroom floor.

11. Which means I won't have to lean at a 45 degree angle to get at the mirror.

12. Which means I will stop poking myself with the mascara brush.

13.The broccoli, bok choy, red pepper and tofu stir-fry I made for dinner last night.

What's good with you all?

The problem with that book was that the hardcover was so heavy I couldn't take it anywhere. I hate that. Books need to be portable!

$100 and dinner? Score.

I agree. I'm finishing Neal Stephenson's trilogy right now... 3 hardcover 800+ page books are painful on the wrists, arms, etc. :(

I bought Cryptonomicon on that same bookstore trip for the same reason - too heavy! Can't carry!

Oof. Don't remind me. I almost stopped reading, it was such a nuisance (especially since I usually just carry my laptop bag around with me: no room for a huge-ass book in there).

It's got to the point where I have an LCBO bag (those things are tough!) that I use to lug big books around with me. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell is next on my reading list. (We saw Clarke give a reading at the festival of authors this year! :D)
