Purchases

[vilakins]

I went to a book sale to spend $100 worth of vouchers and did quite well. For $104 I got:

Season 3 of Red Dwarf on DVD (I already have seasons 1 and 2)

Uncle Tungsten by Oliver Sacks whose neurological books I love. This is about his chemistry-loving boyhood and should be excellent.

A large lavishly-illustrated Star Trek book about the making of (for only $10, how could I lose?)

A DIY calendar of heavy black paper with the months for 2004 printed in silver and space for one's own artwork or photos. This will of course be a Blake's 7 calendar. I will have to spend some time choosing and captioning 12 pics for it, but I already have the photo-quality paper to print them on.

I also had an excellent lunch of pakoras, pea and potato curry with naan, and coffee. So all in all, a very profitable day.

However I'm concerned at how I will find time to read these and other recently-acquired books let alone write my neglected PGP with the monster that is b7_rpg eating up all my time.

Happy New Year

I had one of those calendars a couple of years back, found the silly thing had two July and no August! Good idea though, aren't they? I had postcards of places I'd been in it, a great one of the Prisoner penny-farthing I remember in particular. It looked good because the background of the postcard was black too.
Oh, Happy New Year by the way :0)

Happy New Year to you too! It's 2004 here and I've just been watching fireworks and drinking champagne!

Happy New Year from, me, too, btw! It's still 2003 here for another 14 hours... How is 2004, since you're getting it first? :)

Hmm, I wonder if Red Dwarf S3 is out here yet...

It's almost 9:30 in the morning here, hot, sunny, cicadas chirping outside. I've only just got up, zonked after several late nights, and haven't dared check b7_rpg yet.

Greg will be making us a roesti, a sort of huge Swiss latke, and vanilla-soy cappuccino soon, yum!

Sounds nice!

Not a whole lot's been going on on the RPG. Dunno if you checked yesterday, but the Truth-or-Dare game ended up being interesting. At the moment, it's mostly just been quiet coffee-drinking on the flight deck.
