YOU'LL FIND ME IN THE STACKS
| Whew! I hope everyone had a terrific holiday season--excluding of course, the impending New Year's celebration. I enjoyed my Christmas tremendously this year. The annual exchange was quite excellent, seeing as how the majority of my friends bought me (Yay!!) BOOKS!! Woo hoo!! Yes, I took home quite an abundance of reading material, not the least of which were 2 new Buffy books--Bite Me, by Nikki Stafford, which may very well be the authority on the show (even more so than The Watcher's Guides...although it is only current through season 6), and the new little book, The Quotable Slayer, compiled by Micol Ostow and Steven Brezenoff (Geez, now people can get credit for being a "compiler"?), which is a pocket guide to all quotes Buffy. Eeexcellent. [/Mr. Burns impression] Amongst the other recent acquisitions to my collection: Toni Morrison's new book Love, the collections of Best American Essays 2003, and Best American Short Stories 2003 (I just love these books, and this year, the Essays collection features one by John Edgar Wideman, prize-winning author and father of one of my all-time favorite women's basketball players, Jamila Wideman). Also, the Book of Positive Quotations which I used to use in school, and at one point owned, but somehow managed to lose, has now been replaced by the Suz (she's the bestest), and has been joined in the ranks of my quotation books by The World According to Mister Rogers: Important Things to Remember, which was on my list of must have's. Yes, throw in the assorted CD's and DVD's (although, I was terribly excited to receive Ellen DeGeneres' Here and Now HBO special on DVD...she's so damn funny, and I got to see her both times she toured in the area, so this is a reminder of a great time that was had), the Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture DVD game, and even a real, honest to goodness Charlie in the Box from Rankin Bass's "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer," and that about sums up the gift exchange between my friends and I. More importantly, though, was that as usual, we had a blast on Christmas Eve night, just hanging out, playing some games, and having a few drinks. In the meanwhile, there has been lots o' goings on since our very own G.I. Joe (a.k.a. Jeff) is home for a few weeks before shipping off to Iraq. The Suz, Jeff, and I went to see the new Lord of the Rings: Return of the King yesterday, and it was spectacular. I shall now retreat to bed, and then, return at some point within the next few days to post before this vacation is over. *sigh* And to all, a good night. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 2:19:00 AM |
