public service announcement

The entire Farscape series is on sale at Amazon for $58. Since it usually costs well over $150, if you don’t have it, I’d suggest making a mad dash for it. In fact, I have a copy already and am tempted to get the US version because it’s apparently got different extras… (hat tip to Iago for the link!)

calendar sale!

In honor of the upcoming holidays, there’s a Special Sale Price on my 2010 Ireland calendar! The price has been reduced from $25 to $20.95 (which, somewhat oddly, is the lowest price I seem to be able to set it at). Everybody always needs a calendar, right?

An hour and a half ago I thought, “Hey,…

Three is the perfect number for true awfulness.) So for two very tired adults, that was somewhat trying. I tell you what, though, there’s nothing like being around teenage girls to make me grateful that I’m no longer one myself. :) Upon arriving home…

quick post from SeaTac

I am bereft of ice cream–SeaTac doesn’t appear to have an ice cream parlour of any sort, which seems to me a terrible oversight–but am possessed of a beanbag chair and a wifi connection just a few yards away from my gate, so that’s not all bad. :) A few minutes ago a man walking by said, “How are those beanbags working out for you?” and I gave him two thumbs up and said, “Pretty good!”, whereupon the woman with him said, “He got them installed here!” So I expressed…
