shadesong and I (along with yunatwilight and, for a few minutes, Elayna) got to meet texmorgan last night! Yay! He and his girlfriend were vacationing in Boston, and hit H20Town before heading out. We chatted for a couple of hours and had a great time. Yay for more nifty NYC folks!
2. Elayna spent the evening at a Lemony Snicket party at the library. Pizza was eaten, and she won a handful of Hardy Boys books.
3. Have I mentioned how much I adore our library? They have more books from Cemetery Dance, Subterranean Press, Pyr, Prime, and Nightshade than I've seen at any other library (although, admittedly, the Atlanta libraries are my basis for comparison). As I've said to 'song any number of times, if our local branch were a bookstore, we'd be in the poorhouse.
4. Amazon's posted yet another up-to-50% off sale, this time on movie musicals. This one includes the Rodgers and Hammerstein Collection (as well as the individual movies), West Side Story, All That Jazz, Guys and Dolls, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It also includes the 1968 edition of The Producers (someone might need to mention to Amazon that it's not, technically, a musical), and, in a move that makes me extremely happy, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo! Yes, the sequel with the greatest title ever is available for $7.49!
4.5 In our household, we'll add "Electric Boogaloo" to the title of any sequel, if possible.
5. Ever wonder what the odds are of so many spices beginning with the third letter of our alphabet? The good folks at Language Log have worked it out.
