Cheap books with full price goodness!

I just purchased the first book I plan to read in 2010: Robota, by Doug Chiang and Orson Scott Card. Hardcover, purchased for three bucks at Big Lots this evening. Woohoo! Gorgeous illustration, which is the reason I snagged it in the first place. Can't wait to read...

Also hardcover, also three bucks, Artist to Artist: 23 Major Illustrators Talk to Children About Their Art for hubs!monkey. I've been trying to gently prod him back to his art (he's quite a talented illustrator), so far with not much success. But! He seemed pleased with the book, so it goes in the "win" column. :-)

Missed 'Heroes' last night because I AM A DOOFUS. I kept thinking there was something I wanted to DVR, but nothing came to mind. Saw something this morning while at work and went, argh! Heroes!!! Luckily for me, the episode was all loaded up on Prime Time on Demand this evening, just waiting for me. I loooooooove DVR and ondemand channels. And if you're curious...yes, I started watching 'Heroes' because I fell in love with the fabulous Zachary Quinto as reboot!Spock. I love Sylar!!! He needs to be in every episode, and he needs to have at least thirty minutes of screen time. Yessssssss.

Rounding out my Post o' Random... Hmmmm. I forgot. Edited to add: Now I remember.

The hubs and I have been hanging quietly all evening, him with crossword puzzles and WWII movies, me with the laptop. The kitties are very peacefully snoozing. All is calm, all is bright.

So...I'm about to plug in the iPod, and I wondered how long it would take for hubs to suddenly find a million and one things to discuss. Hahahaha! Twenty seconds! He just asked me a crossword clue. Aiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Okay, the iPod is on pause, and he's said nothing further. I'm about to hit 'Play'. We'll see what happens.

Stabbing's bad, right?

Thanks for the link, woman! Did you watch? What was it about???

What I got on demand certainly wasn't two hours long, but it had 01/04/10 as the air date, so I'm a little confused. Unless...they're loading it up as two separate episodes, and haven't loaded the second one yet? Hmmmmm.

[gilded_lady]

Of course I watched, woman! I'm the HBIC of that community there XD

Let's just say that you'll really want to watch that second hour.

Unf. ZQ PORN it is, even if his part of the story made me go o.O?

Does HBIC stand for Head Bitch? Just curious. :-D Now I will certainly join for sure.

I'm excited for the second hour, and I'm baffled that they only loaded up the first hour in the OnDemand qeue. Very strange, the bastards.

Head Bitch In Charge :D

And it probably only loaded up one episode because technically it's two episodes so they were probably on two separate airings? IDK.

C'mon, you know you're impressed that I got the first part right. ;-)

Woohoo! Nevermind...it's playing on G4 AS WE SPEAK, so I'm DVRing. Missed the first half hour, but it's the episode I watched earlier. Hooray! I'll get the part I missed! I am officially pleased.

Howdy! *waves* It's good to be back...again. Again. :-D

Oh that hubs of yours...you know, if I come home from work and he's watching something he scowls at me saying I'm too loud, yet if I'm watching something that I have DVR'd he will come in and start talking to me...and I pause and he leaves and as soon as I start it up he will come in again...Oh sorry! one more thing. GRRR, such a MAN!

Yes! Hubs!monkey's will pause what he's watching, but all the while his fingers are TWITCHING over the "pause" button, just waiting for the absolute split second I'm finished so he can start his show again. AND, God forbid I should take too long 'cause he'll ask very politely, "Is this a long story?" Asshole. ;-p

I do that too! It seems Mr. K never has a word to say to me until I get involved with writing or absorbed in a book. Then I can't shut him up. :) I time him too, just for fun.

Yes! He's like the chattiest little girl in the world as soon as I pick up a book or turn on some music. Aiiiiiiiiiiii!
