books, and THE movie, looming

I am lying in bed still surrounded by books.

Tomorrow... after the loan appointment.. after going to kinkos... after turning in the paper... after picking up Moomin...

I will lie in bed with the juicy delicious set of books that my strange soul sister Iris sent me! They are looking at me.. they are enticing me... I have heard the books singing each to each... Drool. I have been thinking of them all week and they came in the mail today just in time to give me an extra boost of anticipation.

New books! Mysterious books I've never heard of! I can't wait.

I am off in half an hour to see Return of the King. Moomin is at squid's house being babysat, probably watching Kiki with Iz and Leelo.

Thanks to Davee for organizing this amazing event renting the fanciest possible theater, the entire theater, and filling it with nice people!

My paper, while not 100% done, is 99% done. Just a print and proofread away.

More than the books I cling to the idea of all my nice friends as I emerge from my cave and think about joining the real world again.
