Books

Finally received the last of my Amazon junk today. An order of 5 books and 1 cd came in 4 packages. -___-. They claim it was for faster service. Two weeks is not fast service, and two packages came on the same day.

I buy books faster than I buy shelving. This is problematic.

It's weird, I've been having such book-luck at the used-book and thrift stores lately. (Perhaps I am 3 or so years behind other people's reading habits?) I went through a dry spell a while ago. Nothing to read, nothing looked interesting. I re-read favorites and forced myself through some classics, and now life is a book fountain and I'm splashing around in it.

I burned myself out on the subject of food history. I'll have to find a new non-fiction go-to. Get me to a library!

Don't be that guy

Anyone remember the movie PCU? Tried so hard to a grunge Animal House. Anyway, in the movie Jeremy Piven lectures his buddy on concert attire. "You know how at concerts there's always that one guy in the band's t-shirt. Don't be that guy." My friend and I have abused that line ever since.

Oddly though, I have the exact opposite sentiment online. For some reason, it drives me batty when someone posts a PicoftheDay in a comm, and their icon isn't relevant to the comm. It shouldn't bug me--- icon space is short for everyone-- but it does.
