Zombie Brains are on the menu!

My brain isn't working today. It's still asleep. I went to bed at a decent hour last night and everything.

I scored a copy of Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell last night for $7. Granted, there was a tear in the book jacket, but the text block was in excellent condition so I took it home with me. I've wanted to read this novel since it came out, but long-time Gentle Readers know I'm cheap. Heh. Honestly, if you just wait, the things you want will fall into your lap for little or no money. This weekend, Baby G and I got a lovely like-new dresser from the dumpster that now graces our living room. It holds the TV, the stereo, and all of our dvds, videos, and games. FREE. Woo! All we had to do was carry it home and dust it off. I'll post pics soon.

Speaking of Baby G, she and I are traveling to see Gloria Steinem speak tonight. We're very excited! I even dug out an old issue of Bust that had her on the cover in the hopes that she might sign it. She probably won't, but it can't hurt to try, right? Another nice part of the evening will be my chance to see my brother, Prophet, and my "younger twin" and fellow kitten poster-lover, Ackkapoo. (Inside joke, folks. Sorry.) I'll give a full report on Steinem's State o' the World tomorrow. She's 72 years old and still going strong. Wow.
