I was going to do the ethics course this weekend, but I didn't. There's always tomorrow, and I expect I'll tend to the AFSP on Tuesday or after I get back from Minnesota.
My new pants showed up on Saturday as expected, and of course the newest Komi Can't Communicate manga. Also, the Buckaroo Banzai vs. The World Crime League book came, and it was a surprise. I had been expecting a graphic novel, but I misread the listing on Amazon - what I got was a veritable doorstop of a book, written in the same wild style as the original BB movie novelization. Also surprising was the monthly shipment from Boca Java, which USPS had been telling me all week was going to show up Tuesday...unless those notices pertained to my incoming Barbasol razors. We shall see.
Speaking of wild style, I finished the first of John C. Wright's rewrites of the Disney Star Wars disasters, Starquest: Space Pirates of Andromeda, and it is every bit as good as those were awful. Flash Gordon meets Doc Smith, with liberated droids, psychic powers, awful weapons, mystical legends...honestly, if I hadn't read some of his other novels, I wouldn't have believed anyone could pack this much coolness into the first of twelve books. Can't wait for #2 to be released - and I see there are already books by other authors in thisExpanded Universe.
Still waiting for cash from the VA and the DoE. Still waiting for Lois to say yes/no to a visit. Also waiting for various friends in Minnesota to let me know if they'll be available for a get-together Saturday night or whenever while I'm up there.
