We're all in the mood for a melody; And you've got us feelin' alright

Last night: Drinks with Cas at Einstein's. Very Remeniscent of POETS or 36 back in town. Coursairing around Chapter's like bees in a newly found garden, searching for books with which to nose into in the coming weeks. She picked up Maurie, I nothing, for I had forgotten my magic money, but returning today....

Ender's Shadow - Orson Scott Card

A Time to Kill - John Grisham

Mort - Terry Pratchett (I saw an amateur adaptation of this book as a play last year with Iris, and I must say that Death is my favorite Pratchett Character, and I've never read Mort. If you feel the same, Pickup "Hogfather", it's excellent).

The Corporation - Joel Bakan. I've seen the movie, but not read the book. The movie was good, I expect the book will be also.

I doubt I'll burn through them all by May, but we shall see. I felt kinda crappy this morning, (Who gets home at 2 am and gets up at 7 anyway on a Sunday?), But I went out with my Dad for Breakfast, and perused Home Depot for a while, and it turns out he's always wanted a Jaguar, but wouldn't go to the dealership with me because he's afraid if he finds out he can get one within his price range (And after a look on the net, he definately can), then inevitably he will get one, because a McQuarrie trait is to understand that money has no value in of itself, and is simply a means with which to enjoy ourselves and buy things we want, and we do so, and don't worry about it.

There's always more money, there aren't always more nights of smiling and laughing, and sunday afternoons feeling the wind in your hair (or in his case, hairs *smirk*) driving around in a car you've always wanted.

It's life baby. Weird how having a bath (One of the ways in which I am sterotypically a girl, if any of you were wondering when the hell I would get around to doing that quiz you've all been passing out) can change your perspective.

Things worth having, and people worth being with are worth working for, in different senses of the term. I'm just fortunate enough to be able to do in ways that I enjoy on their own right.

Oh perusing the Home Depot, what a pass time, it's like going to the mall just better. Even has an included food court, most of the time.
