Went shopping today. I ended up getting Caity a boxset that has A Little Princess, The Secret Garden, and Anne of Green Gables in it. It even comes with a little locket. I don't know if she'll have any interest in them, but they're books I enjoyed, so she damn well better think they're fantastic! And I got her The Secret School by Avi. Sitting right next to that book was The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, which was one of my favorite books, but my mom made me get rid of it when we moved to Vancouver, so I picked that up for myself, and maybe if she's nice to me, I'll let Caity read it. I also picked up a couple of Doctor Who books. Wetworld, which I heard was good. And Independence Day, a Seven and Ace novel. For all I know it could be total shit, but it's Seven and Ace, so I bought it.

I have a sickness. I am physically incapable of going into a bookstore and not buying anything. I went to Barnes and Noble with my mom and sisters because Caity was doing this book thing where if she read 8 books she got 1 for free. I wasn't planning on buying anything, but the books were just there. And then they were in my hand and then I was buying them. I'm not sure how it happened. Anyway, I managed to pick up Twilight by Stephanie Meyer (now my flist can leave me alone ;)), a Doctor Who book The Last Dodo by Jaqueline Rayner (Martha!), The first volume of The Sandman (I'm not sure why I don't own these already. I remember borrowing the first couple from a friend, but then I moved and never finished the series), and The Areas of my Expertise by one Mr. John Hodgman (I was quite pleased that the first page I turned to had a Doctor Who picture on it). I feel kind of guilty. I really shouldn't be spending my money on books, but they're all shiny and new and smell so booky. I couldn't resist.

Please to be noting that it is kind of embarrassing if you are looking at Doctor Who books and your phone goes off when your phone makes TARDIS noises.

My sister just came in my room and found me listening to her Panic! At the Disco CD. Then I had to admit I also stole her Fall Out Boy CD. *shakes fist* Damn you bandslash! I feel shame. But not that much.

Aww. Neil Patrick Harris is on Jeopardy right now... He WON! YAY NEIL!

Was anyone else annoyed by the lack of caps in the questions? I was, but I was also to lazy to change it, so maybe I shouldn't complain.


From this weeks fannish5

What are the five coolest gadgets, in any fandom?

1. Shoe phone (Get smart) - When I was a kid I loved Get Smart. I thought the shoe phone was the coolest thing ever.

2. Sonic Screwdriver (Doctor Who) - "Have you never been bored? Never had a long night? Never had a lot of cabinets to put up?"

3. Magic Wand (Harry Potter) - Few things are cooler than an actual magic wand.

4. Puddlejumper (SGA) - They might be like Winnebagos in space, they might not even actually count as a gadget, but they are pretty damn cool.

5. Holodeck (Star Trek) - Again, I don't know if it counts as a gadget, but the holodeck is one of the coolest things EVER.


PS: Is it just me or does Chris Matthews have the worst laugh ever? It's horrifying
ETA: HEE! Not two seconds after I posted this, Keith did a whole montage of the laugh. We are obviously soulmates.
