letterblade...simply because it's currently providing me with less entertainment than my new Netflix subscription. DS9, here I come! Also got a chance to watch Caretaker for the first time since it aired; it was interesting, seeing what I remembered and what I didn't, seeing how different Doc was when he was first activated, the extra love they gave Chakotay's name before they got lazy with the pronunciation and stopped giving it that exotic tang, Torres in leather boots (mmmmmmmmmmmmm.......
*gets sidetracked*
...what? *halo*
Also placed my first actual Lab order yesterday. Holiday Moon too tempting. Plus bottles of Empyreal Mist and Shanghai, since I'm going through those the fastest, and a pack of imps, including a fresh imp of Fallen, to test about the decay, and some I've been looking for for ages on the comm without success (Dublin! whee!), though I forgot Yew-Trees and I've been kicking myself.
Have decided that every payday (read: Thursday) I shall buy myself an interesting-looking book with my employee discount, guilt-free. But if I don't finish it by next payday, I don't get another one. First purchase? The Glass Bees by Ernst Jünger. Dystopian near-future sci-fi from the sixties, highly literary and philosophical in focus and style, about a job interview. That's right. Dystopian lit about a job interview. I'm kinda glad I didn't read this when I was still job-hunting. o.O
Full review when I'm finished, if I have the wherewithall.
