Good news!
Aug. 6th, 2009 09:04 pmI got a new SmartMedia card for my camera. I can now take a grand total of 36 photos at once!
I also finally found my copy of Eileen Gunn's short story collection! I'm been fussing over this ever since I decided to read all the short stories I can. It was in one of the many piles of books littering my room. This one was two columns deep and atop the boxes I store my various spiritual paraphenalia in. I had the burning desire to cover my altar with candles, so I had to access the boxes. The pile of books snuggled into my beanbag chair, and remain there even now. My eyes passed over the title, "Stable Strategies," which I assumed was one of the many random poly sci books I find in the free book box. On top was![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
difrancis's "The Black Ship." Now, my subconscious brain put a few things together:
1) The thought, "I'm pretty sure I bought The Black Ship at the U Bookstore the same time I bought Eileen Gunn's book."
2) The word, "Gunn" in big yellow letters on the same spine as "Stable Strategies."
All this led me to say out loud, "I wonder if Eileen's book is in that pile."
This, in turn, led me to actually look closer and feel like an idiot.
