When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes.

Happy April Fools’ Day! Hope you don’t get slapped by any fish. (In France, today is called Poisson d’Avril: April Fish. You’re supposed to stick paper fish on a person’s back and laugh at them all day, or give them a little chocolate fish. Those weird French.)
Also, as you see by the picture, Jim Butcher’s new Dresden Files book, Small Favor, comes out today. Normally, I would come in a little late to work, having run by Borders when it opens at 9. But the Borders I normally go to had an underground water main break at the end of February. 18 inches of water on the first floor (which is where the sci-fi/fantasy section is, sob), enough that it buckled the floorboards. So it’s been out of commission for a while, which is SO SAD. I’m having Borders withdrawal. Not all hope is lost, though. There is a Barnes and Noble nearby, and a Waldenbooks in the mall. However, I have a 40% off coupon for Borders/Waldenbooks, so I don’t want to go to B&N. But the Waldenbooks doesn’t open until 10. Woe. So I have to wait until after work to get the book. I guess I’ll deal. It’s just a book. *goes off and cries, especially since she forgot her lunch today*
Of course, once I finally get the book, that means that the afghan, which currently has ALL 64 FREAKING SQUARES crocheted and two whole sections sewn up, will have to wait. I will finally have a large project to show off! If Mike’s cat doesn’t claim it all as her own, of course…
