Oh, I should have mentioned

I'm still available for condo talks and such, bluechromis. Guess I kind of ranted yesterday... but LJ (at least as defined by my own journal and friends page) isn't the problem here at work. So don't worry about trying to leave me alone or anything. :)

I got a fan letter this morning from a mid-20s guy in Texas who saw my website. He says I've renewed his faith in the female spirit. I'm not sure how, but he managed to say this without sounding like a total freak, more just sweet. I suppose all the wedding/husband talk scares off most of the real freaks these days...

Joyful book news

Kushiel's Avatar is out in paperback! Yessss... now I know what I'll be reading on the long, long flight west this fine New Year's Day. :)

I was thinking of picking up that along with Gibson's Pattern Recognition, which everyone says is really good and sounds to me a bit like Connie Willis's Bellwether. But I'm not exactly feeling rich right now, since that damn deposit check was indeed cashed on Friday. I have like $600 in the bank and I owe HLM $1700 of that. *snergle* I guess we'll see how I feel when actually in the bookstore.
