Ooh

[jack]

Ooh, boooks. PSA: I am *not* a materialistic book whore.

I have acquired:

The Hallowed Hunt (Bujold's latest Challion!)
Several Greg Egan
Atrocity archives (second hand, still on its way)
Wacom graphics tablet. Grpahical representation of my humours, here we come!

It all makes a surprisingly small compact package[1].

I don't think I deserve the tablet though, we may agree to make it a retrospective early christmas present from family, on account of if I keep buying cool and unnescessary stuff myself there'll be nothing anyone can get for me if they want to.

[1] Typo of the week: passage. Ick :)

*peeks* Yes. Sorry, it would be nice to have yours, but I didn't see any point waiting -- someone will certainly read that, and it's quite nice to have new books when they're good ones.

Don't not come to cambridge, though, we can offload it on someone who will appreciate it :) As a matter of fact, I'm going to take next week as holiday, mostly roudn cam, so if you were travelling *soon* that would work out really well :)

I'm going to London to see Sound of Music on the 23rd. But I think whether I tried to fit anything else in with that might depend on how much work I've achieved beforehand.

What I'm doing this weekend remains very uncertain. (btw, has your phone number changed since you came to Edinburgh?)

Ooh, singing nuns! I'm such a softie :)

No, my phone hasn't changed *ever* :) I'm very proud :) If you're coming through I'll likely but not certainly be free on no notice (but can still do crashspace if necessary), and can arrange something a couple of days before if your plans crystalise.

no, wait, my *phone* has. Just not the number :-)

Oh, sorry. The physrep of my phone has changed a few times (shiny!), but the interface as exposed to the public has remained backwards compatible and essentially the same.
