I received an unexpected gift card today. So sweet, the givers! So lovely, the givers! So greedy, am I, because I used it all on myself.
What was my haul, you ask? Why, let me tell you!
Books
- Anansi Boys - Neil Gaiman: I've been a fan of Gaiman since I happened upon the book he wrote with Terry Prachet, Good Omens, way back in 1996. Anansi Boys is a sequel, of sorts, to the brilliant American Gods.
- Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way - Bruce Campbell: Oh, Bruce. One of my most enduring celebrity crushes. One day, remind me to tell you about the correspondence that we had when I was in my 3rd year of university. Such a hilarious, excellent man.
- Party of One: The Loner's Manifesto - Anneli Rufus: I am a loner. I need a manifesto. I am also lazy, and gleeful that someone else has already done the work for me.
Music
- Written In Rock: The Rick Springfield Anthology - Rick Springfield: Okay, when I talk about enduring crushes, this one is really the pinnacle of them all. My first rockshow? Rick Springfield. CNE. 1982. Yes, I was 8 years old. And I have never stopped loving him. And dude? He's returning to General Hospital on December 2nd!
- Live It Out - Metric: intelligent rock music that you can shake your ass to. Love, love, love. And also, love.
DVDs
- Dead Like Me - Season 2: Dead Like Me is one of my special favourite shows. Special favourite! So, of course, it was cancelled after its second season. That makes me sad. I now have to watch Mandy Patinkin on Criminal Minds and Callum Blue on Related. It's not the same. I may also be spying on Ellen Muth's EBay activity in hopes of scoring some of the stellar pieces of George's wardrobe for cheap that she sometimes, apparently, offers up for sale. Who knew?
- Arrested Development - Season 2: Arrested Development. Need I say more?
Confidential to Rose & Kate: Serenity is being released on DVD on December 20!

An unexpectedly large amount? I was flabberghasted, then delighted, and I might have clapped my hands together in glee.
I shall endeavour to bring in the first season of Dead Like Me in to work on Monday. I will make Kate our DVD mule. I hope she doesn't mind.
Gormery-schmormery! I was mad when I got home and started watching! I was delighted, however, that the cowboy followed Lisa home and made her continue to work. But that lady is a trainwreck amoungst all of the trainwrecks in that house. I really hope she gets the boot.
PS: I was also quite fond of hearing Alison screech, through her tears, "I WANT TO LIIIIIIIIIIVE!"
