no power in the 'verse can stop me

Just ordered the Serenity novelization and Visual companion that came out today. The total was under $25, so I also bought myself a Foxtrot book, since those always make me giggle. Figured Serenity merch is so few and far between, better scoop it up while I can!

my two crazy!early days this week are done now. Tomorrow I babysit starting at 10:30am until whenever. I'm actually a bit excited since I haven't seen Sky or Snow in about a month, what with vacations and all. Sky's first day of Kindergarden is Thursday, so it will be interesting to see if he's excited or what. I meant to run over to Target and get him Darth Vader pencils but I completely forgot. Maybe I'll check for them over the weekend. I should be picking up a few CDs tomorrow too, so yay for free music!

crapload of books came in for me today at work - book 4 of Y: The Last Man along with some other random graphic novels. Plus a real BOOK! Yes, can you believe it, no pictures what so ever! Everything's Illuminated....yes, I did order it because of the Elijah Wood movie coming out...but still, it's a real book! I hope I can handle it.

I'm back on the Sims 2. Yeah, I know you'd though I quit it. So did I. But for some reason, I had a hankering to boss those little people around. So I shipped a bunch of the teens off to college and have been playing with them. Today I worked on getting one of the other teens grades up so she could go to college. Now she has more scholarships than any of my other Sims! I'm psyched, she might not have to live in the dorms! I'll probably send her off to the university tomorrow.

anyhoo, I think I'm gonna get to bed - this whole "waking up early" thing has really made me sleepy at night time! It's so weird!

Ooh! Let me know how the book is! I'm curious...I should pick it up from the library! Not that I need more books to read, but...still!

One of my little Sims just grew up into a teenager and actually WANTS to be anally probed! No joke, he wants to get the "ive been abducted by aliens" scholarship! So now it's my duty to make sure he's out every night looking at the telescope. (is there a trick to getting them abducted? the only people who've been abducted on my game were the three guys in the Curious family.)

I heard you bought WoW. AD's copy came today. I'm afraid that if I look directly at the screen, it will be all over for me! I must hide!

I was trying to decide whether to buy it or not, but Whedonesque had a comment that the author is a huge firely fan so he knows these characters. There's a huge chunk of the first chapter up on Amazon.com too...not sure if it's spoilerly or not, looked like it might just be a retelling of the 'battle of serenity valley'.

but believe me, I will let you know what I think. :-)
