Bibliophiliac Attack Part π: The Primordial Ass

Dear Diary: Today was the the Best Day Ever! Because it was the day of the big GBIA used book sale, and the day of the humongous Snoopy School Flea Market, *and* Free Comic Book Day! I am so broke..

I bought twenty-three books, 3 33 1/3 records, a Princess Leia figurine, a Sesame Street plate just like one I had as a kid, a reproduction Centennial Exposition souvenir kerchief, and a mosquito-netting hat. And, since I have the right connections, also a complete set of 23 Free Comic Book Day comics, and the Jack O'Neill action figure. Yay!

Highlights of the books include: Easy Vietnamese, 1966, including "many phrases suitable for combat situations"; The Lives and Times of Archy and Mehitabel, 1950, a three-in-one omnibus; and Wicked Words, with over 400 pages of bad language. And only two sf novels, wow.

Bibliophilia is a *disease*. Sigh. And now I have to go try to do homework instead of reading them all at once.

Bibliophilia is a *disease*.

My husband says this and I am starting to agree.

It is, it really is. Dangerous. At least I usually stick to the cheap stuff!

I don't know! Maybe! I don't have class Friday and I need to figure out what's up with finals, but! Yes! Flowers for Mom! And stuff!

I'm going home for Mother's Day next weekend, probably Saturday morning, and since Sally's birthday is Tuesday the 16th, I thought we might celebrate that at the same time. I'm bringing her presents home anyway. (;

Alas I have an exam on Saturday at 8:00 AM, so I fear I shall not grace your domicile this week.

Boo! Tell Mom I will probably be home Friday night, then.

BLS1 should be here in only a few more weeks, though, and then we can have a marathon!
