bookS

My mother gave me a couple boxes of paperbacks to take to Half Price Books. They gave me $10 for them, so I bought a couple books. One was Lovers & Murderers by Vladimir Paral. It happens to be the novel Professor Cravens was translating the summer we went to Prague. It even has a signature from him in the front cover, to someone named Sara. I wonder, I wonder. I also picked up Spring Snow by Mishima, The Blue Lantern by Victor Pelevin and Waiting: True Confessions of a Waitress by Debra Ginsberg.

Tonight we saw Stardust, and it was wondrous. This is a movie you should see. It's been a long time since I heard a fairy tale that I loved. Gaiman does such amazing things with his stories, and I was quite delighted with the film adaptation of his story. Cheers to you, good sir.

In less happy news, my crown came off again. I am too tired to be hysterical about it, but my mouth hurts and I can't eat. To the dentist tomorrow, a prospect even more dreadful than work.
