books and more books
Yesterday Deb and I went on a quest for Pekarkova's Truckstop Rainbows. It's nominally out of print, and the Co-op hasn't gotten it for our Czech class. So we went from one Half-Price to another, stopping for donughts on the way.
At the store on Guadalupe, we found it! Hidden behind another book. We think a classmate must have found it and hidden it so they could return with the $3.50. Now it's ours. Hah. Deb is going to read it first.
I bought two other books, I just couldn't resist. The Road to Darkness by Paul Leppin, and Monsieur Venus by Rachilde. They had a big stack of Decadent stuff from Dedalus and erotica from Velvet. I wanted to buy many more. *sigh* I wish money for books would magically fall out of the sky. I need a patron to fund my book collection. If you buy me books, I'll talk intelligently about them, write papers, be witty and literate at cocktail parties, something like that.
I played with Napster for the first time yesterday. It was quite amusing. I found lots of DJ Adolf, Ivanushki International, random Russian rap music, all kinds of weirdness. When Geoff gets his machine working, he's going to make me a fun mix cd to put in my car. Lively driving music.
The sun is finally out. I think I will take a shower and go out somewhere. Maybe to St Austin's or to Metro. I think I want to walk around campus while it is empty. Maybe go to the library and get some books for free.
