Great Book Purge: POSTSCRIPT

I've just returned from the post office up the hill, having mailed books for ying_ko_4, _nimisha_, temaranight, bonniers, juniperblue, dollydelusion, head58, and maps_or_guitars. I sent them via Media Mail, and for most of you it was somewheres around $3.00, so I won't bother you for a payback. (Sorry, bonniers, yours was $8.00...if you want to do, say, $5.00 and call it even, that's fine. My paypal is my yahoo email. ;) ) You should be getting them sometime next week!

I'm still yet to mail out the books for the following:

kaisilverwolf
qahawthorne
queenoftheskies
urnesha
liret
abennettstrong
astres
dragovianknight

Main reason they didn't go out today? I ran out of box packing materials. *headdesk* I'll get some of that this weekend, and most likely mail the boxes this coming Wednesday after work. That, and I ran out of room in my cart . ;)

BTW: queenoftheskies and abennettstrong, if you could please email me your physical addresses? I can't seem to find them anywhere!! I'm at joncwriter at yahoo. I could have sworn I had them somewhere...*confused*.

Thanks again, and hope you enjoy! :)

[Weekend]

ITEM: Our neighbor across the street needs to get a life. At all hours of the day, we see him standing at the window, staring out, and talking or playing with his phone (and hey, surprise, he's doing that right now!). One of these days I'm just going to stare at him until he gets the point and steps away from the window for once.

ITEM: Most errands done today! I dropped off packages while Emm went food shopping, laundry is done, and a list is being made for our trip down to Target tomorrow.

ITEM: Yay! The scaffolding outside our windows facing Bay Street are now gone! They took them down earlier yesterday while we were at work and moved them further down to the other end of our building. We can see again! And I have to add that I'm amused by the fact that the workers did a cursory wiping down of the windows before they tore down. :p

ITEM: Did some major computer cleaning using MalwareBytes Anti-Malware cleaner, which got some really good reviews on C|Net. It found a good amount of crap that CCleaner, McAfee, and everything else missed. Also updated IE to version 8, which seems to be working okay at the moment. I think I'll keep Firefox for now, just to have an extra browser if something craps out on me again.

ITEM: NINE OPERAS. Did I say NINE? Six of them on consecutive weekends? Yes. Yes, I did. Verdi's Il Trovatore, Puccini's Il Trittico, Mozart's The Abduction from the Seraglio, Donizetti's Daughter of the Regiment, Strauss' Salome, Verdi's Otello, Gounod's Faust, Puccini's The Girl of the Golden West, and Wagner's Die Walkure. The entirety of the 2009-10 Opera season, and we just bought tickets for all of them in a package deal. Cuz we're cultured n' stuff. Just thought I'd bring up that fact, in case you see me whimpering in the corner somewhere at some point, twitching and humming some aria off-key. :p

ITEM: As usual, today's been one of those days when the weather is alternately warm, cold, rainy, cloudy, foggy, clear, sunny, and, for about five minutes, everything in between. Gotta love San Francisco springs!


More later...I go write now...
