This is me

Although I only wish I had that many books…

That was not clever

Bought Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince yesterday at lunch. Read a bit of it while actually eating said lunch, with a plan to read more that evening.

Not quite how it worked out.

I spent most of the evening footling about on the ‘net (Curse you, Boreme Dot Com), not really getting the book open until 9pm – about my normal bedtime these days.

Now, my basic spoiler-free review consists of: I didn’t stop reading until 2:40 am.

So I’m very very tired, and darnit if the CSI season 5 finale double bill isn’t on tonight. So that’s me up ’till 11… (Why yes, I am recording it. Why do you ask?)

Meanwhile, I found this cool link to TechBooksForFree.com where there’s a bunch of, well, Tech Books For Free.

Angels and Demons

Almost had something interesting yesterday – the copy of “Angels and Demons” I had bought from Tesco a couple of weeks ago as my workplace reading material turned out to have pages 165 – 197 duplicated, meaning I had a big chunk of book missing.

Today, however, the nice Tescos people replaced the book for me with a proper working copy. Yay!

However, I didn’t get a chance to read it today – appallingly bad headache, completely unaffected by paracetamol, drove me away. Currently typing this mostly with my head down, while I wait for the clock to tick down to the next time I can take my headache pills. Then it’s back to bed and a pillow over my eyes.

And…. now! G’night!
