Wherein there are many exclamation points.

1. It's September! Does this mean I can officially crave pumpkins and pumpkin-related things?
   
   
2. Go forth and prompt/write at the Doctor/Rose Fixathon! (3 pages of prompts already!)
   
   
3. Nothing really huge to say about Leverage's "The King George Job," but ( Read more... )
   
   
   
4. Holiday weekend! 3.5 days off! And my parents are coming down. I know this because I got an email from my mom saying she was bringing a turkey to grill. Okay! :D
   
   
5. ETA: I've been looking at Kindles and clones, but am not convinced about any of them. What I'd actually like to do is to read fics in book form since I really don't like reading on a monitor. But I have seen a Kindle in action and it looks pretty good - almost like reading on paper. The problems are numerous though: the tiny Kindle looks too tiny; the big Kindle apparently is a bit weighty to hold for long periods; the big Kindle doesn't have wifi; PDF files are doable but can't reduce/enlarge text like book files... Why haven't magic books been made yet?

I need to know things!

I've been watching older British mysteries, and the old money system confuses me a LOT. Like...when someone says something like "6 and 7" (or any two numbers - "x and x") what does that mean?

I looked for some sort of guide on the old system, but a site I found (supposedly for schoolchildren) made me all cross-eyed.

(Also, I'm annoyed at myself. I meant to drop DVDs in the mail today, but since I didn't, the new Marple DVDs won't come back to me until after the holiday weekend. BAH.)
