meh...

I just went across the street and rented the first three discs of season one of Battlestar Galactica instead of going to the library. Various people have been hounding me to watch this forever, and this seemed like a good time to do so.

ps: it's pretty good so far, but the first episode is 3.5 hours, so be prepared to sit for a while.

Needs more books

I finished the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide Compendium a few days ago, and I'm kind of stuck with nothing fun to read right now. I finished the one book I got for xmas too. When I left Iowa City, I sold the vast majority of my books, but kept a big box of ones that were favorites of mine, or had sentimental value, but this also means that I've read each of them maybe a billion times each. I may head to Powell's in the near future to bulk up my bookshelves, or I might just head to the library and use that card I got. We'll see.

My local branch doesn't have a ton of books on hand, so I'd likely be requesting a bunch from the interlibrary loan, but if I want to read a book enough to bother requesting it, I feel like I might be better off buying it so I can keep it. I think I'll head there after work tomorrow anyway and see what they have on hand for "impulse reading".
