(a) I'm working at Runways over the break.
(b) My newest addiction is Su Doku puzzles.
(c) My wonderful mom taped all the Commander In Chief episodes for me, yippee!
(d) I've (unofficially) booked a Channel slot - the first tide in August 2007.
(e) I'm all packed and ready to move to Gainesville.
(f) Elise and I spent time together today, which was great.
(g) Christmas yielded perfume, a watch, a $50 Sports Authority gift card, lots of books, lots of DVDs, and the promise of a new laptop as a graduation present.

Being semi-inspired by Hedwig, I've just compiled a list of all 137 of the books I have in my possession at the end of 2005. (Again, I've had to exclude all accents, due to some quirk of this site, so all Spanish speakers: please forgive me.) I've owned and sold back many, many, MANY books over the years - some of which I was far too old for, but nonetheless wish I still had - but here's the list as it stands right now (reference-style books excluded). My top 25 (of the moment) are marked in italics. And yes, some are in Dutch, and a couple are in Spanish. Deal with it.
