Miscellany and amusement

[kyrielle]

1) We got our photos done (portrait-style) and will be picking up prints and a CD of the photos soon. They are ready, just have to set a time and go get them (it's a whopping 3-4 blocks from here to there, not paying shipping).

2) My dwarf rogue is now level 29. I've been playing her this week because I feel safer AFK'ing someone who can stealth, rather than my gnome mage who is still stuck at 61.

3) I can now download online audio books with my library card from either of the two county libraries I use. Alas, they chose the same service, so I don't get any additional selection of audio books due to variance between services. But I can now "check out" more audio books than I could possibly listen to - which is good, because you can't "check in" the books before they expire, and some turn out to be total duds.

4) Babe has been thoroughly cute today, curling up in the beanbag chair, and later on my slippers. Apple has been cute on top of the cat stand and flopped on a folding chair (or under it, sometimes).

5) I got a card today in the mail from an old college friend whom I haven't spoken with in years. They seem to be coming out of the woodwork lately! Well, okay, not quite literally, but there was some element of that in the C&G reunion last summer, too.

Who from?!?!? Who from?!?!?

*looks at Laura in cheerful anticipation*

Not sure if you knew her or not. I know Dormouse did. Heather A.

Sadly, no. Was just hoping for another name to put on the 2010 reunion list, and maybe that it was someone I knew.

Ah, well.

(Yes, I am still keeping the plans for the 2010 reunion in the back of my head. Unless I hear differently, I'm still planning on herding cats again starting summer 2009.)

Sowwy. :/ I don't remember if she was C&G even after your time, but I don't think she was.

And yay for plans, and things to look forward to!

She was not C&G. She was slightly afraid of C&G. :p

A note on the Overdrive deal... Your two libraries may well have the same Overdrive books but they may not, too. Id you search via http://search.overdrive.com/ you can see what libraries have what books. It's kind of interesting to see who is 'buying' what from Overdrive.

I do envy your ability to have more than 10 hold requests!

[kyrielle]

That is interesting. Both are through Library2Go, which uses Overdrive, but it doesn't require you to log in in order to search the books.
