I attempted to sleep late this morning. I was foiled by a greyhound that really needed to go outside Right Now. I think I might be teaching her bad habits, since she would cry for attention at approximately the same interval as the snooze button on my alarm clock. Though she is a dog of very little brain, she has apparently figured out how best to wake me up.
It's a good thing she's cute.
Downwood and I shopped for a while - he actually found a copy of the Diablo II expansion at GameStop. I was disappointed in JoAnn's lack of selection of black chiffon, but got some of what I'm going to need for the outfit. The used bookstore is having a sale (10% off new, 25% off used) on everything until Monday and since they're next door to the comic store, we even got to hit up Free Comic Book Day.
And then we came back and played Diablo until we made it through the first four quests of Act I. Yes, we're geeks, but it works for us. So does edamame and Babylon 5 on DVD.
I also finally got a chance to read a book that has been taunting me for two days. Nurk is a children's book by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ursulav. It's wonderfully cute, charming, and could be picked out of a lineup by anyone familiar with Ursula's snark, wit, and phrasing. I would love to read this book out loud to a small child and then turn them back over to their parents for the subsequent explanations.
I could wish that I lived closer to the author - or went to the same conventions - to get her to sign my copy for me and maybe fangirl just a little bit. But, instead, I'm going to point to where you can purchase the book yourself and spread the joy that way. It's even on sale! Go, purchase, and enjoy!
