1. played Guitar Hero and still suck at it, but Through the Fire and Flames is an absolute blast;
2. bought John Hodgman’s More Information Than You Require, and it’s proving to be full of things I didn’t need to know, which means I got exactly what I paid for. I was really looking for his first book, but Kino supposedly had it on the Mass Media shelf - instead of, say, Humour, or just plain Fiction - and after much effort locating the damn shelf there were all these other books that I spent the past 3, 4 years on and would rather not have seen for, well, forever so that was that. Then Borders’ one copy, which I passed up two weeks ago because it was a little dirty and I hoped to find a hardcover, was now in the dreaded Bargain bin, section, patch of carpet where crappy cookbooks and outdated travel guides are stacked, the place where unappreciated volumes go and are lost until they turn up mangled a year later and put back in Bargains at half the previously halved price;
3. had meatballs at Ikea.
