This icon cracks me up...

I got some new books this week, and didn't have to pay a cent. My boss at work is moving across the country for a new gig. So not only is she leaving us, but she gave me a bunch of books dealing with Witchcraft in Colonial America. There are four of them, and they all look to be good reads. I have a ton of reading I want to do, but I will get around to these eventually.

My buddy Steve got me Christopher Moore's LAMB. He got me the version that looks like a bible, with fake leather cover and gold leaf and everything. It's pretty nice. Oddly, despite my love of Chris Moore's work, this is the first book of his that I own. I haven't had a ton of extra money since I discovered him. I need to at least pick up the Pine Cove novels. They are so damn good.

In family news, my Aunt Barb reminded me that she is my Godmother. I don't know how I could have forgotten such an important thing, but I did. This makes me feel much better about talking to her and not my mom. After all, in my mom's absence...well, you know what I mean.
I'm also trying to figure out how to see my bro's wedding pictures on Pictage. His wife assures me that they are up, but I can't see them. I'm very bummed to have missed the wedding in the first place, so I really want to see the pics. I hope I can figure out what the hassle is so I can view them soon.

Did my beloved Obama pick a running mate yet? I just got my bumper sticker in the mail.
I'm just waiting for my button to arrive.

I stayed up until 3am last night watching a special about the Planet of the Apes movies. Now I'm in the mood to watch them again. Luckily, I have some pristine VHS copies of all five films. Sadly, a lot of my fave VHS movies are too crappy to watch anymore, Salem's Lot being a prime example of this. I hear the DVD transfer of Salem's Lot is teh suck. So I don't know whether or not I'm going to bother buying it.

Recently, I switched to pre-natal vitamins. My doc said they are the best vitamins out there (although if I could afford it, I'd buy Solgar Omniums) and that I should take them despite my desire to remain childless. Only thing is, since I've switched to them, I've felt really, really tired. I already take beta blockers, which make me tired, so I'm not into this really. I'm wondering if I should switch back, even though I've already bought 2 big bottles of pre-natals. Advice?

Oh, Lamb is so amazingly ridiculously good.

Obama has not picked a VP; I signed up through a link on Facebook to get a text message when he does. I'm so not making that up. hahah I'm going crazy waiting.

Dang. I thought he was supposed to pick someone today.

*waits impatiently*

Aw crap - I have 8 gagillion crap-loads of Obama stuff I could have sent people. I've been off LJ too long to be really reading hard at people's entries. I really ought to randomly get addresses so I can mail things to people. Seriously. I've walked up and down the street with those things :-)

Wow, I didn't realize you were working on the Obama campaign.
He's so awesome.

Yes he is :-) I actually had a small Obama party that consisted of only 5 people but it was better than nothing. Only two of us are actually doing anything though :-( it's hard to get people in my neighborhood to vote though. or even to register.

I have never heard of pre-natal vitamins making someone tired. The usual complaint is that they may one constipated because of the iron in them. So I guess I am saying I don't have any advice about that, sorry.

That's cool.

I think I'm going to keep taking them. It must be something else making me tired.

Pre-natal vits don't make me tired. But depending on where you got them, you may be able to take them back for exchange and/or advice. I prefer the Rx pre=natals to the OTCs. Easier on my tummy and not so smelly.

Interesting.

I'll have to talk to the doc again.
