incandescens | how sweet the filled library of an iPad sounds

I keep on taking advantage of sales and loading roleplaying pdfs onto my iPad. Ah well, if I ever get stuck on a desert island, I'll appreciate it when I manage to catch up on my reading. (Until the power runs out, of course.)

Nearly finished current scarf-in-process-of-knitting. Yay! Next up - another scarf! (What can I say, I like scarves.) Must review chevron stitch pattern.

Christmas lights are all over town. As usual, I think this is far too early. Mince pies and similar entities have invaded the supermarkets - well, anywhere they're selling food, really - and as usual, I'm trying to avoid buying any till we actually reach Advent or December. It's a struggle.

Also, it being the 15th today, 2 months to go till the release of The Invisible Library. Wow.

"Not from this contract," I said. It had actually said until death release you from this oath. The Folly - putting the old-fashioned back into good policing.
