Just came back from the post office...

...where I have taken my first step to Global Domination Through eBay by renting a PO box. Go me.

I also grabbed my mail on the way in. The new TV Guide was there. First thing I do with TV Guide is flip it open to all of the stiff inserts and rip them out enthusiastically so that none are left to distract me from finding a listing.

These inserts are always a motley collection of "Baby Unicorns Collection by Franklin Mint" and "Collectible Wolf Plates".

Today's insert: "The greatest literature of all time...in perfect minature. Just $7.95 each."

Yes, tiny versions of classic books (in the public domain, of course) like Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, featuring "Original classic cover designs", "Rich gold-patterned covers", "Traditional stitched headbands", and "Select ivory-colored book paper". From the illustration it appears that each book is approximately two inches long.

"These great books will captivate your family".

Yes, if your family is six inches tall.

you have to believe that the guy has not aged since we met him." Eh, that's nothing some good lighting and a little makeup can't fix.

Tell that to Alan Rickman.

"Snape's how old?"

Thank goodness James obviously sees the irony of it, though I wouldn't mind seeing him in that role for a long time...mmm.

David Thewlis looks the age, but Rickman is a bit long in the tooth...though still yummy. And the voice...ah, delicious.
