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.

I've got the final season of Angel in my Netflix queue. I need to see it again, but I'll agree...it should have been Spike with his own show and not Angel. *yawns*

You are so right. Angel is just too...boring and broody and low-key. Spike would have been an awesome force, energetic, snarly, delicious, ready to bugger at any moment...oh, sorry, got carried away there.
