now if only the weather were a little warmer

Dammit: kind of hooked on The Vampire Diaries now, to the extent that I might even try to buy the first season on DVD. What can I say, I do like a show that has such a cavalier approach to killing off its characters.

New book review up: Michael Cunningham's Specimen Days. Next on my list is meant to be Schindler's Ark but instead I'm rereading the Thursday Next books. Ah, holidays. How quickly you disappear.
