Scribblings from the Mitchy Side

I've mentioned before that one of my very favourite authors is Diane Duane. She's been offline for a while, due to pesky real life problems, but is back and blogging again. She's just posted a link to an article she wrote about the uses of imagination and it's left me so astounded, I had to share.

Get yourself a mug of tea and have a read. It's thought provoking and funny at the same time.

And now I'm off to London to stalk meet strange American cartoonists. Catcha laters :) *wavies and scampers*

First, my MacGyver S4 DVD boxset arrives! Yay!! (Look, I was weak, I'd watched all of S3, there was withdrawal...need I say more?)

THEN my Starsky and Hutch S1 box set arrives! Yay!! (Dirt cheap, on amazon, under a tenner, including delivery. She says, defensively)

AND THEN!! *extra squee* my signed hardcover copy of Diane Duane's "Spock's World" arrives! *dances in glee* (Look, it was a signed DD and I bought it ages ago, hush).

Budget? What budget?

OK, OK, I'll be good now. Promise.

Dear mitchyfc
Congratulations You purchased the following item:
Item Name: Star Trek: Spock's World, autographed 1st printing HC

Ahahahahahah!!

To be accurate, mind, I didn't "win", it was a "buy it now" dealy, but I still got in there before the slavering hordes of Diane Duane fans. 'S all mine! *dances*

Knew adding DD to my flist so I'd see the mirror of her weblog there first was a good idea :D

Mind you, I'm eating beans on toast for the rest of the month. Budget? What's that? :P
