I’ve been preparing the last week for a bunch of little things:
Sour Patch Kids [X]
Canada Peppermints [X]
Canada Spearmints [X]
Wintergreen Chews [X]
Cherry Coke Zero [X]
Sadly, while out and running about, I haven’t been picking up anything to read. (Well, I *DID* look at another CISSP book but… I don’t want to get into a rut or anything.)
So… what are you reading and/or watching?

Necessary Errors by Caleb Crain.Report
Holidays and an influx of every kind of family member imaginable has meant that I am STILL reading 1Q84. I may never finish at this rate. Oh, and of course the influx means I’m reading a lot of cookbooks, so that’s cool.
Last night we went to see Anchorman 2. We spent much of dinner afterwards arguing about whether or not there are worse movies that have been made.Report
Tell us what you think of 1Q84. I got about halfway and did my normal “pick up something else to read for a bit, and let it gel.” that was almost a year ago, and still haven’t picked it back up.Report
I finished Weeds, and started Season 4 of the Big Bang Theory.
Bookwise, like Tod, I am thinking “Will I ever finish this book?” In my case the book is Hild. (It’s really good though.)Report
Just finished the latest season of The Killing on Netflix. About to start season 2 of Lillyhammer. For books, just learned how to download library books to my tablet and am reading Douglas Adams’s Mostly Harmless. Not as good as the rest of the Hitchhiker series, but he won’t be writing any more, so this is as good as it gets.Report
Reading The Truth by TP, which is a nice return to the goodstuff. It’s pretty damn entertaining. Geniusific, I’d say.Report
Filling the gap between finishing Robert Jordan’s/Brandon Sanderson’s Towers of Midnight and the paperback release of A Memory of Light with Neil Gaiman’s American Gods, Joe Haldeman’s The Forever War, and Terry Pratchett/Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens.Report
Three great choices.Report
