This was a great deal more cheerful of an entry before the air conditioning stopped conditioning the air and every CD that I burned comes back with a "disk corrupted or blank" warning. And attempting to read the disk in different drives crashes Windows Explorer. Why does everything break down at once? (Although admittedly - the AC is an immediate problem; the burner is one to deal with quite a while from now. Still, it's putting a cramp in spreading the Who love.)

*sigh* On with the rest of the resolutions.

TBR books: 25 pleasure / 24 Tudor / 5 review / 3 borrowed

I really wanted to bask in the glory of 25 books To Be Read for pleasure. When I started doing the resolutions list that number was 575, and that was just *then* - no count was ever made of the books that have been bought, handed out, or gifted in that period. However, am somewhat concerned by the issues above.

Shaking my head at the number of Big Finish audios I've gone through. What am I going to do with myself when I catch up and have to ration them to the few I can afford when I can afford them?
