A series of random statements
Oct. 19th, 2011 06:46 pmI hope I can find my "Sherdoc" icon on the hard drive of the backup computer, because LJ appears to have eaten it. Dang. I'm fond of it.
I'm glad I got the audio download of Pratchett's latest book, because there has been a lot of discussion online about massive typos in the electronic and even printed versions. Wow. A major publisher working with one of their major writers and nobody actually checks the proofs? Listening takes a lot longer than reading, but Stephen Briggs doesn't throw me out of the story with mispronunciations.
Speaking of audio and people named Briggs, the first of the Big Finish Sherlock Holmes S2 audios is up for download. This time they're doing audios of canonical stories, although they've picked an odd set to start with. I'll check 'em out... I want to support this series, but I found S1 far more meta than I was in the mood for.
Tonight I'm going to pass on the wool for soldier's hats. I think I'm also going to pass on the good condition paperback mysteries out of the WTF do I do with these? stack for Stockings for Soldiers. (For those on the "list 'em!" team, there are still going to be plenty of things to list. Like signed first editions.)
The ethical dilemma du jour is if I should volunteer for a clinic shift this weekend, and if I should be volunteering more often anyway. I'm leaning towards "not" as it's going to be a long weekend and I've got a crapload to do, but... well, but.
