Today...

I was going to go to Uncle Hugo's bookstore, but it closed at 5 PM. Which is when I usually get up. So instead, with [livejournal.com profile] foeclan and [livejournal.com profile] feezlekahn I hit the Roseville Half-Price Books and Barnes & Noble. Therein I spent WAY too much money. At Half-Price I got three Dashiel Hammett novels (The Thin Man, The Glass Key and Red Harvest), Dragons of the Cuyohoga by S. Andrew Swann and a DVD I've been looking for: Varan the Unbelievable, one of Toho's lesser-known giant rubber critters, directed by Inushiro Honda. Yay!

At Barnes & Noble, I got Regenesis by C.J. Cherryh, which is the latest of the Alliance/Union/Compact Universe, and the Watchmen graphic novel, which I've read (LONG ago) but never owned. Thereafter, I was feeling peckish and suggested food; [livejournal.com profile] foeclan initially demurred, but when [livejournal.com profile] joshuwain called him plans were quickly made to meet at Old Chicago, which was kinda right there. Dinner was good, and now I'm home somewhat poorer but with a lot of stuff to read. :)
