Rebuilding Libraries on the Gulf Coast, one book at a time!

The folks at televisionwithoutpity.com (my favorite TV snark site) and pamie.com (the blog of the former Gilmore girls recapper at TWOP) have teamed up to restock the Harrison County Library System.

It's remarkably organized. The libraries have made wishlists at Amazon, you buy books off the wishlists, Amazon ships them to the library of your choice, and then the site gets an Amazon affliate kickback, which they then donate to the library system!

1150 books have already been sent, and my humble additions of Double Fudge and The Joy Luck Club round it out to 1152 or thereabouts.

Check it out!

As a self respecting library patron, I couldn't pass up the chance to be part of such an amazing book drive, and I hope you feel the same. Let me know if you donate something. I'm curious.

Which of the X-Men are you?

Because of Roopali, I found this. And found out that I'm Rogue. Who are you?
You Are Rogue

You're reluctantly special. In fact, you long to be normal.
You consider your powers to be a curse, and something you can't control.

Powers: absorbing other people's memories and abilities, weakening and killing people with your touch

Look Ma! I made an animated movie in 2 min!

Thanks to DF1LM, that is.

Check it out!

and the SEQUEL

I'm a globe-trotter!

Well, not really, because I really can't dribble a basketball, but in the beginning of May, I felt like I was one.

First, I was in Spain for a week with Lena. We had a great time. Lots of site-seeing.











(first picture is of Toledo, on the Tagus, and the next three pictures are various views of the Cathedral of Sevilla)

Then, the following weekend I was in Grand Rapids, Michigan for a family event and saw the tulip festival, which if you've seen the rest of the blog, you know I loved.
