I got a 2TB external hard drive today. Altogether I now have 6TB of storage.

I also got a couple of books for my mom's birthday.

Jesus Christ! Wow. I remember when I got my first "real" computer. It was a Zenith 286, and it had a 20MB hard drive in it, and it ran Windows 3.1.

Storage capacity has become massive!

^ And cheap.

Massive, indeed! My first computer was a Tandy 2000 w/ a 256K hard drive. Now my cell phone has more memory than that.

Lunch for a friend and I at a new place that opened a couple of weeks ago.

My 'book store guy' had located these for me:

Clifford D. Simak's City. Linked SciFis from 1944-1951 about a future where man has left the cities.

The Marching Morons (1951) and the -kinda- prequel, The Little Black Bag (1950), I had to buy Eight Worlds of C. M. Kornbluth to find in print (I seriously need an e-book reader

)

And my Foundation and Earth had arrived...

I was a really happy shopper today.

Some stuff for dinner tonight so I can actually stay in and cook a little something and not be tempted to order out.

I haven't technically purchased it yet, but I made a bid on a vintage 1960s Harris Tweed deerstalker in grey wool with silk lining for my Sherlock Holmes costume. It's a men's size 7 1/8, so it might be a tad large on me, but I'll work it. I just hope I get it, it's still at a bargain price 11 bids in.

Also, I'm enough of a fan of the original stories to know that Holmes was never specifically described as wearing a deerstalker, and I don't care!

Oops, larger than I'd expected! Earrings by my favorite bead artist -- for those of you who've seen the pic of me wearing a blue and white beaded necklace, it's the same woman. Anyway, I bought these and a handwoven jacket at the Sugarloaf Crafts Festival this weekend.

Wow. Impressive. And classy.

Some yummy stuff and Star Trek Immortal Coil for my Nook.

Went to Half Price Books and picked up a Pogues cd and a book, Luther: The Calling. No, not THAT Luther. It's a detective story about John Luther, the character Idris Elba plays on the TV show.

So, now I can read a whole book while fantasizing about Idris Elba and it won't be counter-productive.
