Good morning, Happy Wednesday, Happy November, etc, etc, etc

Fortunately for you, dear readers, my computer blue-screened yesterday and took with it the whiny rant I was intending to post about the weather and the commute and the latest thing D had done that was making me crazy.

Today, thank all applicable deities, is a work-from-home day, albeit one where I am going to take the car in to see what's wrong with it *this* time. I think I've reached my limit on dealing with it on a daily basis and may just break down and go get whatever Carmax has for me this weekend.

I have managed to write/post my daily words for mini_wrimo so far this month, \o/. (Yes, I know it's only 3 days at this point, but I am celebrating all wins.) I also managed to get another free month's membership at the fitness center at the new office (it's based on how many times you go in the previous month), so yay for that, too.

Before I go see how bad the car related news is, have some links of interest/entertainment:

Lots of Regencies on sale, including a fair number of Heyers, several of which also have the Audible tie-in offers, so if you grab the Kindle edition (for $1.99), you can also add the audiobook for ~$3.99.

Ira Glass's 10 favorite episodes of This American Life (links to the actual episodes for streaming purposes.)

Free, streaming narration of a.ll the Narnia books, just in case you need a quick hit of your childhood

I still haven't lost my love of the surfer world (for those of you who are new-ish, it's a long story and one that's entwined with the thing I have for military pilots), and apparently Teahupo'o was crazy this year.

Have a good one!
