With a good deal of assistance from the amazing ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
uilos, my apartment was made to look more or less presentable and well-stocked in time for the housewarming yesterday. We got to spend some time with selki, pooka798, heptadecagram, scraun23, fishy1, elf, airncbuh, Mo, and pictsy, wonderful people all. Played some games, baked some ziti, watched that Christmas classic Santa Vs. the Snowman, and in general enjoyed the company. I should do this again sometime. Partly because, well, I've got all this snacky food left.
And then I woke up this morning and had a pretty good omelet, and tea, and checked the mail to find a paycheck from the freelancing job I did three weeks ago. And once the first load of laundry comes out of the dryer I'm heading out to pick upairncbuh, and we shall raid the Tower Records at Fair Lakes for Xmas presents. Life is good.
According to the SFBC (bastion of literary merit and taste that it is), these are the fifty most influential spec-fic books of the back half of the twentieth century. Or something. I could bitch about the presence of certain eighth-rate Tolkien rip-offs on this list, or the absence of various works, but in general I think they did alright.
( a list of books! )
