It's been ages since I've posted. Life is fairly good,and I start my MSLIS classes next week. MSLIS = Master of Science in Library and Information Science. And it'll be an MSLIS with a concentration in Rare Books and Special Collections, so maybe I should make it MSLIS:RBSC, or something. Whee.

The real reason for this post, however: shiny things!

1. I am now the proud owner of the beautiful Heavy Red red and black brocade Victorian corset, an item that I have drooled over for at least a year. It was on clearance (I may have gotten the very last one - it's no longer available), it was in my size, so I bought it. Practical? No. Amazingly gorgeous? Yes!

2. Apple is ridiculous. To be more precise, the MacBook Air is ridiculous. Between 0.16 and 0.76 inch thin? 3 pounds? Craziness. I do, however, want the Time Capsule. Automatic wireless backup AND a Wi-Fi base station? Too cool. But I don't have the right operating system, and I already have an external hard drive and a wireless router - so it's completely unnecessary. But damn cool anyway.
