John Bowe (ed): Gig: Americans Talk About Their Jobs
Gail Simone: Birds of Prey
Sarah Vowell: Take the Cannoli
Howard Zinn: People's History of the U.S.
The last two come from an essay I wrote comparing All About Eve to Showgirls. Nice to know it's paid off in hits. *g*
In other news, my new bookcase is set up, and it is MAGNIFICENT. I am very happy with it, and I can't wait to go home and get more of my books. I love my books so much. I used to sort them by subject, but now they're all alphabetical by author. It's so fun to see things like a book on the Coen brothers, All the President's Men, and an Enid Blyton book Caz sent me mashed together. Almost as good as David Foster Wallace, Joss Whedon, and The Idiot's Guide to Being Vegetarian. *g*
The entirety of my room feels different as a result of the bookcase. Now, I have a place for my library books - they were cluttering up the floor around my bed before - and my old bookcase, which is made up of strips of wood, can be used for display purposes. I'm going bag and board all of my comics, too - I don't have a lot, and I want to keep them in good condition. Need to figure out where I can get them super-cheap, though... (The bags and boards, that is.)
Plus! I've finally gotten inspired on a couple of art projects I've wanted to do - a collage of superheros (need to pick up some cheap books I can cut apart) and another collage involving all of my old ticket stubs and this empty film can I "liberated" from a dumpster once. I need paint, though - spray paint or otherwise. Where can I get cheap paint? And glue?
Those'll be things I'll work on in the week before school starts.
