too cold to go out, and I've run out of stuff to read

[merrily]

Saturday evening, my tv is broken, and I'm bored. I haven't really run out of stuff to read -- there are a good fifty books in the pile next to my bed, waiting for me to decide I care about them. I think I'm going to have to weed 'em down a bit.

I feel that I should add a disclaimer that I am not actually responsible for bringing any of those into my home. I'm a bookseller; my library is a work-related peril. As are the injuries I sustain trying to walk between the piles of tomes leaning haphazardly around my apartment.

Respond with the ones you want and we can work out shipping. I'll keep comments screened.

In other news, I found an online treasure-trove of SGA-related film and tv available for free download, but I can't make it work. *sulks* I think my mac is to blame. It usually isn't, but I'm still running 10.2.8, and I can't afford to upgrade yet. Also? It takes forEVA to download 700MB of stuff. Such a bloody tease!

On a related note, o flist, does anyone else know why I can't seem to post to del.icio.us? Is it a Safari thing?

I've never had any trouble with Safari and del.icio.us so long as I go to the this page and type it all in. But I've never been able to get the automatic links that you add to your browser to work properly.

to the home page?

The del.icio.us techies haven't written me back yet, so I think I'll just have to do it all manually. Annoying. Makes me less interested in using it, although it is a fabulous resource for finding things.

Gorram it. Not the home page. I somehow missed part of the addy when I was copying it in.
This page:
http://del.icio.us/post/

It redirects to the home page though, if you're not logged in.

A-HA.

Thanks.
