Whilst out in town and not buying books

I found a hardback of Falling Free by Lois McMaster Bujold (that's the one about the quaddies, the genetically-engineered humans with an extra pair of arms instead of legs). It was published in 2004 by the NESFA Press and seems to have been conceived as a tribute edition to her father (the book was already dedicated to him), with a foreward by her brother, and a reprint of an obituary. It's got a delightful artwork cover of a six-armed embrace. I don't know if it's rare or whether I got a bargain, but I'm really pleased with it. Oh, it's signed too.

Battlestar Galactica

I watched the season 2 finale over lunch: It's a mark of how far my enthusiasm for the show has declined that when I realized it was a 90 minute episode, I groaned and nearly deleted it unwatched. But I didn't get where I am today by not frustrating myself with immensely disappointing television, so I stuck with it.
