New Layout and More Money Spending

The layout of the blog has changed again out of my control, but I like it I think.  At the bottom of the page you can find links to old entries and then can flip back to new ones.  I also have the new ability to make other people writers on the journal, and am considering it, but am not sure yet.  I didn't have this before, but I got this alert telling me about it.  I hope you like it this way, because I really can't change it!

So anyway, I went to Borders again last night.  I had got another 30% coupon and had to spend it (on history of course!).  I really need a new bookshelf, otherwise I'm kicking out all my fantasy books and banishing them to the attic to make space for my references and what-not.  I've been forced to stack my books, because Aristophanes, the Complete Plays (below) isn't fitting on my desk's shelves!  For someone with book OCD like me, that's the worst of all blasphemies.  Books are meant to be neatly lined up, not thrown around in piles like some sort of scrap paper!

By the way, with the purchase of that last book I got another coupon for 25% off.  Watch, the next one will be for 20% off, and they are just going to keep sucking up my money!  What's really retarded is that I know it, and I'm still buying there anyway!  Oh, well, it'll all pay off (literally!) when I cash in my bucks on my Borders Rewards Card!  Or at least that's what I'm telling myself for an excuse for the time being.

Moving on, Aristophanes looks spectacular (as usual!).  It contains all elevan of his dramas, which are "Acharnians", "Knights", "Clouds", "Wasps", "Peace", "Birds", "Lysistrata", "Women at Thesmophoria Festival", "Frogs", "A Parliament of Women", "Plutus [Wealth]".  I've always been partial to the classical theatre, and this collection pretty much crowns it.

I had to leave out "Acharnians", because I get max of ten options on my polls.  There were one too many dramas.

If I had Tourette's, my tick would be spending money at Borders!  Or did you mean history?  Oh, well, I've got both!

(Tick) Spend!

Oh, and another change I noticed was in my edit buttons, but although you can't see them, they turned from a nice lime green to this hideous puke green!  =(

Oh!  Do you have book OCD too?!?!?  Jk...

There has to be such a thing, though, because I really think I do.  When I was in 5th Grade I arranged all my books alphabetically by author.  I had them all number coded as well, so I always knew what books I was missing at anyone time with a log on my computer.  Ha, ha... I was very proud of it!  =)
