I can has dragons!

Dragonhaven by robinmckinley (Yes, really!) and Empire of Ivory by naominovik both arrived today.

In other news, not much is happening here. The proceedings-editing is still eating my brain, and my relationship with Diamond (the new desktop) continues somewhat rocky, though we're slowly coming to an understanding (which seems to involve my accepting that it's about as stable as its Win98 predecessor was at age three) and the new wireless antenna helps a lot. The monsoon is finally gone, and we're enjoying sub-90-degree temperatures and only moderate humidity. It's cool enough in the mornings now that I'm starting to get antsy about that new furnace I was promised, though I probably won't need it for at least a month, and it goes dark early enough that I have to bring work home in order to get in before nightfall.

And I'm hooked on Freecell again, for the first time in years.

Also, I think I need another pair of glasses. I seem to spend all my time looking over the top of the ones I have whenever I want to see anything small, these days; I don't think it was this bad when they were new, even though that was less than a year ago.
