Oh, baby baby, it's a wild world

vovatSo, what's with the weather we've been having in this area recently? Within the same day, it can get from cold enough to require heat to hot enough to require air conditioning. It might be nice if it would settle, but only if it would settle on the warmer side, which is probably unlikely at this point.
In case you haven't heard yet, Cat Stevens was forbidden to enter the country. They apparently think he donated money to a terrorist group or something. Maybe it's not him they're worried about, but that moon shadow that's always following him. I've heard that thing can make people lose various body parts.
Okay, now that I've gotten the bad jokes out of the way, I can move on to more mundane matters. I stopped by Borders early this afternoon, and I ended up buying a book of Kafka stories for $5. I passed up a cheap book on Salvador Dali, on the basis that I already have two books on Dali, and I doubt this one really says that much more on him. ("He was messed up and perverted, but he drew cool pictures.") I do tend to like surrealism, though, what with its rather realistic drawings with a weird twist. I think that kind of taste spills into the types of books and music I like, too.
Speaking of books, there are a few new series books I should probably read in the near future. Beth has the new Lemony Snicket book, although I think she'll want to read it before letting me do so. I also used the public library's website to put a hold on Terry Pratchett's two most recent Discworld books, Going Postal and the children's book Hat Full of Sky.
Maybe I should take advantage of the CD promotion that Borders is running this week, where you buy three and get one free. I'll just have to make sure I'm actually saving money, since Borders tends to have inflated prices on some of their CDs.
Anyway, after Borders, I went to the dentist to have my cavity refilled. The dentist said that I bite my cheek, which I guess I must, but I don't do it consciously. Before I had my wisdom teeth taken out, they used to bite my cheek all the time, but those teeth are gone now, so I don't know exactly what the problem is.
I have a desire to make mix CDs, but I don't have anyone to make them for. There was a mix CD swap on the Frank Black Forum recently, but I missed out on it. I guess I could burn CDs for myself, but that's not really as satisfying.
