Lovecraftian love affairs

I wanted to cry with wantiness!

It costs about R3 000 and is available from loot. Please can I have it?
I also want stuff from the HLHS Bazaar.

I found it because I am in a rather Lovecraftian mood.
I watched John Carpenter's In The Mouth Of Madness this weekend. just because. I was actually trying to get hold of Necronomicon, which I had seen at the not-our-local-video store but stupidly did not hire at the time. sigh. It's pretty difficult to get hold of, but it is available through amazon.fr.

Btw, I already own these so you see why I need the lovecraft retrospective... the Giger was a wonderful serendipitous bargain. We picked it up on a sales table for R120. no jokes. (it's valued at over R1 000). And the pretty Gollancz commemorative edition was a gifty from my loved one. and the plush cthulhu was a gift to myself.

I went in with great trepidation. I spent a semi-sleepless night wondering how we will get by on one salary. I planned my future as an aging bookseller.

I came out of the meeting with revitalised spirit. My fears were for naught. My skills are highly valued. I am about to start a new adventure. Officially. I spend the next six months with the fishies! Yup, taking my skills over to aquaculture! good night 'black sheep' project!

I also just got my shiny new toy; a work laptop. Okay, so I could have had one 3 years ago but I chose a desk top :P it's not often that one gets a completely fresh start.

Oh, and get this, I am also considered a senior researcher. *shock and anxiety* I can live up to that. I hope.
