tabular_rasaTory persuaded me to take her to Borders today. She now owes me $1.50, lol . . .
They didn't have "Demian: The Story of Emil Sinclair's Youth," which I wanted to buy, nor did they have the Mulan soundtrack, which I also wanted to buy-- because I can't find my old tape version and I really want to put it on a CD.
So instead, I got a collection of Tchaikovsky's works, all minor (yes!!!), some more Prokofiev (I almost got one with Kije on it again, but didn't . . . there was one with everything that had but Kije and was about $6.00 cheapers), and a Les Miserables soundtrack (though not one of the huge ones . . . because I've never seen the actual musical . . . lol . . . I just love the book like insanely . . . even though, lol, I have yet to read through the ENTIRE unabridged version . . . ). I almost got "Wicked"-- this book about the Wizard of Oz from the witches's point of view that looks really good and has done very well and I don't know HOW I have gone without hearing about it . . . apparently it's got a musical, too . . . lol . . . I think I'll go get it from the library.
However, I DID get a book discussing Harry Potter and philosophy. It's friggin' great. It's part of a whole series; there's Lord of the Rings and The Sopranos and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, too, lol ^_^ Yet . . . I saw it, and I went, "WHOA!!! It's someone who's a bigger nerd than me . . . and they're making money off it!"
It's very interesting, too. Half of it, however, I have already thought about before, too, lol . . .
I'm so jealous.
I guess I'll just have to write a history parallel to it instead, lol . . .
Listening to the Les Miserables soundtrack . . .

Aww . . . listening to Javert commit suicide. Sad day, poor guy. I remember when I first figured out he was going to do that . . . when I read ahead on the bleachers at Tory's track meet, when I was in 10th grade, when Nichole and Kristina had been nice and come with me to watch ^_^ and I was reading and not paying attention (sorry, Tory . . . not that you were running at this point, anyway).
