If anyone's wondering where I am, I've been breezing through the leftover material I received in 2007 for YBFH#21--so that I can make way for 2008's stuff, which is piling up in one pile that's about ready to fall over. Anyway, I'm getting there.Everything has to be done and in by March 15th and I think I will actually make the deadline--barring unforeseen illness, etc.
Still mulling over new cd player vs hooking up my computer to my large speakers on the walls. Did some research and there don't seem to be any small cd players (mine's a stacked system that is 11 inches wide--I checked a lot of brands and stores online and they're all 17" wide or larger. I liked having three cds in the machine at a time, even if I had to get up each time one finished and change it--the only things I worry about when listening on my computer (which I'm doing now) is that when I listen to the radio (WBGO has too much static on my radio) online there are too many windows open and I sometimes shut one that turns off the music. The other thing is that I wonder if it slows my computer down.
Some SF/F/ news:
