annathepiper | WEEKEND!

Looks like I get to have a weekend, finally. To celebrate this, and to celebrate the end of the positively ridiculous amounts of overtime I have been working this week, I intend to go buy myself a treat. This will do double duty as something to do while I'm Recovering From Surgery Girl next week, too!

But I do not know what to get, and my brain, it is mush. So clearly I need your all's input on this, people. Sing out!

My instinct is to go with the book(s) selection. If you haven't already picked up Eragon, it's a rather good read, besides, the next book in that series is due out soon. If your to read list is already long, forgo the books. As to the first series of Star Trek, which one? I'm inclined to think you'd go for TOS, although make sure you don't forget to watch the ones where Christopher Pike was captain and Majel Barrett's character was Number One first.

The only problem I have with buying books on this outing is that I am doing it while biking to the shopping center in nearby Woodinville, which is a 15-minute drive but a lot longer by bike. So anything I purchase has to survive being carried back in my backpack, and several books would get squished.

Also, yeah, I have a lot of To Reads I really need to go through, and one of the things I hope to do while I am recovering next week is put a dent in them. After I plow through

spazzkat's copies of all the Harry Potter books. :)

TOS is definitely my Trek inclination. But I've seen the Captain Pike pilot, too.

solarbird and I want to catch the version of that that's unedited, since the one that gets aired on the Sci-Fi channel is damned near incoherent with the editing!

The only problem with TOS, though, is that the boxed sets are over my budget, I think. $50 or under! So probably what's going to happen is that I will buy whatever the Target's DVD section has and that's cheapest (hopefully that'll be Firefly) and ONE of the books off my list. :) That'll satisfy my budgetary constraint AND the need to comfortably carry the items in my backpack on the way home.
