Anne Rice Books

Recently I have been on an Anne Rice reading binge. I have reread a bunch of her books that I own. Most of them are about vampires. But there have been some about witches.

I just bought a few items from Amazon. So I added a new Anne Rice book to the order. Now I am reading it slowly, enjoying every word. I am forcing myself to slow down and only read one chapter a day.

In other news, I read a blog post about bad error messages. The author said you can't win when things break down. You even fail if you try to put up a cute screen. But don't you love the little doggy in the picture above?

Lighting by Tiffanys

My trusty desk lamp started acting up. The light would flicker sometimes. I got scared that the old thing might start a fire. So I decided to replace it.

I did my shopping on Amazon. They had a nice selection. I always wanted a Tiffany style lamp. You know. Those are the ones with colored glass that bankers use.

Today I got home and found a box on my chair. Kit Kat beat me home and brought in my Amazon shipment. I plugged in the new lamp and there you go.

I have just one problem. My old lamp had a long neck which stuck out over the section of my desk where I do my bills. The new one just points the light down (on the shelf above my desk). Details.
