More good things I forgot to include:

Half.com. There's really something nice about bringing in more money in a couple weeks selling books than you've spent buying books for the quarter. Of course, this conveniently ignores the original cost of said books, but if you pretend the money is coming out of thin air, it's pretty sweet. Plus, although I had to make 4 trips to the post office to mail 8 books, I managed to make 3 of those trips on Friday afternoons when I volunteer at NSP right across the street from the post office anyway, so it's been a pretty painless hunk of cash.

Cafe Mud. There's going to be a coffee shop moving in right down the street in March, apparently. This is nice, as the current highlight of my neighborhood is everyone's favorite Hanan's Finer Foods 'n' Porn Shop. I have no idea if it'll be any good, but I'm hoping for some good Grand Opening promotions and discounts.  ¶ 12:36 AM
