My mum and I spent the morning in Stratford browsing used bookstores. I bought two Wheel of Time books (I own the entire set except for Knife of Dreams now), Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov, Snow White and the Seven Samurai by Tom Holt, and Lost in a Good Book and The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde. Came to $35 and dashed my hopes of buying a soundcard today as well. I shall have to grab money from the bank and stop into Sherwood Music after school on Monday. Until then, I'm pouring through The Eye of the World (Book #1, which is pretty fun after reading #3-11 in the past few months) and hacking on a couple fun projects I have going while I don't have homework.

Aha, that's an amazing audio file. The Aussie is completely realistic, too!
I finished Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein, it's really good but I don't understand the point of it. The ending doesn't feel like it should stop there.
I hate game over screens. They're so... final. That's why Nytar's Subdungeon appeals to me, it looks great and when you die, you don't die! It resets the board for you, and you try again. Instant-kill puzzles suddenly aren't so ire-inducing anymore.
