Y'all will have heard the news about more people needing visas to enter the US.

I haven't been able to find anywhere if this applies to Canadians (well, globeandmail.com or cbc.ca). Because if it does, my passport doesn't have a bar code, presumably because it wasn't issued in Canada. Thus, if it applies to us, I will need a visa.

I will not be attending Convergence if I have to take an extra couple of days off to sit outside the US embassy in either London or Ottawa/Toronto waiting to get a visa (especially considering cost of getting to London + cost of visa).

In slightly happier news, I wasted much time being indecisive in Waterstones yesterday to spend my coupons and book tokens.

Just after finally going to the library on Tuesday. It's mostly closed for renovations till spring, but I still found a big pile of books to bring home.

What can I say - panic seems to set in if I have less than 20 books sitting around demanding I read them RIGHT NOW. Despite the fact that I have hundreds of books I'd like to read again some day, and friends with extensive book collections I'm welcome to raid any time. I'm like one of those nutcases who hoards food in case of natural disaster, but with books instead. (I must say, if I ever become unemployed, I won't be stuck for things to do).
