… I’ve joined a fantasy football league at work.
I’ve always enjoyed watching sports – preferably live – but I’ve never really been one to follow stats and individual player performance. However, that’s all about to change as I take on the challenge of managing my own fantasy team. Now I’m boning up on what being in a league entails and what the hell I have to do when draft time comes.
Any tips?

I’m interrupting my very own apparently non-posting schedule to share some excitement.
I bought books! A whole slew of them in fact. I went to a used book sale at the library in the town where I work today. I was actually there to take pictures, but instead I ended up browsing the books and I managed to find some good ones.
The best part is, 9 books later, I was only out $12. Most of the books seem as if they’ve never been read.
In all, I bought eight paperbacks and one hardcover:
On Beauty by Zadie Smith
Angus, thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging by Louise Rennison
Light in August by William Faulkner
The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner
As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews
Until I Find You by John Irving
These latest literary purchases follow on the heels of my online book shopping delivery. I had been upset about a lack of books to read at the time and attempted to go to Chapters twice to remedy the problem. However, my schedule didn’t seem to flow well with Chapters’ and everytime I went, they were closed. Online it was! I managed to pick up a couple good finds too:
Furious Love by Sam Kashner
Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
What have you been reading this summer? My bedside table is full at the moment, but I always welcome suggestions.
