Excessive nerd energy

theatokosI am hankering, just positively itching to go to the used book store and buy books. I'm also fighting the urge to go to the cd store. For over a year I didn't buy any new (either new or used) books. I did so well! Then, over the Thanksgiving holidays, I broke my fast. Now it's the end-of-year round up. Even the Economist had it's best of 2006 book list. That really fueled the fire.
Like the book addict that I am, I am postively fiending for a fix. It's not like I don't have an enormous amount of unread books sitting on my shelves at home. I even work in an office that also serves as a Jewish library. But still, I want to go look at spines, editions, fonts; I want to read descriptions, fondle paper weights, and smell the musty scent of stacks and stacks of books.
And in the music world, I was, like a good little fan, so pleased that John Mayer was nominated for 5 grammies (whatever they're worth anymore). I'm also pleased that Lorraine Hunt Lieberson was nominated for two.
I really want to get my geek on.
