For what it’s worth, the Friday Five:

1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)? Novels.

2. What is your favorite novel? I have to choose one? Maybe Leviathan by Paul Auster. Maybe One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Maybe Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury. Maybe…

3. Do you have a favorite poem? (Share it!) I don’t know if it’s my favorite, but I’ve always liked T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”. Also, Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky”.

4. What is one thing you’ve always wanted to read, or wish you had more time to read? I’d just like to read more. At best, I seem to only be able to read two novels a month.

5. What are you currently reading? It says right there in the sidebar: Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite and (much, much more slowly) John Adams by David McCullough. The other day, I finished A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick.

I’m trying not to watch all five of these newly arrived Farscape episodes back-to-back, since I do have to go to work tomorrow, I would like to get some sleep, and the next set of DVDs isn’t due out until April. But it’s tough. On Tuesday, I received a tape with five of this season’s Buffy: the Vampire Slayer episodes (thank you again, lil’ amish), and I somehow managed to watch them all one right after the other. I didn’t set out to watch five hours of television — six, give or take, since I zipped through the commercials and paused to watch 24 — but I was like a geek junkie getting his fix.

I just received confirmation that Amazon shipped my package — about an hour after I received it. This can only mean one of three things: UPS is exceptionally fast, Amazon is exceptionally slow, or (and this is what my money’s on) the space-time continuum has gone all wonky.

I guess that means I’ll have more time to watch these new episodes of Farscape.
