How cool is THIS?

So, I'm at a Walgreens looking for an OTC muscle relaxant for my hubby, who's got a spasming back muscle and sciatic nerve pain, and notice the rack that's full of discount DVDs.

I thumb through the DVDs there, and find Volume 1.2 of Andromeda for $6, which I didn't pick up -- but if ANYONE on my flist wants it, tell me NOW, so I can run over there and pick it up for you.

There were two Pilates DVDs. Took them out of the rack. And.....(drum roll please!)

Century Hotel with David Hewlett in it!

Yep, that's right. Right there. Staring at me, with a $5.99 label on it. Since I'd heard good things about it on the Hewlett Fan Club flist, I snapped it up. I'll give it a watch. If I decide not to keep it, and someone might want it later, let me know.

Cool command feature on Word

For those of you who like to lift fanfic off the web, those webpages that set the text within tables can be a major PITA, esp if, like me, you like to download your fic onto your PDA via eBooks, which does not take text with frames.

If you go onto the Table Menu, then click on "convert", two choices pop up: text to tables and tables to text. If you have a fic inset into a table, highlight the table, then click on the "tables to text" command. And there you have it, a fic that's free of that nasty table. AND, the text stays in its formatting, so you don't lose paragraphs, etc.
