It's past time to admit this. I've been addicted for more than twenty years.
I've kind of known this for some time, but it really hit home yesterday when I didn't have my usual stash. This is not normally a "problem" - I have stashes in at least eight different places around the house so that I'm never without.

If you answer "yes" to more than four of these, you have a problem.
This is painful, but I've been told that admitting is the first step. )

madbaker: (life is good)
At [livejournal.com profile] bonacorsi's suggestion, I got out of the house (and her hair) yesterday. I went to the local sci-fi bookstore where Cory Doctorow was signing his latest book Little Brother, which I bought and read when it came out.

It was a good idea. There were a lot of people there. Cory read the same fragment he read at SF in SF about a year ago - it didn't work as well for me this time, but that may have been because this was the third time I had heard/read it.

When I was getting the book signed, I mentioned that I live just down the street from a steep quasi-hidden staircase that appears in one scene. Turns out Cory used to live a couple blocks from us.
