On a completely related note to my last post, I went to B&N yesterday and bought the following book from the clearance table: Lily Dale: The True Story of the Town that Talks to the Dead by Christine Wicker. It is about spiritualists living in Lily Dale, New York, and the observations of a skeptical journalist who went there several times to figure out what was going on. I have not been able to put it down--it's fascinating. The best part about it is that I bought it half-price, which means I got it for a grand total of two dollars and fifty cents.

I also bought a Edward Gorey calender, since December is almost over, called Neglected Murderesses. Contained therein are Gorey's quirky, awesome sketches of murderesses throughout the years who did not get their fair share of infamy. Now begins what we will call Becky's "dark year."

Booga-booga.
