Today was a good day.
In another effort to make things look “home-like,” I hung up my IKEA rug on one of the walls in the basement stairwell. Now, I just need to figure out what to do with the rest of my wall-hangable items.

Quote of the Day
The Guide in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy now has a voice. English Actor Stephen Fry, got the nod.; if you are a fan of books-on-tape, you may recognize him as the narrator of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Here is what he had to say about being selected as the voice of The Guide:
“It’s like having your birthday on Christmas Day, discovering a winning lottery ticket in your stocking and having chocolate poured all over you.”
And, while looking up info on him, I came across this gem, too:
“It only takes a room of Americans for the English and Australians to realise how much we have in common.”
Namaste.
