Yes, finally, my first 'I'm bored' post of the summer. Mostly because everybody that I usually talk to is busy or not online or whatever, and I'm trying to save the two books I checked out for my massively long trip on Thursday and Friday.
So...book recs? Music recs? Fic recs? And any good old-and-thus-cheap-used game recs? I'm bringing the PSOne with me to North Carolina, and I probably won't have any internet access, so I'm not going to have much else to do - bringing FF8 and FF9, although FF8 is really only getting played because people have sworn to me that there is in fact something resembling plot later, and Squall develops more personality than a rock, although I'm skeptical, which is why I haven't touched it since last summer.

I'm guessing Rinoa only gets more irritating as the game goes on, though?
