A Douglas Addams' DVD
...and a really amazingly useful book on amature astronomy called "Turn Left At Orion" by Guy Consolmagno and Dan M. Davis. If you have a small telescope and are struggling with which end points starward, I can't recommend this book enough! As soon as I align the finder scope, I am going to do some serious freezing my butt off star gazing.
The aformentioned Douglas Addams' DVD is the "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" DVD. Three hours of guide and what must be another six or so hours of special features. Needless to say, about nine hours of my day was spent staring open mouthed at the TV. It was worth every second.
The mess around us wasn't ignored. Sara and I have neat freaks inside of us and they are working in concert fighing a gurrila war against chaos and animal hair. We never faced any cleaning battles head on, we would always spring into action and go all out cleaning some small part of a room and then fading away before the clutter can regroup and mount a counter attack. It will be a long and bloody war, but one we have a shot at winning, and that's worth fighting for.
