Walked to the library, where (as I suspected) they STILL block LJ. Oh well, it's still better than the home computer restarting every five minutes or so! The computer stations outside of the room I'm used to only have 2-hour sessions as opposed to 2.5-hour sessions with extensions, but I think it's better than nothing! However, I might go to Oakridge after this, since I would need to check LJ. Hopefully, it's not blocked there! I borrowed Bind, Torture, Kill: The Inside Story of the Serial Killer Next Door (Roy Wenzl, Tim Potter, L. Kelly, Hurst Laviana); Eye of the Beholder (Lowell Cauffiel), Middlemarch (George Eliot, Lynne Sharon Schwartz, and Megan McDaniel); Encyclopedia of Crime (Oliver Cyriax, Colin Wilson, Damon Wilson); The Husband (Dean Koontz); Jade Peony (Wayson Choi); To the Grave: Inside a Spectacular RCMP Sting (Mike McIntyre); Black Dahlia Avenger (Steve Hodel); and Post-Mortem: Justice at Last for Yvette Budram (Jon Wells) while I was here.
