ajhalluk has some thoughts on reproduction in the Vorkosiverse that are kinda interesting. It'll be cool to see where she goes from here, and if she actually brings reproductive technology / social controls on Athos into it.

Anyway, lots of discussion on Barrayar vs Beta and reproductive controls, which is always interesting.

Until I manage to get my hands on a copy of Paladin of Souls, I guess general Nexus discussion will have to do.

Well, that was an expensive lunch hour. I wandered out to my closest bookstore, looking for a copy of Paladin of Souls (which I still haven't found). One of the stores near the bookstore is a Danier Leather Outlet, so I brought along the leather jacket I'd bought there a year ago to get a button sewn back on.

Big mistake - walking into that store means I leave with something, every time. I'm now the owner of a tan suede blazer/fall jacket - or I will be in a week, once I get it back from having the sleeves shortened.

Sigh. I have no willpower. I can't really afford the jacket right now, but that doesn't stop me from buying it. I'm beginning to believe that credit cards are bad things.
