The problem with my kindle backlog

*ahem*

is that I've been buying all the new things and I really ought to be backing up some of the old things. So I'm resolving that over the next few months my spare kindle money will go to getting editions of books I already own and enjoy in dead tree format! Because I've officially run out of shelves. (Hah, I ran out of shelves years ago, and that's with stacking. I've officially run out of floor. I've also run out of mattress, piano, kitchen counter, linen closet, downstairs pantry, and basement... or, anyway, nobody else is letting me store books in those places anymore, and if they did I'd have more floorspace, but even I can see that this is not actually a viable longterm solution unless I want to end up like the Collier brothers.)

Will I then go and store my old books? PROBABLY NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT! But I'll be able to.

Hey, what's the data limit on an individual kindle anyway?

I've found my epitaph, folks! I mean, I'm not going to have one because I intend to be cremated and therefore don't particularly want a gravestone, but if I were to have all that - that's what my grave should say.

(I'd settle for a tattoo, but that sounds painful.)
