I'd better stop flaring soon; I can't afford the rate I'm going through jigsaw puzzles (it's generally taking one to two days to finish each).

Reminders to myself of puzzles I'm interested in:

Ravensburger Marine Wildlife (sale)
Waiting for Neptune
All the World's a Stage
Quincy Market Puzzle (sale)
Icemark (sale)
Grateful Dead Backstage (sale)
Frogs and Friends (sale)
Giocconda & Vitruvian Man Jigsaw Puzzle Set 2 (definitely!)
The World Jigsaw Puzzle Set 2 (definitely!)
Mapamundi, 1375, Cresques Abraham (definitely!)
Nicolao Visscher Orbis Terrarum Nova (definitely!)
You Are Here (planets) (definitely!)
Da Vinci's World (definitely!)
Magna Carta (definitely!)

I should grab the cheapies (especially the hospital copies -- damaged boxes) soon, but I'm all psyched to have finally found such an assortment of map puzzles. And the two two-packs I've got listed above are both really cool and really good deals, so those're high on the list, too.

Family, if you're wondering about b-day presents, the any of the above would be awesome, but check with me first, because I'm likely going to order a couple in the next week or so; I'm down to one uncompleted puzzle at the moment.

Judd Apatow is very hit or miss for me; I find his assortment of regulars pretty thoroughly hysterical (especially Seth Rogen and Jason Segel), and there's stuff of his I utterly love (Freaks and Geeks, Superbad, and Forgetting Sarah Marshall especially), but I barely made it halfway through 40-Year-Old Virgin, and I'm currently finally watching Knocked Up, and about as irritated by it as I expected. I can totally buy deciding to continue an unexpected pregnancy. Happens every day. But everything about the relationship between the two of them feels so far beyond unrealistic that I can't particularly get into it, even as an over-the-top sort of thing. Because a one-night-stand she's horribly incompatible with got her pregnant, she's going to try to create a romantic relationship out of it? Seriously? I could even buy it a bit more if they were just trying to be good co-parents, and ended up falling in love, but this is one of the most unbelievable premises I've heard in a while. It's frustrating, because I'm so enjoy watching the cast, and am so disliking the movie itself.
