Oh, man.  This is going to be an expensive week.  First Laura and I spent the afternoon shopping for supplies at the mall today, then I came home to find that Jim Butcher’s next Harry Dresden novel, A Small Favor, comes out on Tuesday, as does the new album by R.E.M.  Both of these I knew were coming soon, but I wasn’t sure exactly when.  And then someone brought this to my attention: the new MindStyle statue of uRac the Scribe from The Dark Crystal is now available.  I’ve wanted to buy something from that movie for a while now, but only now has just the right thing come across my radar.  From the listing at Entertainment Earth:

 The Dark Crystal, comes this superbly detailed and hued statue of uRac the Scribe. The decidedly collectible polyresin statue from Mindstyle is large (it measures 5-inches tall x 10-inches wide) and is a limited edition of only 1,500 pieces. It comes in a matching full-color box that is suitable for display, as well. The prayers of Dark Crystal fans and collectors alike are answered with this marvelous sculpture!

I mean, seriously…  How perfect is that for my office?
