The Joy of Reading (Again)

2006-08-13T13:00:00.000-04:00

So I've started reading again...I think it's due to the fact that I now have too much time on my hands. It started quite a few days back...I picked up a magazine I had began some weeks ago and finished it. Then I picked up another magazine I had not yet read and finished it. I'm happy to report that I've caught up on my magazine reading. Maybe I should scale down the number of magazines that I subscribe to...is six too many?

Now that I'm up-to-date on the mags, I've moved onto reading Wuthering Heights again. It's an excellent novel, if you haven't had the pleasure of reading it yet, I'd highly recommend you do. I purchased this lovely hardcover edition a while back, and it's just too pretty not to read.

On a side note, I'm thinking of having a book sale. I have much too many. Some are absolutely brand new...never been read. I will at some point list off a bunch of titles that I am willing to part with...so if you want them come and get them.

Do I Look Religious To You?

2006-08-09T16:49:00.000-04:00

So today marks the second time this week that religious type people have come to my door trying to push their beliefs onto me. First I had Jehovah's Witnesses...a really elderly couple...the woman couldn't even make it up my steps, so she waited at the bottom. And today, some young'uns from the Church of Jesus Christ. The standard answer has become, "I'm not interested, have a nice day."

I'm all for believing what you want and such, but is it really necessary for you to come to my door and read me lines from your books? Just put it away, I'm just not interested...in reading, books, or God.

Thank you and please DON'T come again.

Aliens?

I seem to have not posted for a really long time...what have I been doing? I feel like I'm missing some time. Was I abducted by aliens who took away my last five days? What is going on?

Happy Birthday Shello!

I'd just like to give a shout out to my pal Shello whose birthday is too soon to comprehend. You're a quarter of a century old, but you still look fabulous.

Kudos to you.

Why Am I So Cute?

It's tough being me.

Sleep Deprivation

2006-07-21T10:58:00.000-04:00

I haven't been sleeping very much or very well this week. Don't know what's up. I've been staying up way later then usual, and then when I want to sleep I can't. It's been a rough week. I think I need at least 7 hours a night to be sane and productive. I wish I was one of those people that could go on only a few hours of sleep. Maybe when I'm 50. It seems that older people sleep less...at least the ones that I know.

Brown and Red

2006-07-19T15:26:00.000-04:00

I'm eating red pepper strips. They're my favourite veggie to snack on.

I don't have any chocolate left in my drawer. That makes me a little sad. Maybe I'll go and get some.

Oh yeah, for those of you who I told I was having trouble finding a Nestle Crunch Bar, well I finally found one! And it was good!

Boredom:

2006-07-18T15:31:00.000-04:00

a reactive state of emotion that interprets the condition of one's environment as wearingly dull due to repetitive, non-existent, or tedious stimuli.

Me too!

2006-07-17T10:16:00.000-04:00

I thought about having a blog where all of us could contribute - but I hadn't looked into how to do it yet. I'm glad you did it. Yay!

Ah, Half Day Fridays

2006-07-14T15:17:00.000-04:00

So, I only have to work half days on Friday, so that means I finish at noon. It's all good, and I'm not complaining, but really what is the point of getting my ass out of bed for a measly 3 hours. What can you accomplish in such a short amount of time? I transcribed an interview today, but I felt rushed doing it. Then when I'm out of there, I end up going shopping for a couple of hours, it's either that, or come home and nap.

It's friggin hot today.

Over and Out

Hey look....I can post on your blog too...I didn't know I could do that. You have some delightful dots!

Twiddle Dee Dee

2006-07-13T13:53:00.000-04:00

Not much to do today. I've just been looking up stuff on the Internet and trying to customize my blog. It's too hot to go outside. I'm bored. Yay it's Thursday! Only half a day of work left to go!

I have a secret.

I keep chocolate in my desk drawer at work. I eat it when no one is looking.

And then there was the creation of my blog...

Welcome to my blog!
