currently in june (and updated)

I remember the French Drain Project. Gracie had what looked like toenails growing out of the top of her head a bit ago. Turned out to be a scab from an injury – coon related I think. It came off and then she had a bald spot, but the hair is coming back. I didn’t document it in photos either.

Definitely Kindle. It’s the only e-reader company (Amazon) that doesn’t have a strong possibility of being bankrupt and out of business soon.

o man. i really really cannot do the ereader thingy. if the physical book is not in my hand, i can’t concentrate. you’ve got some adorable men folk there!!

I have got the kindle app for my ipad and love it! The only thing with ebooks is, where do you get the author to sign the book? On your ereader screen? Hmmm, not sure about that one. Is the cat in your last cat picture Stella? She looks just like my Fat Cat. Cute! Take care,

How very exciting about your e-communication with TR Pearson! They are going to make library books available to borrow on one’s Kindle soon. I can’t wait for that. I have finally got myself to stop buying things without downloading a free chapter first. I love that I can read my Kindle on all the exercise machines at the gym. It is terrible for pictures and formatted text like poems still though and not back lit so you can’t read it in the dark, though I think that is a feature that is available now. The Nook always had that. How odd about Stella. Hope the vet visit is totally uneventful. It is sort of funny to think about life before Doctor Who and life after. I think about various episodes all the time. Enjoy True Blood! And best wishes for completing the gutter project without incident. Lately I prefer all my drama to be on the screen.

I love my IPad -well, most of the time. I have both Kindle and Nook apps on it . They both work great !

I have a Kobo reader. I like it just fine. The only thing is does it hold ebooks. That is all I would like for it to do. My only issue is mine doesn’t make light so I can’t read in the dark.

RYN: Yes, I know! I always ask Fat Cat how he is keeping his whites so white. He just looks at me and won’t share his secret. Cats are amazing, aren’t they? Take care,

RYN: Funnily enough I was operating the same system – and it’s not been working out too well for me either!! I did the same with Stephen’s books too – no idea what stopped me as well – I remember really enjoying them. I know I picked up a couple he wrote after the accident and thought they weren’t as good but that’s not really fair and he may well have had a hiatus straight after where things weren’t so hot because it sounded like a pretty horrific accident. I think I may well start up with him again from the beginning – be fun to see how his writing has developed over the years. (Although I’m kind of exhausted just thinking about that because he’s written so many!!)

I like the orange trim! I love the way cats can sleep literally ANYWHERE and apparently be in a deep sleep as well – maybe Stella just got bored and thought what can I do to liven things up around here …….. oh I know I’ll grow a THING! Hope it’s a harmless thing though. I remember reading an article recently in Writing magazine stating so many authors were going down the e-publishing road – it was the thing to do and makes sense. I’ve resisted the whole e-reading thing so far – doesn’t seem natural to me and I can’t see it giving the same pleasure as books but that’s very much a sticking-head-in-the-sand type of attitude – I should at least try it out first before deciding.

My grandmother had a kind of spike on her neck. Turned out to be a squamous cell carcinoma. They are easy to remove. Sorry I didn’t tell you I added you. Was in the long-term plan! I’m so glad I found your diary and will be back.

PS: I love that shade of orange!

The claw sounds extremely creepy. Ew. I hope none of my creatures get it. And I hope whatever it is, Stella is OK. Cat pictures are always a treat. Isn’t it crazy how they dangle sometimes?

ryn: Thank you for visiting, Uh Clem.

To answer your question, I have a Kindle and I love it! I thought it might be difficult after looking at a computer screen all day but it’s totally different. And I like that you can download a sample for free before buying the entire book. Hope Stella (aka Spike) is OK. I’m always imagining strange things as a Doctor Who episodes now. Or Torchwood depending on how weird it is.

my daughter and i love our nooks! two of my sisters love their kindle. more books with a nook. my daughter borrowed a book from the local library on her nook. hope that thing on stella’s tail is harmless. take care,

What an interesting home. I love it!

Father Ted is a bit much to take. I’m almost done with Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

OK, in segments, because you always have so much to say, it takes a bit to get all my thoghts: NOOK> Trust my husband. He’s really smart about this stuff. Although…. I like amazon, so me personally without him, would probably have chosen the Kindle. I think the athletic people are somewhat like military people; I exercise all the time, so I can eat whatever crap I want, and it won’t hurt my beltline.. until they hit 40. Yes. Very creepy about the cat. I love your pictures. My husband is a Doctor Who fan, but I can’t say I’ve ever seen ANY of them.

I have a Kindle. I rank it right up there with coffee ice cream slathered in hot fudge with bananas, whipped cream, nuts and a cherry on top. And, when I was teaching at the Univ. (a course all potential tchrs, either grad. or undergrad were reqd to take for state cert.) I remember coming across some research showing that PE majors carried the lowest GPAs of all areas so the fast food makes sense now, doesn’t it? And believe me, after I left the ivory tower and went into the field, the research was spot on.

RYN: you know what makes me laugh? Sister is very insistent to her 2 boys along the same lines. Just goes to show she is in the grip of something very powerful.

Congratulations on the Kindle! I bet you’ll love it. I find it so much easier on my looking at screens all day tired eyes. regarding True Blood, do you remember Franklin from the books? You may not have gotten to him yet. I’m thinking he may have been there but only as a very minor character. Poor Tara, she just doesn’t get a break.

Strange thaat your Athletic Dept personnel eat so poorly. At UNL the Athletic Dept. had a special cafeteria for the athletes which was way nicer than the other student cafeterias. The Athletic cafeteria had a huge selection of food, steak, huge salad bar, just anything you might want and was open to the public. All you can eat for $8. I used walk down there once in a while for a feast as it was very good food.

It’s been so long, and yet I feel like I never left you. I sooooooo look forward to reading your entries. Hope to catch up soon. Love creepy cat shit.

Don’t think I want to see the tail. It sounds really weird.

RYN: Frustratingly couldn’t send him a text because the partner’s texts came from his phone so she must have got hold of it or was going through it – what a way to live! I did find his profile on PlentyofFish though – as part of it he had ‘honest’ and ‘trustworthy’!!!! I couldn’t resist a message saying “Honest???? Trustworthy???? Seriously??” Wish I hadn’t now though – pretty pointless really.<br> I’ve often done that with a film as well – got about a third of the way through then suddenly exclaimed “I’ve SEEN this!” And I was busy telling someone to get Memento out because it was really good and Christopher Beale was in it who was in The Machinist and then it came through from Lovefilm and I realised Christopher Beale was nowhere near it ……. Honestly!

The claw thing is very odd. My son is athletic and doesn’t like to eat too much fast food. Maybe it was a treat day. I so need to get back into reading.

OOOhhhhh! Yes, that is really creepy….*shudder*. I hope that it is something simple as Web Woman suggested. She could do some damage if she really swished her tail about…*smiles*

I rather like the trim in orange. Boring work days are the pits. Hope some excitement arrives. Oh, and Father Ted is … weird. I know so many friends who love it but I simply don’t get it. There must be something wrong with me!

I was hoping for a picture of the claw tail! I’m on goodreads, too. They’re very slow in turnaround.
