What do I have on order? The most recent season of Big Bang Theory. Can't wait to see it! [livejournal.com profile] ninjababe and I mainlined the first few seasons this summer. I find it very annoying that they don't release DVDs at least a month or so prior to the next season starting, but that's how it is. Also have IM II on order. Squee! Yeah, it wasn't as good as the first one, but we still really enjoyed it.

We now have HDTV! And it's actually niftier than I'd anticipated. It's so pretty! The downside is that we lost all the shows we had yet to watch when the DVR was switched out. So I may have to but the most recent season of House since we were like 8 eps behind.

No one wants to talk to me. Or my email and/or LJ is broken. No comments or replies at all, and something like 4 emails total today.

It has been very nifty seeing a few of my stories come up in the 30 Day meme going around. It always surprises me. I'm not a trendy writer, I don't write what the majority reads, in fact, I hit all the things they say you shouldn't ever do if you want people to read you - I follow my own strange piper [g] And yet, I have readers, and as an added bonus, readers who make me a part of their 30 Days. Isn't that kewl?

Sort of weird stuff at work. Not bad weird, just head scratching go figure weird.

I walked to the park today again at lunch and read an actual book (I'm really beginning to think I want a Kindle)! We're still under the 100 mark, so I took advantage. Then two pit-bull mixes ran at me, and then proceeded to give me a slobber bath, much to the horror of their owner, who was certian I was going to freak.

There was something else, but I forgot!

My daughter text messaged me today that she wants a kindle for her birthday the end of September. She saw mine and now she has to have one.

I wonder how many people are looking to see if their stories are coming up on the meme *g*.

I haven't had that many emails today either. Or LJ comments.

Pit-bull slobber bath?
They must have wanted their kitteh taste fix.

We ended up with HD when Comcast switched from Analog to Digital only in our area. (We had been accessing the HD local channel feed off the analog, but switching to digital shut that down.)
We will probably go the DVR route when the MBR TV is updated to handle HD.

Hello, random list post!

I want a Kindle but I want them to get still a bit cheaper.

With Barnes&Noble now also doing poorly I wonder whether we will still have any regualr bookstores 5 years from now.

Ooh yes, get a Kindle - or maybe one of the readers that read multiple formats - I've got an Astak EZ Reader which can open almost everything under the sun: txt, doc, html, epub, lit, you name it, plus I can listen to audiobooks on it. mobileread.com is a good place to check for advice on which reader to buy.


Huh, I just noticed the Facebook and Twitter buttons below the entry box. Is that new? I can already see the complaints.

You know we love you!

When is IM II coming out on DVD? I haven't been able to find out!

I really like the new graphite one.

Just seemed a really slow email day.

Hellooo!! I think there will be bookstores, but probably more like the bookstores when I was a a kid. Little, intimate ones, and the mega stores will be online. I guess we'll see.

Oh, an e reader is a long way out in the future. The Twitter/Facebook thing is brand new today.

It's been a blessing for me since I didn't have to drag all my textbook with me. The prices are still falling: there was one brand that just issued a reader for under $100.

I already hate this option; I don't want to connect my LJ to facebook. :( There's already over a 1000 comments on the news comm (http://news.livejournal.com/129190.html).

No, it doesn't. I can go to your flocked post, quote a part of it in my comment, and post it on Facebook/Twitter, and you have no power to stop me. There is no "disable" setting in your account options, only options to connect Facebook and Twitter to your LJ. Once these networks are connected, people can make crossposting default behavior. FAQ is here (http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=279), and the extension settings here (http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=extensions).

Also, your xover/au (http://ithildyn.livejournal.com/tag/fic%3A%20xover%2Fau) tag no longer works, and neither does anybody elses tag with a slash because the slash character is now illegal in tags. I don't remember getting a notice about that, do you?

I really need to start watching Big Bang theory, lots of good people recommended it - guess I'll start soon, since they stopped a re-run of ER on one of the channels, there is absolutely nothing to watch on TV:(.

Sitting in a park with an actual book... *sighs dreamily*. There is something from Jane Austen in it, don't you think?:)

An actual book? Lovely. And in the park too? Sounds like a good time :)
