So uh..

I’m a reader, but I don’t normally sit and read several hundred pages in a single day. A couple dozen, then put it away is my norm.

However.

Stephenie Meyer – Twilight

TOTALLY different story. Rob picked it up Thursday afternoon from the library for me, and I’m almost done already.

Paperback: 544 pages
Current Page: 375

Yeah… And I put in a request for New Moon, so I should be able to start that Tuesday ;)

Living out in the middle of nowhere has advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that we still get some of our television by analog (over the air) antennae signal. Now as of February 2009, all stations must be digital. Why is this an issue? Some of us do not have the option of getting out stations via cable or satellite (aka digital) signal.

So, now we have to purchase set top conversion boxes in order to keep our local channels. That sucks, but at least they’re giving out coupon cards to take off $40 of the cost. Out of pocket, it will only cost approximately $10 each box. That’s not too horrible. I was expecting to be around $100 after the coupon. That means, I can take the money that I was thinking I would need for the boxes and put it towards a a plasma tv.

Now, the only problem with that is that I don’t know if there is any wall that can support a plasma tv mount. Perhaps the bedroom wall where the mirror is. The mirror is unnecessary, so I could take it down and not care. Though, I should use the money for other things. Practical things. It kinda sucks cuz I wanna splurge. Ah well. We’ll see.

I’d forgotten, in my massive music collection, that I have the soundtrack for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I wouldn’t have remembered for a while, except Rob has one of the tracks on his ipod. I have nothing on mine atm, so when we ran to the store today, we listened to his. It was nice to close my eyes and get lost in the familiar lyrics, singing along (badly I might add) and just really enjoying it.
