Since tomorrow is Halloween, that means Midnight Sunday is that time of year again. That’s right, it’s NaNoWriMo time again. I shall be participating again. No clue what I plan to write. I’m kind of thinking that I want to write something similar to what I did a couple years ago. [...]

How can it be that it’s already the end of October?? Seriously. This has been a fast year. Not that I’m complaining much. I just wish that the days where I have nothing that I need to be doing, I could find something productive to do, rather than sit around and look at [...]

This is a post where-in our writer RANTS.
Okay, either you like sports or you don’t. Everyone makes that choice. We also make the choice of what team/players we root for. Correct? I think I’m correct. Now, I understand that some people feel the need to take it to the extreme, but [...]

Today should have been my parents 29th anniversary. Normally I don’t think much of it, but there have been so many people losing parents, siblings and loved ones lately that it’s been hitting me pretty hard. I’ve been keeping a low profile online lately. Been trying to be busy a lot in [...]

First – this was the 50th book of the year for me. 50th! I’m stunned. Sure, the majority are audio, but even still, I’ve been listening to audiobooks for years and never get to the 50 mark. I ended up with 31 in 2006, 39 in 2005 and 2004. A lot of [...]

Okay, life has a way of sneaking up and biting you in the ass when you least expect it. I owe you guys a picture. You shall have one.
I’m not a fan of it still. It blends in well enough when I pull it back that you can’t tell that [...]

I have now finished book 3 of the 7 that I chose for the DystopYA challenges! I quite enjoyed Little Brother. As a geek, it tickled my geeky side quite a bit. As a reader, however, it disappointed me. I felt that the Epilogue was tacked on just as an [...]

Social Tagging: Exact Time • Quite Some Time • Wasting My Time • Wrinkle Treatments
I hate wasting my time. I did that tonight and I’m incredibly annoyed about it. I was supposed to attend a meeting at 7:30. I got there early, since I wasn’t sure of the exact time. I waited around for quite some time. Finally went inside where the *other* meeting [...]

Social Tagging: Books • Choices • Disappointment • Fear • Feelings • Giver By Lois Lowry • Lois Lowry • Lois Lowry The Giver • reading • Sums • Truth
The Giver was a super quick read at 208 pages. It was a good book, but I’m not sure I understand why so many people think this is a must read. I can see encouraging youths to read it, but I wouldn’t say that it’s a must read.
From Goodreads:Jonas’ world is perfect. Everything [...]

The first book I chose for the DystopYA challenge(s) was The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I typically like YA, but this one? I absolutely LOVED.
From Goodreads:Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used be the United [...]

The homecoming game was fun. It was wet, loud and obnoxious, just the way I like it. Well, except for the wet part. We lost 26-12 and were being scouted by the team we play next week. I had fun, despite the rain. We left with 3 minutes left, but [...]

I have some extra money this week and since I’ve not really spent any significant amount on myself, I decided that I want to do something. I decided to get highlights done to my hair. I called today and made the appointment and asked how much, so I knew how much I had [...]

I read, a lot. I also listen to a lot of audio books.
What I don’t seem to get is why people think that audio books aren’t as time consuming as ‘real’ books. You spend just as much time listening to it as you would reading it, because it’s not being read any faster [...]

Social Tagging: Education • Great Friends • Leadership • Love • Masters Degree Online
When I was going to school and first started chatting online, I made friends with someone who went to Gonzaga University. They were great friends, getting a fantastic education and they raved about how wonderful the school is. Thanks to their ravings, I have always remembered Gonzga. I’d love to get my [...]
