RL (likely boring) stuff...
Nov. 13th, 2007 07:24 pmTired. Work is going well but is very, very busy. I'm trying to take most (if not all) of next week off so am squeezing 2-weeks worth of activities and meetings into one week. Ugh! Plus I've got 2 major doctor appts this week as well.
Everyone is coming over here for Thanksgiving and I haven't even begun to think about that. Probably won't until Tuesday.
Worked from home today. Got a lot done. But around 1pm my eyes got so cross-eyed from eye strain that I went out to lunch and mall for a couple of hours just to get myself away from the damn computer! Was good--browsed at a book store. Next best thing to the ocean for recharging my batteries.
Over lunch I finally opened up and started reading the book about the creation of the iPod. Book is called "The Perfect Thing." I really enjoyed the first 2 chapters. The author uses the iPod to talk about how technology has changed and will change our lives. And the iPod is symbolic of and (he claims) partly responsible for that change. Given that I'm an iPod fanatic, an Apple fangirl, and I represent the embodiment of lot of his arguments--he may have a point. Hopefully I can get over my ADD (induced by way of technology BTW) long enough to actually sit down and read a real book so I can finish this one.
When I was leaving home to go to lunch I looked through my house for a "real" book to take with me to read over lunch. I wanted a book that was silly, fun, maybe a little trashy. Definitely not "serious." I was bummed to see that most of the books I've purchased the last 2ish years are all "serious" books! Nothing silly or trashy at all! I guess that's because I do all my "relaxing" reading online. I get my fix there. I did have the SPN book Nevermore--but had already read it. Didn't yet have Witch's Canyon (which BTW I bought at the bookstore I visited after lunch.)
/end musing, rambling, RL, whatever.
