  • Fouled up my data on GoodReads

    I was trying to be clever and managed to delete most of my data on Good Reads. It’ll be sometime this weekend before I get it all re-imported.

  • Thursday evening

    22 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Dad got into town around 4 PM and got to Pentagon City about an hour and a half later, about the same time I picked Kelly up from work. We all sat around for a while, and then headed back to Pentagon Row for dinner at Sine (where I had a blackened tuna wrap and…

  • Science fiction harvest

    21 Aug 2008 » 2 min read about Reading & Books

    There are occasionally harvests in science fiction and I love when they arrive. Unlike a traditional harvest, science fiction harvests can arrive at varying times of the year. One arrived today, in the form of four books that I ordered from Amazon just a few days ago. I haven’t been reading much science fiction these…

  • Evening reading

    20 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Home around 4:20 and I did like I said (or tried). I read for a little while before falling asleep on the couch. Before I knew it, I was waking up to the phone. Kelly was on her way home. I picked her up, came back home, and we had dinner while watching the final…

  • Lunch at home

    19 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    I went home for lunch today. Kelly and I were lazy (read: still tired from the weekend) and I didn’t pack my lunch this morning. So around 12:15, I headed home, made myself 2 PB&J sandwiches, and lazed around for 40 minutes or so eating them. This afternoon, since I’m caught up on my workshop…

  • End of summer reading

    19 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Halfway through The Count of Monte Cristo and it’s dragging. I don’t want to give up on it, but I don’t want it to prevent me from getting reading done. It’s been a while since I’ve gone on a s.f. kick, and so this evening, I went to Amazon and bought 4 new books to…

  • House guests and meetings

    15 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Got home just after 4 PM yesterday and vacuumed the entire house, took out the trash and recycling, and tidied up a bit. Carmen arrived just as I was about to pick up Kelly. I dashed up to Pentagon City while Carmen waited patiently at the new place. When we got back home, we gave…

  • Order

    12 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Eventually, I’ll get there. I’m ready to start writing again. I’m bogged down in The Count of Monte Cristo but haven’t quite given up yet. I am not yet back at the gym regularly. My once good eating habits have mostly dwindled away. I haven’t ridden my bike into work yet. I could say that…

  • Chef salad

    07 Aug 2008 » 2 min read about Reading & Books

    Busy, even productive day at work today, even though I wasn’t feeling well. Made progress on several fronts and that felt good. After work I came home and worked on the wedding info website, which is going out on the info sheet with the invitations (probably next week). he11o_sunshine (who did our invitations) is helping…

  • Fever dreams

    05 Aug 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Sarah came over last night and hung out for a while. She left around 9:30 and I went right to bed. I had taken NyQuil around 8 PM. I was asleep before I hit the pillow. I slept fine until around 1 or 2 AM, and then I got restless. My throat was scratchy and…

  • eReader for the iPhone

    31 Jul 2008 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Since I mentioned upgrading my iPhone to the 2.0 software today, I should also mention that I downloaded the eReader application for the phone. I have always been on the fence about eBooks, not for any particular reason other than I like turning pages and having the book in my hand. But even with all…

  • Now you see it, and now you don’t

    29 Jul 2008 » 2 min read about Reading & Books

    We were up pretty early this morning. Kelly had to go into work, but I stayed home because I needed to be here for the cable guy. I made good use of the time. I got my books unpacked. There are 36 boxes of books and I managed to get most of them unpacked and…
