Did I Really Just Spend All Day Backing Up My Lappy?

Yessiry, Bob!
Fun on a stick, this technology stuff.

So fun I'm gonna do a meme tonight that will take it all into a different realm:

***So the underlined book thing...not many as you can see. One big reason...I'm moving and this will be my second big move in as many years. I've gotten rid of more books than I can honestly remember owning (where do they come from? I think they multiply when we're not looking...or something...) So it's not that I'm opposed to owning books...it's just that it's so much easier NOT to have to move them. Of course there's also the fact that I've been working at a library for the last 8 months, really and truly lessening my need to "own" what I read :).

I keep losing parts of my post, so I'm going to fix this one last bit and give up completely...
I'm sitting here trying to figure out the purpose of this meme and it's kinda lost to me. I thought I had a brilliant realization, but Blogger seems to have eated it. Instead I'll just note that I've read a heck of a lot of books in my time due to the fact that I was an English Major as well as an English Teacher. Working at a library helps a great deal as well. As for crossing out a fairly popular book I've decided I'm not all that interested in reading The Kite Runner mainly because there are still 60-someodd holds on it, so I'll pass until the next James Patterson or Sue Monk Kid or whoever's book takes over. Silly, yes? I do these things....

(I've discovered the fun of colors, can you tell?)

Currently I'm down to the last three books I'll be checking out of the KB Library:

Everything is Iluminated - Jonathan Safran Foer
Naked Came the Manitee - A novel by a whole bunch of writers
The Big Over-Easy - Jasper Fforde

Chart-toppers, I know. After a day like today I want to turn off Lappy and flip pages. Who cares if it slows down my knitting...or I just won't knit at all...I'm 3/4ths of the way done with my first adult sock. No rush, my feet aren't growing anymore. Enough already with the computers and the more typing...it's raining outside and it's cold inside...maybe it's best for it to be bedtime already.
