Yes, James, even more dorkiness.
Joy! Joyful spasms of joy! Oh, bursting bubbling happiness boiling with joy!
You know when you wish for something over and over again and you make do with other things but still wish for that one thing and then all of a sudden BAM you get it out of nowhere? I've been wishing and wishing and wishing that there existed some vast trove of audiobooks available for easy simple download from the internet for MONTHS. I searched and I tried to find podcasts reading stories and I just couldn't find enough. I bought one here and there but they're so damn expensive, and I took one out of the UCF library but they have such a limited selection. I was going to make do, but my heart (and work-bored brain) still desperately yearned for something more...
Then my Australian penpal friend answered my wish, unprovoked and out of the blue: http://librivox.org/
AGAIN: JOY SPASMS.
There are literally over 1000 audiobooks there for free and easy legal download! They're mostly old classics or historical or philosophical but those are things I'd rather listen to while bored at work than read on my free time, anyway. The Wizard of Oz! Little Women! Nietzche! Aristotle! Francis Bacon! Peter Pan! I can't even express how much better the next year and a half of this godawful mind-numbing job just got... I CAN HAS BOOKZ!1!!~~~!!!!!
K, I'm done. :)
