That's done! And great news from GK!

Jul 09, 2012 00:55

The presentation on service dogs went pretty well this morning, despite the fact that I overslept. Snoozed right through my alarm, woke, caught sight of the clock, thought it said 10:43 (Church starts at 11) screamed, virtually levitated out of bed, looked again, saw that it was actually "only" 10:13, and calmed down, but did not slow down ( Read more... )

I think I switched on it when the Elvis impersonator was having a nervous breakdown.
Had to switch channels~~ too much for a Sunday night!

I felt really bad for that guy. He has mental issues, and his "friends" are a bunch of insensative clods. I really hope he can overcome his problems; the therapist wasn't too optimistic. Instead of getting his place cleaned out, they went for "minimalizing harm", so that it was at least functional. Time will tell...

once you've got the Nook you can load it with fanfic! one of the greatest things (imo) is that there's so much good stuff online for free, and AO3 especially makes it v. v. easy to snag the right format

Good to know. I've always been more of a writer than a reader, mostly because reading a computer screen *kills* my eyes/neck/back. And yet, I know there are thing out there that I'd love to read, IF I could do so comfortably.

I had to quit watching hoarding shows because it made me clean compulsively. Which is a pretty common effect of the shows, but we're talking cleaning with Q-tips, not a backhoe. It sent my OCD into overdrive.

Glad to hear your talk went well and you will love the Nook! I've had one for a couple of years and read constantly, although I don't spend much on books. There's almost always something good ridiculously cheap on the B&N website.

It's funny how differently people can react to things. If I had an awesome car, I might go the hot-spit-and-Qtips routine, but as far as the house goes, I'm doing good to knock the cobwebs down a couple times a year.

As far as the Nook goes, I figure AO3, Project Guttenberg and a pr0n site I've got lined up, in addition to some stuff XSO hooked me up with should keep me entertained for a good while.
