Did You Ever Wonder?
I'm currently reading a book that was originally published in 1818 using the Aldiko Bookreader ap on my phone. It kinda makes me wonder if the author ever in her wildest dreams could have thought that people would still be enjoying her works nearly two hundred years later in such an unusual fashion...
Considering the fact that Frankenstein is considered by many to be the first critically acclaimed work of science fiction, I'm sure that Shelley would be amused.

My Computer Hates Me!
If this blasted machine turns itself off for no apparent reason one more time...
You get the picture!
I wish to hell that I knew why the fuck the damned thing keeps doing this.

I'm App Addicted!
I used to think that smart phones were just silly.
After all, who needs all of those things on a phone. Phones are for calling people...
Then I got one!
My little My Touch is just about everything I could possibly want, all in one little device!
I can play music and scrobble it REAL TIME!
I never have to pay for a ringtone again, because I've got an app that creates them from any mp3!
If there is any doubt in your mind, I'll clear it away right now. My phone rings MSG.
I've got word game apps, card game apps...
I can snap a photo with my phone's 5 MP camera and post it to my twitter account with my Twitdroid app.
My Weather Bug app keeps me up to date on all things nasty or nice on the weather front.
I can browse the web anywhere.
But the best app yet is the one that downloaded today...
The Aldiko Reader!
Fully adjustable so that my middle-aged eyes can read scads of free e books!
I'm starting with this one:
I've been wanting to read it for ages.

Why...
Do cars tend to break down in sympathy of one another?
Really! Michael had problems with the brakes on his car. His dad was going to fix them while he was away on a school trip. The car is all jacked up and ready to be fixed when dar-dar daddy realizes that he doesn't have a tool he needs to finish the job. He goes home to retrieve it.
Voila! HIS car breaks down!!!
Now I'm gonna have to tell Michael that his car probably won't be fixed until Saturday evening.
ARGH!!
At least I have one little bit of good news for him... His new phone arrived.

Happy Birthday, Grandama!
It's been two years since I was able to say those words to you directly. I miss you so much.

The Mice Will See You Now
If you haven't read this book, you probably think that I've lost my mind!
(I have, but that's entirely beside the point.)
I bought this book quite a while back, but didn't get around to reading it until now.
OMG! It's hilarious. A great work of humorous science fiction. Even if you don't particularly care for sci-fi, you'll love this one.
I'm telling you, you've gotta read it!
