hi! I really need to sleep, but I wanted to fire off a quick post.

I  really really hope I can get things reorganized here over the next week or so! I do have a lot to do, but I am sick of talking about it & ready to get it working.

I really hope/plan to get involved in more book-blogging.

Hope y’all are doing well! Wisb me luck. ;)

Readathon 2009 question

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Fellow readers:

Do y’all read in silence or do you have music playing in the background? Any noise at all?

Just curious!

I keep music on in the background.

A late “Getting to Know You” post for the 24readathon

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

I’m in South Carolina. :)

3 facts about me…
1.) When I was a kid & before I could read - I used to carry books around & read to myself. These stories were complete jibberish. :) I used to take crayons & cross out the lines & “write” my own story. My parents kept recordings & I wish I had them. I used to entertain myself for hours. :)

2.) I’m 29 years old. The big 3-0 is later this year!

3.) I *always* have a book, journal & pen with me.

This is my first year & I’m slow starting today - but I’m here for the rest of the day. Hope everyone is having fun! Enjoy yourself!

24-hour Readathon

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

I know the links on the right aren’t properly working & extremely out of date! Please ignore that for now.

This is my first year participating in the 24hourreadathon. I’m quite excited! I’m a little behind getting started, but I started in hour #3.

The goal is to finish “The Song is You” by Arthur Phillips first. Then move on to “Drood” to Dan Simmons. (Halfway through both)

Have fun everyone! :) Enjoy your day!!

I want to go on vacation!

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

I wish I could wake up on a beach somewhere today! That was my first thought today!

My main goal for today is to:
1) Finish reading more of the 3 books I’m reading.
2) Catch up on Netflix rentals.
3) Clear up Monday night shows off of tivo. (House & Castle are left. Already watched Heroes, The Big Bang Theory, erc)
4) Catch up on emails.
5) Clear up the links here! Yikes. :)
6) Get birthday cards.

That is it for now.
I really wish I had some interesting story to tell today! I don’t - at least not now.

Hope everyone has a great day!

A storm is coming - ergh! Perfect weather for reading with a cup of tea

Did anyone else watch it last night on ABC? Opinions? :)

TiVo guilt….

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Hi! I do have some catching up to do. The links still aren’t updated.

Hello. My name is Libby. & I have “TiVo guilt”. Right now, I’m watching Lost. <3 Huzzah for. TiVo!! I crashed earlier tonight, so I would have missed it. What did we ever do before TiVo? Funny..There are posts here I wrote in 2002. About hrm, 2 whole years before I knew about tivo. Now… I have “Tivo guilt”. *hangs head in shame*

What is “tivo guilt”? A friend linked me to an article about it. I need to find it! It basically means I feel obligated to watch what it records. I didn’t know there was an actual word for it. No, I don’t have it do the “tivo suggestions” thing where it records things it THINKS I would like. That would drive me batshit crazy.

I record stuff & keep it. If the show is really a favorite - it is watched asap. But other things I do want to see, but haven’t… Well, I think, “Hey, I could watch it one night when I can’t sleep. I should keep it. I could still watch it.” So, after a bit… No space! So it deletes things. (Only my faves are marked “do not delete unless I say”)

Why am I making an entire blog post about this??

Right now, I have my regular Wednesday night shows recorded. Lost, Criminal Minds (I’m new to this. Quickly becoming a favorite! I recently started renting season 1 from Netflix) House, Better offTed, Scrubs, Stargate Continuum, & a rental from Amazon-unbox. (Transporter 3 for anyone that cares) There are various other sitcom-reruns & whatnot I have recorded, but not really “high priority”.

Help? ;)

Anyways! The only days I really have space issues are Mondays & Thursdays.

Which means… I need to clear some space! ;)

Wow.. Did anyone read this??

trying again! :)

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Hi everyone! I’m attempting again. I’m really excited about getting this working again! I can’t believe I have posts going back to 2002! That really freaks me out. I have not ventured into those posts yet. Another time! ;) Times have changed.

This is my last year of my 20’s. This freaks me the HELL OUT!

I have three years worth of babbling to catch up on. Get ready! ;)

I know no one knows this is back up yet. Forgive all the “pages” & links on the right over.there. Very very outdated!

A HUGE thanks to Jeffrey!!
