Listening to Audio Books
I spend a lot of time in the car. It was a few years ago, while commuting from Sunnyvale to Daly City, that I discovered audio books. I quickly learned to disdain abridged books, finding that I would have to go reread the book, because I always knew I was missing something. I have listened to a lot of books. I go through so many audio books ( Read more... ) -
[Meta] I use filters
Live Journal has changed a bit. I guess with Twitter and Facebook, I just don't see the same traffic that I used to. That makes me sad, because I have long valued the relationships I have forged on Live Journal.
LJ does have some advantages over Facebook and Twitter and so I will keep posting to it. I use filters, some of which are opt in. ( Read more... ) -

They were such good friends of hers that they invited both of us to attend the convention as their guests (i.e. FREE). They were promoting their first book, which Tor was publishing. I enjoyed their company, finding them to ( Read more... ) -
Today I need Horoscope Wednesday (even if it's on Thursday!)
America's Republican Party has lost a lot of style points lately. Its national committee chairman Michael Steele even went so far as to say, "We need to uptick our image with everyone, including one-armed midgets." Your reputation isn't anywhere near as in need of rehabilitation, Leo -- in part because you don't make references about one-armed ( Read more... ) -
Happy Birthday to my seester!
I must wish a Happy, Happy Birthday to my seester*, ophymirage. I wish you the most felicitous natal day.
* seester is a term that has been blatantly stolen from tshuma and should be acredited thusly. -
I found this to be an interesting perspective on the whole vegan vs. vegetarian vs. omnivore thing
Nobody's hands are free from the blood of other animals, not even vegetarians, he concluded. Millions of animals are killed every year, Davis says, to prepare land for growing crops, "like corn, soybean, wheat and barley, the staples of a vegan diet."
