  • Have you heard of Library Thing? I just found out about it the other day. I’ve spent the last few hour or so entering my books. For a big bibliophile like me, it is just awesome. You can basically keep a virtual list of all your books, or everything you’ve read, or everything you want to read. So far I’ve entered almost 100 books and I’m not even through one bookshelf yet. The system tracks what you enter and uses the entries to make recommendations. It also calculates the rarity of your collection and the average age of your books. This is gonna take a while because I have a LOT of books. But if you want to track my entries, you can see my “catalog” here.


    So is anyone here reading my webcomic? Because I’d really like to hear some opinions, even if it’s to tell me I stink.


    Bye for now… I have to get back to going through my books.

  • Well… it’s been about nine months since I last posted. Sorry about that. Not that I’ve been busy or anything, well over the holidays, yeah, but not for nine months! heh My old computer did offer me up the blue screen of death. So I had to replace it. That wasn’t fun, and it certainly wasn’t inexpensive. I’ll definitely never get a Dell again. It only lasted four years. The Gateway I had before it lasted eight years, and the Packard before that lasted eleven. So I got an hp again, with a flat screen and all-in-one printer. It definitely takes up a lot less room. When I first bought a computer I spent about $3000. I would have thought by now that the price would have gone down somewhat, but no, not that much. I spent a little over $1700, though with rebates it came down to about $1400. Still that’s way too much. Why does everything cost so much? Like I needed another bill? I just bought a “new” used car before my computer went.


    Wow, I just realized all my smilies are gone. When did Xanga kill the smilies? :( No fair. What will I do without Cthulhu? Image hosting by Photobucket


    I can tell you probably why I stopped posting, and that was because I was too tired on allergy meds to stay on long. Then it was gearing up to the holidays so no time to come online aside from necessities. Then I fell down the stairs and really hurt my back. It still hurts if I sit too long. And I haven’t been dreaming too much. Though I did just have a short dream the other night that I had a really nasty customer on the phone at work and when I tried to put him on hold, I accidentally hit a transfer button that teleported him in the arctic ocean near Russia where he drowned. Blub blub blub. hehe Oh and last night, I dreamed that there were giant bugs all over the place and I kept trying pick them up off of the things I was trying to use. Most of them were grashopper types, but I tried to put my shoes on and a gigantic centipede crawled out. Gah, I can’t stand them, but I just let it crawl out and then put my shoe on. No need to kill a dream centipede; it’s the real-life versions that make me want to throwup.


    Well, I can’t promise that I’ll be more active here, but I’m going to try. I’m thinking about starting up the Ancient Whispers Newsletter again too, maybe even as a real magazine rather than an E-zine.
