I'm Behinder Than I Thought

Today I had coffee with a good friend and, in the course of conversation, I mentioned that my habit of reading 3 books at a time wasn't working right now. I told him that there were like 6 books that I have only partly read. When I got home I started looking around and counting these partially finished books because I thought that I might have mis-guessed (you know, give or take one or two)

Oy!! My list of unfinished books is an even dozen!! (This isn't even counting the two comic series that I started reading this summer - Marvel's Civil War and DC's 52 )

The only "book" that I have actually been reading is Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. And it looks like I'll finish it. After that its back to Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern.

Pardon My Rant

i haven't posted in a couple days because i have been using all my "blogging energies" to "rant". Well, actually i've been involved in engaging political discourse in my second language under a second blogger account.

I LOVE THIS COUNTRY!!!

Get Involved!!

Whether you're for something or against it, you have to get involved in the process. If you do nothing, then you forfeit your right to complain.

Will Fred Phelps PLEASE SHUT UP!

Why in the world does Fred Phelps feel SO compelled to spread his hatred of the whole world? That clown is bending over backwards to give all Christians a black eye.

This lady is much more gracious about the whole Westboro Church thing than I am.

The only funny (?) thing about all this is that Fred Phelp's own actions prove that his [ultra-Calvanist] doctrine is incorrect.

But is the Beta really "betta" ?

i would hardly consider myself a "technophobe" but Blogger recently has been challenging me.

i'm rather hesitant to try the Blogger "Beta". It has always seemed to me that every time that i've been "encouraged" to use a "Beta" version of some software it was because the software was "not ready for primetime" and they needed a few more guinea pigs before going with full release.

i'm not really in a hurry to try this. i must be getting old...
