Deep In The Forrest

This day started out with extreme thunderstorms, all through the night. Some reported having trouble sleeping through the noise of the thunder and heavy rain, but not me. I slept like a log. Further through the day, I have been in the mood to listen to books on audio. There's just something relaxing about listening to someone read a story or a book. Not that I mind reading myself, as there are times and places that I love to revel in the silence and frolic in that land limited only by my own imagination while reading a great written work. Therefore, at lunchtime, I listened to a bit of my copy of Jack Kerouac's "On The Road", narrated by Matt Dillon (which I will overlook in the interest of enjoying Kerouac's story). lol As well, I found a website called Librivox.org , which is a site where users can Volunteer to read volumes and contribute these, and of course all of these are offered for listening free. It's worth a look if you like audio books. Ok on more t...

Pushing deadlines, that's what I am doing today... That and looking forward to the arrival of my Refurb. Blackberry, which is scheduled to arrive tomorrow! Yay... I know it's refurbished, but hey, I figure that they probably did a good job on it, and I liked the style. It is a wider phone, so no more fatal toilet-incidents hahaha (hopefully).

We'll see... so I get a fruitilicious "Crackberry", and I'll finally find out what the fuss is all about. Headed over to Pickled Beef (Tink's fine Blog), and got the 4-11 on the 2009 ideas for the Weekly Words Challenge (WWC). Seems everyone has some cool notions on how to spice it up a little, and it's sure to be even more fun. Our first WWC for 2009 will be to post up our favorite photos from 2008 . She state...

I've been doing lots better this afternoon, and I am having a nice cup of spiced Chai (which you should probably know is a Hindi word for "Tea". It's my favorite kind, black tea with the "Masala" spices. I'll leave it to you to look those up if you want to find out, or just go and buy the Lipton brand of "Spiced Chai" at the store. I've been looking around the NaBloPoMo Randomizer and seeing alot of other interesting lil' blogs out there... Kudos to all of you guys! It's fun trying to post every day this month. I post a lot anyway, so it's not that much of a stretch for me. As I sat here over my afternoon cup of Chai I was thinking of a few things. First of all, if my Mother got all technical and had a computer, would she blog? And if she did I wonder what she would blog about? That would be really neat if my Mother blogged... I wish at least I could e-mail her, but my parents have never been very 'cutting edge', and...
