State of the Neko address: week 24, part 2

song+ Boots & Boys- Kesha- Animal
book+ Motor Mouth
scent+ pasta and cramy sauce
quest+ reading voraciously
upper+ i lovemy Kindle!
downer+ my body's been rather achey lately
attire+ work clothes
drink+ dr pepper


so i've had my Kindle since Tuesday, i've downloaded 33 books (most of them free) and finished reading four. xD i'm really enjoying the thing, though it's really not quite the same sensation as holding a book in my hands. it's nice to not have to walk to my bookshelf when i finish one and wanna start another.

some of what i have is new-to-me, but a lot of it is things i already loved and can't find/don't own. some things i sold to Half Price Books when i was unemployed, the color Fairy Books that i read growing up (but have only tracked down 5 of the 12 in actual book form), the Harry Potter books and tie-ins (which are packed away buried under everything else) and some other stuff too. xD yay books and stuff!

i think i've readjusted to being at work again. my first week back, i was all disconnected still, last week i was miserable for no conceivable reason. this week seems to be a more even keel. i'm getting things done at a respectable pace, and not spazzing when the minutiae are covered to death. the just-because-i-like you Kindle certainly doesn't hurt either though. xD

in other news, Kyu's paternal grandfather (Pop) is due to get some medical something (Angioplasty i think? maybe? i really should pay better attention) done Monday. since none of us (us= Wolfie, Suzy, Kyu and myself) can take the day off to be there, we're road tripping to Stephenville this weekend. i hope it goes well, but i'm more excited about the Dublin Dr Pepper we'll assuredly be picking up while there. xD it makes it worth fighting the carsickness for hours on end, and if we plan ahead, it could even last us through the next few weeks.. i wonder if i should write my name on mine so Kyu doesn't take them for himself.

Moose bought her new car last night, or at least put the down payment on it. she had Wolfie go with her to check it out and make sure she wasn't getting ripped off, so hopefully it's all good. i'm just glad i won't have to walk to work anymore. i'd forgotten how miserable it is walking on hot days with the sun in your eyes pretty much the whole way. i wonder if the new car has working a/c? at this point i still haven't seen it, so i couldn't even say what color it is or how many doors it has, much less what kind of car it is. *shrug* presumably it works though, Moose seems satisfied with it.

Were the Fairy books part of your free downloads? I would love to get those for my nook.

I saw you were listening to Boots and Boys by Ke$sha. One of my faves of hers, though I LOVE the whole album. Love it! Love it!!!

You know you can buy Dublin Dr Pepper at the corner store by my house as well as by the case at Costco right. I can pick some up for you the next time I go shopping.

the Fairy Books were indeed free, i got all but Olive at freekindlebooks.org if they're a format unreadable for Nook, try using Calibre (free software) to convert them. <3

and i love Dublins to an unhealthy degree, so as much as i wanna say yeah to your offer, i'll pass so i don't balloon to a gajillion pounds. xD
