Bookeen Cybook

I have been playing and reading for 24 hours and I’m still way too enamoured of my new toy to give a sensible and dis-passionate review of it.

Simply put

IT ROCKS.

I’m completely converted to e-books. I ain’t never buying a print version again unless it’s not available on e-book.

I love my new toy.

I promise I will tell you all why at a later date. For now, I’m having too much fun!

Snoopy Dance

I got the job! *doing  little snoopy dance in celebration*

I won’t be able to spend as much time watching tv, reading or knitting but hey, I’ll be able to pay the bills this month! Woot!

Pacing

I’m bereft.

I sped through ‘Dead Man Rising’ and now I have to wait until Waterstones deposits the next installment on my front door which is going to take 3 - 5 days.

Dagnammit, why didn’t I pace myself. I have absolutley no discipline.

Now, I am going to have to distract myself with something else when all I want is to get on with the next installment of Dante Valentine’s twisted life. Humph.

Would re-reading the first book again be construed as overkill, obsessive perhaps? Ahh who cares, it’s a story. I’m loving it, I’m gonna re-read it.

 

Nada

No to the jobs. I think I am aiming too low.

Here goes another round of applications……sigh.

FO: Loop Scarf

So I finished the scarf I was making to distract myself from the Eternal Cardigan. My sister has been on my case about it so although I want to, I am NOT going to start on something with my fantastic Noro yarn that I bought the other day.

I’m thinking a hat, scarf and gloves set for me, this time. But I think I’d like to crochet the hat. Anybody point me in the direction of a nice hat pattern? I should just wait until I get into Ravelry. Only 2900 people to go in front of me. *sigh*

It did turn into a bit of a sausage which annoyed me, but it worked out quite well as you couldn’t see the wrong side then. My sister also said it made the scarf much cosier so a win all round.

If anyone wants the pattern, give me a holler in the comments. It’s really quite easy.

Finished Object: Loop Scarf

Yarn: Wendy Fusion in Juniper Berries (15

Needles: 5.5mm

Take Out The Trash Day

Bullet points of some wee things in my head.

• Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

Saw the first two episodes this week and was pleasantly surprised. I did see the original two-hour pilot and was bored rigid by it, so I am glad to see they improved it ten-fold by cutting it down, making it leaner and tighter. The second episode built on a solid introduction. I love Lena Headey in the title role. I have been a fan of hers from her early, early days. Linda Hamilton left some pretty big shoes to fill and I think she is doing that admirably. No doubt there will be all the Terminator aficionados who disagree. I’ll definitely be tuning in until Fox ruin it somehow.

• Torchwood.

I finally saw the trailer where John Barrowman frenches James Marsters.

Blew. My. Mind.

I can’t really say anymore than that at the moment.

• Prison Break

Season Three is definitely the season of LINC! He has really surprised me this season becoming much more than the one-dimensional, mono-syllabic grunt he has always been portrayed as. Who thought I would come round to the idea that Dominic Purcell could act. I still haven’t forgiven him for Blade III but I no longer loathe him. And he has put his pecs away. Finally!

• Two Pints Of Lager

A guilty pleasure which has returned but without Johnny! I am not sure how it’s going to survive without Johnny Keogh (Ralf Little) but I will watch it until it gives me a reason not too. Which hopefully won’t be anytime soon.

• One Tree Hill

K-Fed was not as awful as I thought he would be. I wonder if it’s really him singing?
