I would be the first to admit that I am a computer junkie!  😛 Gimme a decent rig with decent games and you can let me have fun for hours upon hours. Of course, one could do the same with books or movies. That reminds me… need more shelf space for all my books and movies.…
Back to basics… I love to read. Fantasy, non-fiction, history, ponderings… doesn’t matter. Have a ton of magazine subscriptions and always have 4-5 books on my “currently reading” list and a dozen on my gotta get to soon list. I like to write. Have never completed anything. The fragments I keep are pretty good, though I…

A while back I was listening to a show on journal keeping. Some of the guests were concerned that people who keep an electronic journal might lose those precious memories fairly easily. While I agree that it is much easier to lose things on the computer it is also easy to lose a paper journal…
Bought some computer books. Felt dirty after. Maybe it is cause I told myself earlier this morning that I would not buy any books?
Is this the book club for militia members? It has such classic titles like: “The SAS Self-Defense Handbook”, “The SAS Fighting Techniques Handbook”, “Handguns 2002”. It just needs to add germ warfare and how to make an atomic bomb to really unmask the true nature of the book club. Maybe this is just me, but I…
