Help answer a question?

So I was thinking the other day... (Yes, you can cringe now.) And my thinking led to some wondering... So I figured I'd put this to my 4 or so regular blog readers (bless your hearts for coming back after so many months of boredom and silence), and see what you thought. Just a random, unscientific survey done here for nothing more than satisfying my curiosity and see if I'm actually as ignorant as I think I am.

So, the first question: Are you a writer?
And the second question: Where did you first hear about e-books? (Or have you not heard of them?)

That's all. :)

Thought for the day

Does a man's manhood have to be straining his jeans in order for him to be sexy?

I've got my own thoughts on the subject, but I'm curious what everyone else thinks.

Oh, and a quick clarification - I was exaggerating in yesterday's post. I don't really know anyone who sprouted trees in their lungs.

Cheater Cheater

This whole audio book thing has opened my eyes to who I really am: a Cheat Reader.

Despite the fact that I'm listening to the book, rather than reading it in paper and ink format, I find myself itching to flip forward a few pages to see what happens. To peek near the end, presumably to see how many pages long the book is, knowing I'll "accidentally" spy that happily ever after, to remind myself that the payoff is coming. Or I'll steal 3 minutes of reading time in between my shower and the time I have to leave for work in the morning, knowing I can re-read if I want, but not wanting to manipulate my iPod to rewind those three minutes once I get home again tonight and have time to devote all my attention to it. So I know what's coming. Because I can't wait to just let it happen all on its own.

It just gets worse every day. First I discover I'm a book whore, then I find I'm a cheat reader. It's a wonder I can live with myself.

P.S. Today's another holiday - Happy Ides of March! Why we celebrate Caesar's death-by-betrayal is beyond me, but if you've got a Little Caesar's nearby, why not pop in for a celebratory pizza lunch? That's what we always did in Latin class in high school, anyway. Yummy.
Er, maybe that's supposed to be Beware the Ides... I'll let you decide.
