AAUW Book Sale

AAUW book sale this Saturday 5/31 at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds. I donated five boxes of books, so go buy them.

Bigger Mike

I hit the cookies pretty hard during the recent long, hard winter. Now I'm trying to hit the gym even harder -- to avoid Dunlap's Syndrome (that's when your belly has done lapped over your belt).

(I appreciate zaftig, but it's not a look I care to sport myself ;-)

I will derive!

Techno-lust 3: env phone

I recently got an LG ENV phone. It has a keyboard that is just large enough for my big fingers.

Now I need to figure out what do with my old (circa 2005) Samsung phone.

Techno-lust 2: Asus Eee PC

Asus Eee 4G-Galaxy 7" PC -- $400.

Techno-lust 1: Sony Reader

I played with a Sony Reader at Border's today ($300). Very nice. I like its form factor better than the Kindle. You have to jump through some hoops to get it to work with a Mac, unfortunately.

It's supposed to work fine with Project Gutenberg. That is a real plus for me, since I enjoy reading "classics" but am trying to drastically reduce my book clutter.

Only 68% (!)

Review: Forgetting Sarah Marshall

A great comedy about people getting out of ruts in their lives. Ebert's review.

Another "credit cookie"

Iron Man has a nice credit cookie for those who read a lot of comics back in the day.

They have a forum for Montana: http://www.city-data.com/forum/montana/

Like NetFlix, but for books

I've never used this service, but it looks interesting: Paperspine.

Of course, the library stocks plenty of books. Then again, the library also stocks DVDs - but people still pay $ to NetFlix... It offers more convenience and selection (no driving to the video store, etc).

Clutter control

Has your stuff become clutter? Here are some suggestions:

1. Give stuff away via Freecycle. It's an excellent way to get rid of stuff that's not trash, but that's not useful to you.

2. Read Unclutterer Blog for inspiration.

3. Be thankful clutter is not controlling your life, as it does for some people.

Full frontal movies

"Forgetting Sarah Marshall" has a semi credit cookie: don't leave until you've seen the "Animal Instincts" scene.

"Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay" has an NPH credit cookie.

Yikes!

Cell phone

Maybe I'll upgrade to an LG 9900.
