I don't know that we have it here in Aussie Dan :( I'll have to find a friend that has it on DVD so I can borrow it.
LOL...I thought it was just us Americans that called it Aussie. Are you sure you guys don't get it?? Well, I'm sure you can find it on DVD. That's actually what I did. I didn't start watching it till this year and I went out and bought seasons one and two on DVD. Now I'm hooked, I watch the DVDs all the time.
Haha nah we do too! I'm pretty sure it's not on free to air, but it's probably on cable which I don't have :/
It's 1:48am. I slept from 8pm till a little while ago and I actually feel really good. Ready to hit my books. The house is quiet, I love being up in the middle of the night.
It's almost Friday, guys. Hang in there.
It's almost Friday, guys. Hang in there.
6 a.m. EST Laid down yesterday sometime between 3 and 4, fully crashed out around 6 last night, and while I've been up a couple times, feeding the cats, shooing them off my dresser and clothes, etc (they hate when I'm not awake and paying attention to them), I more or less just finally woke up about 20 minute ago. After basically being awake for 30 hours, I needed that! I also dreamed all night, crazy dreams! The one I remember best was from two wakings ago where I was at some sort of school - not sure if it was just boarding school or a university - but didn't realize what kind of school it was until in a class when something freaked me out and I was staring at a torch to calm myself down and when I calmed, the torch went out, and I thought "cool, wonder if I can relight it" and when I concentrated this HUGE plume of fire shot up and then the teacher accidentally was caught in the magic and lost his glamour and transformed into his normal appearance, and I have no idea what he was. He was about twice the size of a normal person, and his legs and one arm were coated in fur of some kind. Crazy. I'd like to go to that school, though, 'cause they let me keep my cats in my room... :-)And also? While it was gorgeous and warm yesterday, it's freakin' cold again this morning. now I have to turn the heat back up again... *sigh*
10.42pm lying in bed in so much pain - did my back in at kickboxing :( nearly broke my thumb on mon night - apparently not my week!
Oh, geez, Michelle, so sorry to hear that :-( Wish I could send you some Sore No More to run on the achies. It works really well if you can find it. Hope you feel better soon!7:27 a.m. EST all caught up on e-mail and ready to finish my book! TTYL!
8:18am. Kids are off to school, and I'm about to make another coffee. First day of my week off to read A Storm of Swords... I mean study. Kidding of course... it won't take me a week to finish A Storm of Swords ;)
9:43 a.m. EST Just finished Gone by Randy Wayne White and it. Was. AWESOME!!!! Now I'm trying to decide which book to read starting with the letter "I". I was going to read another Vine book, but the only one I have starting with "I" sounds too depressing and I'm not in that mood right now... So, it's between one I've wanted for almost 2 years and finally received in September, or one that's coming out next week that I could post an early review... and I ... I can't decide!!! I'm also hungry, which isn't helping things. Yesterday's lunch is all digested and now I want something to eat but I don't know what, and it's not like there's much around here anyway. Guess I'll have some carrots. And it's cold and raining. I want yesterday's warm sun back!! So, that's where I am...
9:07 AM and I am finally working an opening shift. This means I will be home in time to cook dinner and spend time with my son before he goes to sleep. Michelle I hope you feel better soon, Kickboxing, Wow. That sounds like fun, but I think I will keep to my books. Paper cuts hurt less.:-)
In the book buying mood, but still can't seem to focus on reading much of anything, even audio still. Got to get back into the swing of things. My challenge widget is going to start mocking me soon.
10:16 a.m. EST Decided on Christine Amsden's The Immortality Virus. I noticed I have a second book of hers in my review queue, so I'll follow with that even though it will duplicate a "T". Oh, well. Other than that, just crunching on carrots!
It's 1:18 p.m. and I'm doing laundry.
2:39 p.m. EST Had Steak 'n' Shake for lunch. Much better. Reading. Trying to figure out how, exactly, one sells USED e-books and digital music. My head is trying to explode from the recursiveness of this...
Mod
Sorry that you're not enjoying the collection very much Janie.
It's 4:28 PM and I have actually been home since 2. It was a really slow day at work so I left early. Been cleaning the apartment and spending time with my wife and son. Got our friend coming over for dinner and I have got cooking yet to do. Having a good day, it's really nice so I thought I would share. Hope all are well out in Goodreads Land.
Awesome Chris; glad you're having a good day! :-)

7:18pm EST. Just got home and am about to eat dinner. Apparently there is a major blizzard coming in my area and it's going to be really really bad!
Well, hope to get some reading done tonight. LOL.
Uh-oh Dan! At least if you get stuck inside, you have your books, right? LolWe've had rain here all day.
Chris, glad your day is awesome! Dan, stay safe, stay warm!7:50 p.m. Finished The Immortality Virus and it was AWESOME! Man, I've picked a couple good'uns this week so far! I'm overbooked for editing next week, so need to enjoy reading while I can! Heh. It's so cold and damp today, everything aches. I put some Sore no More on my hand, which helped, but used a more generic brand for my legs and it isn't working as well. Guess I'll try the Sore no More on my leg, too... but the roll-on bottle is almost empty and I can't use the stuff in the tub myself because I have bad eczema on my hands and don't want to end up with cayenne pepper (I can't remember the name of the actual active ingredient, but it's the same thing as in cayenne pepper and burns almost as much in open skin) in the chafed skin. So might have to wait for my husband to come home for that... Anyway, I have one more book by the same author which is up next, so we'll see if my luck holds! But first... clear out the e-mail. Wheeee!
8:19pm ET. Just finished reading The Giver and wondered why the ending upset me so. It was the wrong way; but that is just my opinion... i loved the book and do recommend it. :/
8:21 Reading Dead Man's Song before going back into the City to pick up my daughter from school - F.I.T
8:29 p.m. EST just finished clearing out the e-mail, now I'm going to read and continue to try to ignore the pain in my leg. Stupid leg *grumble grumble*

@ Holly...LOL, yes that would be a good time to get some reading done. I'll probably end up having to shovel the damned driveway though.
8:41pm EST. Just got back from the store. About to take a shower.

LOL....
I'd still have to go to work if we got a blizzard. I have a Jeep and live close to work, but the idea of being snowed in with firewood, and some great books sounds great. My boy loves books so I'm sure we all could read all day and be happy. Good luck Dan and be safe if the Blizzard gets bad.
9:46 pmwatched some news, checking into gr
that major blizzard is also headed to my area- hope the power stays on as they said it's also going to be windy friday night- as if a foot of snow isn't bad enough- hate the winter
Lol Dan.....that'd be a bummer.It's 9:26 and I'm studying.
What would be a bummer, Holly? The picture??By the way...thanks for the add.
10:31pm EST. Eventhough it's fun and I love all you guys, just realizing what a distraction GR is.
No, having to shovel the driveway.You're welcome. :-)
Lol Dan, it really is.....but such a good distraction!
12:46am EST. I didn't realize it was this late. I'd like to keep reading but I'd probably just pass out with the book in my hands. Blizzard hits tommorow. Well, goodnight guys.
Good night Dan, wish I could sleep but I'm too excited about my trip tomorrow.
Hey, Dan. I've blown out my knee on 3 separate occasions; first when I was 12 being thrown from a horse I was training for 4-H, then when I was 16 in volleyball, and again at 23 with a fall. When it's cold and damp, it acts up. thanks for asking!2:05 a.m. EST just finished my 2nd Christine Amsden book, it was also very good. 3 for 3 this weekend so far! Now to clear out the e-mail, wait for husband to bring the pistachios I'm craving, and figure out what to read next!
5:24am EST. Just woke up. Looking foward to seeing how hard old man winter is going to hit us. It's supposed to start at 1:00pm here.
It's 6:01am on a rainy and warm (60 degrees) morning. The temperature is supposed to fall all day, but we're still not expecting snow. Good luck to all you guys in the blizzard zone! (Snow is beautiful but only if you don't have to deal with the consequences like shoveling or no power.) Today's a day to do laundry and clean house. That won't take too long, though, so I plan to do a lot of reading. I'm almost done with my "X" book for the alphabet challenge. Also doing a buddy read that's good, so I have more than enough to fill the day.
Hope everyone on GR has a great day!
Hope everyone on GR has a great day!
1:17pm, I am sitting here, in my free time, looking at books on goodreads and adding them to my list. I am glad to be in the warm as it is so cold outside at the moment, can't walk far without getting some serious cold hands or feet.
Mod
Chris glad you had a great day yesterday. That is always a blessing.
Wow Terri 60, awesome. We had 70 yesterday and now about 35-40. UGH This weather is so up and own.
Dan did you get your blizzard?
Hello everyone!It's 11:38 a.m. and I'm very happy that my husband is getting out of work early today.

Yeah, I'm still in a slump, and I actually have time to read. I just feel tired after reading only a few pages, or my mind starts wondering....Let me know when you come out of your slump :-)!
Mod
Kathryn and Teez sorry you guys are in a slump. I hate when that happens.
Good luck with N&D Janie. I hope you like it better by the time you're done.
4:09 p.m. EST Woke up a bit over 1/2 hour ago, just clearing out all the e-mail that had collected, and will then finish my "J" book! Things are going to become intense for the next month, as I have a very heavy editing schedule (3 novellas next week, two the week after, potentially a full-length novel the week after that) and ABNA judging to boot, so I might be scarce on the ground for awhile.
Yes, Tee27, I do enjoy Goodreads very much.
7:19pm EST. Just sitting here drinking some Coronas, playing on GR, and reading 11/22/63. The snows really coming down!Tip-if your going to spend so much time on GR..keep your book beside you and multitask. LOL.
