[Jane (PS), Moderator]

If I'd just stop procrastinating I'd be finished this challenge!!! I'm even enjoying my last book but gosh - I sure am finding other things to do... (This comment is, of course, an example ;)

[Rachel (aka Ms4Tune)]

Lol I know what you mean Jane! I should have finished this ages ago but i just kept finding other books to read. How far are you with this challenge?

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

I've completed 19 out of 20 books :) I'm currently reading Touched by an Alien and I am really enjoying it, but once I get interupted I have trouble getting back into it... Wandering brain and - oh look, there's something shiny!! What's for dinner??

[Rachel (aka Ms4Tune)]

Ha, I'm the same. I re-organised my bookshelves at the weekend obviously a very important job. :) You're doing better than me I've got 3 left to read out of 15!

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

LOL - reorganising bookshelves! Electronically or physically? Both definitely qualify for procrastination though :) I know, because that's what I did most of Saturday and then categorised my eReader on Sunday - electronically...

[Rachel (aka Ms4Tune)]

Ha! Must be the Book Gods at work then cos I did exactly the same! I went to a book sale at my local samaritans on the saturday and got 9 books for £7.50 BARGIN so i thought that sort of justified the book case reorganisation on saturday but I created unnecessary category folders on my kindle on sunday! :)

[Jane (PS), Moderator]

Great minds think alike! ...I wonder if anyone else was similarly impelled on the weekend??

(You weren't avoiding the Olympic coverage were you? Or perhaps milling around in front of the TV as you did this?)

[Rachel (aka Ms4Tune)]

Perhaps just a little bit. I live in England so all our channels are broadcasting the Olympics 24/7. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud but sometimes you want a little light relief! (Mr Bean cracked me up)

[Ian]

Jane (PS) wrote: "(You weren't avoiding the Olympic coverage were you? Or perhaps milling around in front of the TV as you..."

To quote a song lyric from King Missile:

"Sports are gay, especially
contact sports, unless you're the only guy on both
teams, in which case it is straight.

lol...I just have to add this...because...well I just have to.

Watching pornography alone is neutral, like eating
a sandwich. It's neither straight nor gay.
Watching pornos with one or more other guys in the
room, no matter how many other women are also in
the room, is gay. Watching porn, even gay porn,
with one or more women ONLY is straight.

I missed the opening ceremony - 5.30am was a touch early for me to get up in the middle of winter and freeze in front of the TV :) I was going to YouTube the Mr Bean bit as well - Mum was telling me about it last night ;)
