Taking Charge

It’s not a well kept secret that I love books. It doesn’t matter the genre, as long as it catches my interest. And it’s not a well documented secret that if I could, I’d be buying books all the time. But, I can’t do that, so I take advantage of the great ebook resources online. Including Classic Bookshelf for a TON of great ‘old’ books in e-book format.

I read, and loved Walden. It’s got some of the best quotes. But on the flip-side, I also love, believe it or not, trashy romance novels sometimes. Something absolutely fluffy, cheap and predictable to the point that it’s mind numbing.

Yeah, I really do love books. As long as I can read it without sleeping, I’ll read it.

Samantha Harris Delivers a Daughter

Harris and her little one, who was born at 1:49 a.m. in Los Angeles weighing in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces and measuring 20 inches long, are doing well.

Guess she won’t be on Dancing with the Stars when it premieres tomorrow night. I hope ABC had their ducks in a row and had someone ready to step into the role already. She wasn’t supposed to be due for a little bit longer. I figured this was going to happen.

I sat this morning and redid my writing site. As much as I liked Textpattern, it wasn’t working well on the host. It was complaining, no matter how much I tweaked it. I even upgraded to the newest version and managed to make it give me a 505 error that would only go away when I deleted the required .htaccess. So, it yelled about *that* too. I was kind of torn about what backend to use. I could have done Serendipity or even Joomla easily. Both would work well too. I ended up using Wordpress again, though.

I need to import my stuff from my nanogirl LJ still, so that all of it is in the same place. I have my stuff all over the damn place. Some of it on literotica, some on lj, some other places. I swear, I’m a disorganized MESS. I do like the looks of the new Paperback Writing, though. It looks good.

Tonight starts the start of the fall premiers for the major networks. Most of the reality shows have already started with The Biggest Loser two weeks ago and Survivor the other night. Coming up this week is Reaper, Pushing Daisies, Moonlight. Those are 3 of the shows that I *have* to see. I also want to see Cane, more Kitchen Nightmares, and maybe Nashville, but that’s opposite of Moonlight. Coming back for another season starting this week is Family Guy, Dancing With The Stars,

That’s a lot of great TV and for a change, the majority of what I want to watch is NOT Reality TV! Shocking.

Money, Money, Money.. that seems like a favorite topic for people. Money, politics and religion. Everyone talks about investing money, what the best way to invest is. Stock Market? That’s up and down more than… yeah I think you get the drift there! Savings Account? I suppose you could, but that money is only guaranteed as long as the bank doesn’t go bust.

Why not buy gold coin instead? It may sound odd, but if you look back through time, what is the one thing that has remained the same? There have been gold coins as currency. While the price will fluctuate, gold coin will always be worth something.

Monex offers several different ways of investing in gold coin, so you can choose different options.
