So Tired ...

I have absolutely no clue why, but I am extremely tired today! I went to do an install for someone this morning and was supposed to have an appointment here this afternoon, but the person that was supposed to come never showed up and never called. So, I sat here in front of my computer trying to do some other stuff and I kept finding that speech was lulling me into some sort of dream place. All of a sudden I'd realize that my computer wasn't talking to me anymore, come back to reality, only to find it happening yet again a couple of seconds later. I felt kind of weird this morning though, so I really hope this isn't the beginning of some sort of virus or whatever. I don't need that right now.

I ordered an apple peeler-corer-slicer unit from Blind Mice Mart the other day and it'll be here on Thursday. In the instruction manual for my potato masher there's a recipe for homemade applesauce, and I really want to try it. This slicer thing I got is supposed to not only do apples, but potatoes as well. I think it sounds similar to the one that littlefroggy wrote about a little while back. Apparently you can adjust the size of the slices and choose if it just peels, or if it does everything. I'll be trying it Thursday night.

Yesterday I scanned "Harvesting the Heart" by Jodi Picoult and I plan to start editing it fairly soon so that I can have a good read. The book listed her web site though, and I discovered that she's got a podcast. Yay!!! I downloaded all the episodes, so now I need to put them on my Book Port so that I can listen to them.

Speaking of Book Ports, I'm really excited. On Tuesday, March 13 during ACB Radio's Main Menu show, Jeff Bishop will be talking with Larry Skutchan from APH It is rumored that Larry will be discussing the features of the new and upcoming Book Port which is supposed to play the new Library of Congress format books when they become available later this year. I will most likely buy the new BP when it comes out, so am really looking forward to hearing this Main Menu presentation.

Well, I think I'm going to go grab my BP and transfer some stuff onto the card and mellow out for the rest of the night. Later, everyone.
