I try to have a backup book, or a magazine. Doesn't always happen (read the airline magazine? I fly often enough that the airline mag doesn't change often enough. :)
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I usually print out some sudoku pages from the internet and do that during plane waiting times.
sometimes I'll have bought a magazine, but I read magazines so quickly anymore that I'm twiddling my thumbs after!

I don't know about the Kindle, but I can turn the Wireless off in my Nook Color -- would that be ok?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
the flight attendants aren't exactly consistent about it. that's why I don't bother. they want all electronic devices OFF - whether they have wireless radios or not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, there's generally a time when they say, "If it has an on/off switch, it needs to be OFF."

Good to know. I haven't flown with The Precious yet...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Did people see the Kindle Lending Library announcement on Amazon? You can borrow one book at a time for as long as you like, which is intriguing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
"As frequently as a book a month", which is not enough to make me rush out and buy a kindle. But interesting, yes, since the selection of e-books available through my library seems to be pretty paltry.

Ah. I missed that bit.

The status is NOT quo.
But still, yay! Drew has been waiting to borrow books from my kindle for ages. One a month total, though? Not so yay.
