One of these days, I'll post some more random links, honest. :)Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403255764384760662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432116.post-81419634461054645732009-04-26T08:59:00.000-06:002009-04-26T08:59:00.000-06:00Are you still alive?Are you still alive?Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432116.post-75303468680840815472009-04-18T19:13:00.000-06:002009-04-18T19:13:00.000-06:001) It oozed scientology out all over the plane. I...1) It oozed scientology out all over the plane. I swear it. It was <I>hell</I>.<br /><br />3) Heck, I watched the series again a year or two ago, and felt disappointed he'd never showed up at my school. :)<br /><br />4) Electrodynamics... ugh.<br /><br />10) I really did have to mentally categorize textbooks as a slightly different class of objects, or I would never have been able to overcome that inhibition, myself. It's a good thing I did, though, because apparently my most efficient study method involved obsessively highlighting whatever I really needed to understand.<br /><br />12) You, my friend, are a freak. :)<br /><br />14) Ooh, I think I've read <I>The Phantom Tollbooth</I> at least twice. And have a strange hankering to read it again, now.<br /><br />16) I'm going to need to buy some more bookcases soon to put all those books I keep buying in.<br /><br />17) I generally enter the ISBN numbers, although you can enter the title and the software will generally do a very good job of finding it for you via Amazon or the Library of Congress or one of a zillion other places. You can also use a scanner; they sell one through the site for something like $15.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403255764384760662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3432116.post-16111689979263552772009-04-18T19:02:00.000-06:002009-04-18T19:02:00.000-06:001. You didn't mention that you were stuck between ...1. You didn't mention that you were stuck between two scientologists also. Otherwise the book would have been passable.<br /><br />3. I think I saw the series first and then the book appeared in my library. I think I was in 5th grade and so disappointed that he didn't show up at my school like he did that one in NYC.<br /><br />4. Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics. I have yet to get through the whole thing... nightmares...<br /><br />10. My parents taught me never never never never write in a book. I cringed when I got to college and they told me to mark in my physics book..<br /><br />12. Sadly yes.. sometimes though I read the book backwards so that I cant spoil the beginning.<br /><br />14. A Wrinkle in Time and My Side of the Mountain. I think also Between Planets and Phantom Tollbooth too. My grandfather read through 2 hardbound copies of The Count of Monte Cristo. I think he read the second one twice a year according to my grandmother (who had to hide it regularly so she could talk with him at the dinner table.)<br /><br />16. Sadly we had to sell two bookcases recently. <br /><br />17. Do you do that via ISBN numbers or is there some sort of scanner..Stephen Smoogenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026786034163911165noreply@blogger.com
