It’s hard to capture the awesomeness of a flying kitty with a built-in iSight camera. Here’s my best effort so far, but it’s only a mere glimpse of the magical stunt.
LibraryThing
Since the fall of 2005, I have been adding all the books that I read to my LibraryThing account. That’s where the little widget on the right side comes from that highlights my latest couple of reads. To take a peek at my personal catalog, head on over to http://www.librarything.com/catalog.php?view=jocainster
To analyze my reading habits, take a look at the fun statistics page. LibraryThing is free, so hop on over and create an account if you don’t already have one. If you do, I’d love to take a peek at your catalog. Leave me your username in the comments or email it to me so I can judge you, er, I mean see all the cool books you have or have read.
I’ve now got unlimited Joost invites so if anybody needs one, drop a comment or email and I’ll send it your way. Just don’t watch ‘Chains of Love’ if you know what’s good for you.
Mt. Pisgah
I’m just breaking in my boots, but this still must count for something.
Chewing on tinfoil
Generally I’m not a short story kind of gal, but I do make the exception for comics. I found a few of the stories to have superb writing and I loved the drawing throughout the book.
The characters were all well developed and true to life, especially considering that they only exist for a few pages each. A couple of the stories were a little lacking, but still worth the read.
To hike or not to hike
Red eye, black eye
The author loses his job, his girlfriend, his apartment, his grandma and then the twin towers in New York. He gets a bus pass and heads out for a loop around the country.
I liked the somewhat heavy artwork and the continuous story was compelling. The author turned into somewhat of an annoying jerk while drinking and I found myself enjoying the book a little less because of it. Everyone he met on the trip was pretty likeable, though, so I ended up with mostly positive feelings about this one.
Flying Lincoln

Right now the cat’s favorite thing to do is bring his ‘snake’ (pull strings from cardboard envelopes) to be thrown in the air so he can leap up and catch it, while twisting and turning as much as he can.
He grabs it, lands and then brings it right back for another go.
