I just wanted to tape a quick note to the virtual refrigerator to let all four of my readers know that I have not forgotten my posting responsibilities here. My life has been very good of late, but also very hectic, so when the muse has struck, I'm usually too busy to heed it. Inspirations and blog-worthy notions that have bounced off my cranium during my morning commute have usually been forced into a back corner of my brain when I get home, if not forgotten entirely.
By way of a quick update on a previous post — namely electronic books — I will mention that I am discovering that having a portable device, such as a Kindle or iPhone, makes a world of difference in their appeal. Since getting my iPhone more than a month ago, I have found that the experience of e-book reading is enhanced greatly by being able to hold the thing in your hand, as opposed to hitting an arrow key on a keyboard. The portability is also a plus; I've been able to find times to read — while waiting at the pharmacy, for example — that would have been lost to me otherwise. On the down side, an eBook on an iPhone is still not the immersive experience that a real ink-and-paper book is.
As far as fandoms go, I have been a Disney geek for the past couple weeks. I am in one of my period phases of planning our next trip to see the Mouse, which usually involves the nasty sticker shock of pricing different accommodation scenarios. We've resolved to stay on property this time, which while appealing to the Disney geek in me, is also more expensive nearly any way you slice it.
This, then, is a brief snapshot of my life on these, the Ides of October. I will try to post a lengthier treatise in the future; until then, adieu.
