I’d like to thank the people that wished me a happy birthday. Sorry I was not able to respond to you, but I was still unpacking and getting into my new job and living situation. I had a good birthday, and I’m a year older so, it served its function.
I’m getting used to living with someone again, and her Chihuahua. As she is getting used to me and my Manx. It’s still in the adjustment phase, and I haven’t had a lot of time to sit down and blog. And now that I have sat down to blog, I’m starting to blank out. Bloggers Block? Writers Blog? But I digress.
I did finish reading The Wind Up Bird Chronicle. A very good book, but also strange. Near the end of it, I felt it became a bit disjointed, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. And I recommend to anyone who is looking for something different. Something that is not the literary equivalent of a summer blockbuster. Not that those summer blockbuster books are bad, per se, but this book is not one. I stretched out reading it as long as I could so I could enjoy as much as possible. It might not be easy to find in your local book shop (muchless a used book store) but I think a search (or the internet order) for The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami would be worth it.
As you may have noticed I changed the site about a month ago. I actually changed the engine that I use to blog. I went from Moveable Type to Word Press (sounded like a logical step up 
). I’m fairly certain I have all the functionality of the old blog, and then some. If you are not on the mailing list, you can get on that with a link on the sidebar. A little different from the old blog, but it works (or seems to). I have a cool currently reading block. Much easier on me 
. Before, I would literally find the link on amazon, copy and shrink the photo of the cover, and put it all on my site. Then near the end of the MT days, I had a plugin that would go through the amazon associates program, which was easier. On this one I put in the title, it gives me an AISD number and I put that in a box and viola. Granted I’m using a plugin to do that, but it’s very easy and nice. Let me know if you like the new look, loathe it, or are indifferent. My email is the same, and the comments section works .
On the book note, I think I might try to get Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way. I know Beav has already ordered it, and I did read If Chins Could Kill and enjoyed it, so I think I’ll like this one.
I figure I’ve rambled enough and need to get to bed.

Glad to hear (finally) that you had a good birthday! Also glad to know that things are going well with you and Manx adjusting to your new situation.
Like the new look!
