Daytime television is the DEVIL!!!

Well, TV in general is Satan. But Oprah is a demon from hell! Not old scratch himself, but she's definately a minion.

I only watch t.v. at night when I can watch a crime drama like C.S.I. or Law and Order, but that's only an hour a day. Other than that, I agree. devil

The last book I read was "You Couldn't Make It Up!" by Richard Littlejohn. And he's right, you couldn't make it up - crazy (corporate) world we live in!! Political satire and extremely funny......
Before that, Scott Adam's "Dilbert" - of course! There's a theme here, isn't there....??doh rolling on the floor laughing

"Holy Blood, Holy Grail". I enjoyed the read. I found it to be thought provoking. A lot of interesting information.

Last book I read was Harry Potter, and the half blood Prince. Honestly I would have never have read any of the Harry Potter books if the first movie hadn't come out, but I enjoy them.

I love c.s.i and law and order I’ve also been watching bones and criminal minds , I watch far too much T.V ,although it’s getting less and less im going to the gym in the mornings so I just don’t turn it on during the day anymore (I find if you turn daytime tv on in the morning your whole day just disappears ). And at night Im getting back into reading I just finished rereading The Collector by John Fowles , Im going to start some thing new tonight Im still undecided I have a few to chose from (im one of those people that cant leave a book store with out a book) I have a couple of Stephen Kings I want to read (he’s my favourite author) or I might read Melvin Burgess “bloodtide” If I cant decide I might just break out a photography book

Just finished Hart's War. Not sure what's next. Probably 1984, it's been awhile since I read that.

Robert Fulghum - Maybe (Maybe Not!)
Patrick McManus - The Good Samaritan Strikes Again!
Louis La'Mour - Reilly's Luck

All three were very thought provoking in their own ways.

"On Writing" sits by my printer.

The best thing I learned from this book:

"Second draft=first draft-10%"

Like King, I have to force myself to edit. I tend to start adding things, and as he says, this is NOT a good thing.

When I write I just go. First edit I make the story interesting to other people. Second edit I get rid of all the garbage. By the end...My original story is there, but few of the words.

The last book I read was 'The Power of NOW' I've read it many times but am still amazed at how simple my life is when I just let go and let a higher power take the strain!

It teaches many things... That in one's search for happiness and contentment you need look no further than from within - if pleasures are based on the perfect partner or money, fast cars and other materialistic possesions then that happiness can be taken away at any time but happiness from within and contentment with one's self is a happiness that can be treasured for a lifetime!
