Amazon discontinued the ability to create images using their SiteStripe feature and in their infinite wisdom broke all previously created images on 12/31/23. Many blogs used this feature, including this one. Expect my archives to be a hot mess of broken book cover images until I can slowly comb through 20 years of archives to make corrections.

In Exile

I'm hiding in the computer room. Why? The Boyfriend is watching boxing.

I just cannot get into boxing. Yes, I do appreciate it as a sport - and I love the history of it - but dang between the greedy promoters (how is it Don King hasn't been shot yet? I mean, honestly?), the mob, and the fact that so many of these men are hung out to dry once their careers are over. Oh, and those idiot commentors on HBO. Gawd I hate those guys.

And if Mike Tyson gets one more fight I just might start screaming and never stop.

But that's another rant entirely.

So here I am in the computer room, listening to my new CDs (Jet's Get Born and STP's Thank You), putzing on the computer. What I should be doing is reading - I have yet to officially start Carved In Stone by Vickie Taylor.

Crap. That could work if I spelt the author's name right.

LOL - well don't worry Maili. I have to review it, so there's no threat of me putting it off indefinitely. I just haven't done any reading in the last several days.

Ouch. Poor you. People really do watch boxing? Sad.

Yeah, read the book. I'm curious about it.

I just don't get boxing. Yes, there are rules (do not bite off your opponent's ear, being one), but I don't enjoy watching people beat each other up. Ick.

I'd much rather watch hockey if I want to see people beat up each other. *g*

Not only does my hubby watch boxing he also watches "Ultimate Fighting", which exiled me to reading on the couch Saturday night.
