I know that I'm a late bloomer, but this is ridiculous!

So Becky has been pestering (tee hee hee) me to fricking sign up for the 'A New Earth: Awakening to your Life's Purpose' classes online and to get the book. I finally watched the first episode of the online classes last night, and as soon as I got home, I downloaded I-Tunes and all eight podcasts of the show so far...

Now here's the really dorky thing that I did. I fell in love with I-tunes. I mean, real true absolute love with this application. I-Tunes is my new Girlfriend (or Boyfriend, if you like!)

I had never played with podcasts, or anything before! I spent this whole day downloading and setting up playlists of my music that I had ripped from my disks that I own. I wish that I had an I-pod now! I'm so getting one for my birthday! (I hope!) :-)

I know that everyone and their grandmother have already used these AMAZING applications before, but I am a true loser! Thank you soooo much Steve Jobs! You are my bestest friend!!!

How you uh, how you comin' on that novel you're working on?

"How you uh, how you comin' on that novel you're working on? Huh?

Gotta a big, uh, big stack of papers there?

Gotta, gotta nice litte story you're working on there? Your big novel you've been working on for 3 years? Huh?

Gotta, gotta compelling protaganist? Yeah? Gotta obstacle for him to overcome? Huh? Gotta story brewing there?

Working on, working on that for quite some time? Huh? (voice getting higher pitched) Yea, talking about that 3 years ago.

Been working on that the whole time? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end?

Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Yeah? Yeah?

(voice returns to normal) No, no, you deserve some time off."

Is that a good enough explanation of my absence to the blogosphere? Or do you all meed more information? I could give all of the lame arse details, but I think Stewie summed it up nicely for me there! :-)
