After my recent splurge on ebooks (What? There's no shipping charges or additional time to when you receive them!) I went looking through my old disks (We're talking disks burned in final year of college) to find my old collection of ebooks that I downloaded when I had the help of the college collection. Now, I have stacks of disks without labels or anything written on them - mainly cause I didn't have a cd marker back then - so I went through all of them... To no avail. Then I picked up my disc folder a couple of hours later, looking for Anime, only to find them buried on the disk with Trigun 7 ^_^

Me is all happy now... And have about 1,177 ebooks (not including the 8 ones that I bought this week) on my pc! Mesa happy now. When my broadband connection goes away for a while, I should have more than enough to read.

broadband going away?

To live on a farm right?

Dumping Clearwire and getting in a different broadband contract but have to wait for it to be installed... *pout*

Is it just me or has clearwire speed dropped drastically over the last few days?

*grin* No idea, hasn't worked properly for me for the past two months. Logged a call with Tech Support and it's been elevated and elevated until they gave me the fantastic reply of "It's foliage!"

1,177 ebooks?! Wow. o___O

[deannawol.livejournal.com]

Yeah, although the bad point is that most of them I got offered and so I accepted them, even though I would probably never read them. But there are some good books in there... The other bad point is that they tend to be in the format XX_BookTitle where XX is the authors initials... And while I can guess some of them... There are others that I don't even have a clue about.

I hope your harddrive is backed up with all that worth on your PC!!!

[deannawol.livejournal.com]

*grin* Yeah, everything is backed up - Went through a rather horrible weekend a while back where the laptop wouldn't boot in anything other than safe mode so I thought I'd have to nuke it all so everything is backed up ^_^

O.o Wow, that's a lotta e-books....I still haven't bought any. I will finish Dark Tower first, otherwise the temptation will be too much! XD

See, now aren't you glad I reminded you of them?

*cuddlehugs you until air becomes a problem*

Yes, I am very glad you reminded me of them. Hadn't thought of that option of buying books at all. *snuggles*

I'm pondering whether to do that bloody long box meme thing that you and Double did....should do tags first, though...before Kindred and Val hunt me down!

Also...any decisions on August/M'era Luna yet? Let me know soon, cause flights to Ireland are cheap then...and I still have 6 days left of holidays to use up ^_~

Probably won't get over there with the way my finances are running unfortunately. Damien keeps on putting thos huge bills in front of me and expecting me to pay. ... :(

Oh well, I'm sure Minion and Mae will be happier since that means I'll be coming back over. ^_^

Though, my supervisor told me yesterday that he wants me to go back to Toulouse after his holidays, and thinks it may be around the end of August. Guess when I decided would be the perfect time to take my holidays only the night/morning before he said this? Last week of August. -_- Ah well, maybe I should just book it and apply for the hols anyway, if I wait until I know about Toulouse for sure I'll have missed out on the cheap fights >.o
