Settling in.

Our new residence is nearly settled, with just a few boxed of stuff left that we haven't needed yet, and the storage room filled to capacity with miscellany. We have a kitchen table, couch, and a lot of bookshelves. It's at the point now where we could feasibly have visitors and not be embarrassed by the place. This is good. I have some tidying that I could be doing right now, but I'd really rather not; instead I will ramble a bit on the 'ol blog for a little while until it's time to go to work.

I haven't felt the need to write much lately, mostly because I always think that I need a "topic" of some sort before I start. I could rant about the latest horrors performed by a figure of Religious Authority, or I could write about a hopeful message to gay High School kids, or how Anti-Vaccination nut-jobs kill children. All of those topics have been covered, however, by folks far more eloquent than I. I'm jealous of those other writers, that they have the confidence to put their words to the subjects of the day. I could write about how I miss playing the drums, or how I haven't played my guitar nearly often enough. Or I could bitch about having nothing to write about, even though as I've just noted, there are an abundance of topics on which I could easily put together something or another to say.

I've been reading Pride and Prejudice on my iPod. while the screen on the device is small and not really suited to reading large books, I must say that I'm pretty impressed by the iBooks App. The action is pretty natural, and the text is clear and easy to read. I kind of want an iPad now, even though eBooks are pretty much the only use I would have for the device. Maybe I should talk to one of the lovely people at the Apple store about what other uses I would have for such a thing... I don't know.

Anyhow, I think I'm done for now. Maybe I will write some more after work today.
