Kindle Konclusion

Some people think that the Kindle is going to be the end of books, but I don’t think so. I was curious aboutthe Kindle, and decided to give it a go. Mostly ’cause the app was free on my iphone. Here is my conclusions regarding Kindle.

One of the things that I really love about it is the convenience of having a book to read everywhere I go. I’m the kind of nerd that regularly has a book stashed away in my purse, and it’s not as convenient as you might think. And bulky, very bulky. With the Kindle, I have it anytime I find myself waiting or bored. Doctor’s waiting room? No problem, I’m engrossed in a book anyway and welcome the moment to delve into it.

When I go on trips I know I’m going to want to spend some time reading, but I don’t know how much I’m going to get done, so I usually end up bringing a stack of books just to be safe. With the Kindle, I can sift through the books I want to read, and if I finish it then I can turn right to a new book without having to get another from my suitcase. It’s deliciously convenient.

I’m not a big fan of walking through a library or bookstore to peruse the books. I prefer to do it online while I’m on the clock and supposed to be working. However, I hate having to wait for shipping, talk about building unwanted suspense. With Kindle I can download and it and start reading right away. Not to mention the fact that I don’t have to pay shipping costs.

Speaking about costs, I’m a fan of the whole idea that a Kindle is cheaper than a paper book. And what’s better than a cheap book? A free one! There are so many books are there that are free, and they’re good books. I assumed they were only going to be classics, but not so. (Although, there are a lot of good classics for free as well.) But for real, just read the summary first ’cause I downloaded one and started to read it only to find out it was pretty much porn. Unless you’re into that sorta thing, you may wanna just watch out.

Another good thing is the fact that I can read in the dark. Granted, that’s not necessarily good for your eyes, but when I can’t sleep I can read until I’m sleepy without keeping the light on and my husband from sleeping himself.

Although I do miss the feel of the book in my hands and turning the pages, at times it’s incredibly handy to just turn the page with one hand. Sometimes if I’m eating I don’t have to shuffle the book around and struggle to turn a page, I can just turn it with the touch of a finger. I imagine that would be especially fantastic if you were holding a baby or other fragile object.

The only major downside I really see is that you can’t share a good book with a friend. One of the many joys of reading is spreading an enjoyed book to others that they may enjoy it as well. Not to mention getting a book passed along to you as well. Kindle has killed book sharing (that’s how they get you) but overall, I don’t think Kindle will be the creator of the demise of books.

Lindsay Lohan to be in prison.

A week ago she checked Pickford Lofts, a transitional living for people in recovery. Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days earlier this month, for not following her probation orders. She was ordered to complete Alcohol education courses. She failed to complete the course, and to show up to court. She was then sentenced to 90 days in jail, to be served in Lynwood Jail, in California. She will also be serving 90 days in a drug and alcohol recovery center after her prison sentence.

While incarcerated, she will still be going through her alcohol treatment programs. She will spend about 20 hours a day in her cell, and have recreation time 3 times a week.

She may, or may not be serving her full term sentence, depending on Judges orders, and over-crowding of jail, and prisons. Some non-violent offenders are often times released early, some times only serving 10% of there prison sentence. Some also are senteced to serve their time at home, wearing a ankle bracelet.

D-List Celebs are Class-A Famewhores

We have all on some level been following the trainwreck better known as the Gosselins. Since Jon & Kate Plus 8 began it was full of high drama, and was very clear that this was going nowhere good, and fast.

What do you get when you cross a complete pushover and a douchebag? Jon Gosselin, of course! There really was no other answer. It’s not shocking that he cheated on Kate and is now the biggest tool in America in all his Ed Hardy/giant dragon tatooed glory. He canceled the TLC show and is completely broke because of it, and now nobody wants anything to do with him. However, he is writing a book. Are we surprised? Not so much. He’s seen Kate do it and get a lot of money and fame off of it, so of course he’s going to give it a go. If he’s honest with himself he’ll realize that he’s not going to be able to profit much off his book. Why, you ask? Because no one care what a big ol’ doucher has to say!

Lucky for Kate that she seperated from that guy. However, she really brings it all on herself. She’s kind of a controlling Bitch. Yes, I said it. And she is just as much as a famewhore as Jon is, if not more.

She had been trying to get onto Dancing with the Stars, and she made it, but she forgot one thing. . . she can’t dance at all. She can’t even hold a beat. I have never been in physical pain by just watching something, but I was when I watched Kate dance. And yet, I couldn’t tear my eyes away. It was like watching a snake charmer and secretely hoping that the snake would shoot out and bite the charmer’s nose. People kept Kate on DWTS for so long because they enjoyed watching her fail, and fail miserably. Not that she seemed to care that she was being laughed at by everyone, ’cause she was on TV, and that’s all that really mattered to her.

I felt really bad for her dance partner, ’cause dealing with her had to have been the hardest challenge of his career. And that must have been the hardest thing that Kate could have done, ’cause she had to realize that for the first time in her life there was one man that Kate didn’t have complete control over. Although she tried. That must have been scary for her to realize.

She complains about the paparazzi, and all the crap that comes with being in the media’s spotlight, but I think she is secretely scared of fading into the background and being forgotten. At one point she had even considered moving to LA and pursuing an acting career.

That would be the day. I’m 100% confident, that’s the last thing America needs.

All the while she is trying to pop out books and any other projects that keeps her in the center of attention. Desperate to cling to any fame she may have.

Kate is Queen of the Famewhores.

Covendetta

There is a band in the Utah music scene known as Covendetta, originally meaning “with revenge” or “having the same revenge” . Starting off they went through multiple line up changes excluding the keyboard/vocalist James Belliston. The members of the band consist of:

James Belliston – Vocals/Keys
Justin Stanford – Vocals
Ren Rigby – Guitar
Chris Lyons – Guitar
Darin Ferguson – Bass
Jimmy White – Drums

The sound of Covendetta is Christian Electronic Hardcore. If you are trying to figure out what that sounds like, close your eyes and imagine sitting in church, and hearing the angels of heaven beating down on your ears with perfect melodies, and riffs.

Covendetta has a show pretty much every weekend all over Utah and Idaho. They have graced Washington and Oregon with their presence when they toured in March. They have just finished their EP ‘Sound Raves & Techno Vision’, and will be having a CD release party on July 10th at In the Venue in Salt Lake city, Utah.

If you are ready for an Electro-orgasm you can get your tickets for the show featuring:

Sea Swallowed Us Whole, LikeAMonster, Forgotten Ambience, Faith For The Fallen, Breaux, For Tomorrow We Die, and Borasca

What you get with the show is a free copy of their EP, and an ear-tantalizing rock show. You will not be disappointed.

Twihards: I hate you . . . hard

We’ve all heard of the Twilight Saga, right? Yes, we haven’t stopped hearing about it.

I’ll admit up front that I have read the series, and seen the movies, and I like the storyline. However what I can’t stand are all the Twihards running around making a big deal out of everything Twilight.

I’m sick of hearing about Team Edward! and Team Jacob! and I don’t care what Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart do in their free time. No, I don’t care to visit Forks, Washington to see where Bella and Edward fell in love. Would you like to know why? Oh, don’t worry -I’ll tell you:

It’s just a story! It didn’t really happen!

Phew, I just crushed your world, didn’t I?

I can’t stand the shirts sporting an awkward Kristen Stewart sandwiched between two guys, and I really really don’t want to hear another word about Taylor Lautner’s abs. No seriously, I mean that.

“Oh, you’re bleeding a little, let me just dramatically whip my shirt off to dab a little blood off your forehead.” Necessary?

What I really don’t like about the series, is the fact that both Stephanie Meyer and the directors have a feeding tube directly into every girl’s fantasies. They know what girls want and they give it to them. And now they’ve created a monster even bad acting can’t kill.

Seriously bad acting.

All the screaming fans have turned Twilight into such a 3-ring circus that now it’s embarrassing to even admit you’ve read the books, or seen the movies. If someone ask me if I want to see Eclipse I shrug it off and say I dunno. Really, I don’t want to be lumped into the masses of completely obsessed droolers who just want to see a pasty Rob Pat shirtless.

You wanna know what team I am now on? Team Victoria, yes, I hope she hunts down Bella and kills her. I’m Team Volturi, they really should have killed Bella in the second movie.

It would have made our lives much easier. At least I wouldn’t be accosted with Twilight at every turn.
