Tina Marie's Ramblings

It was a busy weekend, although I didn't seem to accomplish much. I towed on Saturday (I'm so far behind in logging it's not even funny), did some maintenance on Sunday, and put another 250 miles on the bike. I was going to change the oil, but CycleGear didn't have my oil filter (PH4967), and the Harley dealership wasn't open, so it'll have to wait until next week. I did wash the bike and wax the yellow bits.

My boss has an iPod nano. It's so amazingly cute - anyone want to buy a used blue iPod Mini?

Work is heading back to 'hectic' from 'boring'. I suppose it's just the way software development works - I've had these cycles for years. I always thought if I just managed time better they wouldn't happen, but I suspect that isn't true.

What I'm reading: Monstrous Regiment, Terry Pratchett. Well, actually, I'm listening to it, because I finally have an Audible.com subscription. In paper form, I'm finishing up Reading Lolita in Tehran: A Memoir in Books. I've been working on this for a long time, and it's a bit slow-going, but it's a good story, so I keep coming back to it (although I did take a break to read Lolita, which I'd never read). I just finished Sunday's Silence again. And the book in the bathroom is the original Vagina Monologues.

BTW - I'd love someone to swap books with. I'll send you a stack of stuff I've read in return for a stack of stuff you're done with.

What I'm listening to: Still working on the stack of music I scarfed from Dylan. The iPod says I only have 341 more songs that I've never listened to. Girls & Boys (Blur) is my current favorite - I'll probably get their "Best Of" album from iTunes. It really, really annoys me that I have to have iTunes installed to search the music store.
