So I have finished reading Artemis Fowl and I am currently working on decoding he message at the bottom of the pages. The book itself is good. Eoin Colfer really takes an old subject like fairies and leprechauns and gives it a new twist. However the book is a little adolescent in it’s nature, I suspect Colfer is trying to copy the success Ms. Rowling has had with Harry Potter by appealing to young people without offending their parents. The plots are compelling and original but the action is subdued. Colfer makes fun of himself by playfully catching himself before any vulgarities are written, trying to give the piece and off the cuff feel. All this aside I must say that I do recommend this book not only to children middle school and younger but also to adults who are looking for a quick read that is also entertaining. While it’s not Shakespeare it is surprising the amount of emotional attachment that we feel towards the title character. Eoin gives us hints that Artemis has not yet revealed his true nature we shall see as Artemis grows up how he handles the responsibility of his knowledge of the People.

I am not a runner. When I am outdoors I am usually hiking or walking. When I do run, it is usually on a treadmill. I was looking for something that would help me stay in my target heart rate no matter what activity I was doing. But this item is built for runners/bikers. There isn’t even an option to walk. And it won’t track calories indoors.

I am returning the item for these reasons. I will go back to polar.

This is my second friction mount. After stumbling with suction cups, the friction mount did the job. It fits on top of your dash and is easily portable if you want to bring it inside or just move it to the floor of your vehicle. If you don’t want it to be visible on the dash when not in use a regular size baseball cap will cover it nicely. There is a little slippage on the some dashboards over time but not serious and nothing that can’t be adjusted in less than a minute.

This is a great little cable. I had missed several episodes of my favorite summer tv show, but found out that I could download the past shows to my laptop. Well, then I had to get them on my big tv somehow, so I sent my husband to Best Buy for a cable to connect the two and whoa! Over $30 for the cheapest cable they had. No way am I going to pay that much money to watch 4 television shows. So I found this cable on Amazon for less than $3 and free shipping! What can you lose? It worked great for what I needed, but might not be so good for fancy connections. Who knows? But I would certainly reccommend it for watching tv shows, home video or pictures.

Instructions loop around but don’t resolve the problem with connecting to the internet. Can waste way too much time on this. Don’t even want to try doing this all again with tech support. Much more fruitful to bag it and do more constructive things.

Title: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

Pages: 214

Time spent on the “to read” shelf: 4 or 5 months I think.

Days spent reading it: 4 days.

Why I read it: The Catcher in the Rye is an American classic and very controversial. I honestly wanted to see what was so controversial. Also, it was one of those “classics” that I did not read while in high school. In researching about it later I read that in 1981 it was the most censored book in US high schools and the second most taught book in high schools. It was one of the 10 most challenged books in 2005, but it came off the list in 2006. Those are some fun facts for you.

Brief review:
This book frankly annoyed me. The writing has very repetitive and had many aggravating sayings in it. The word “really” is used almost as much as the curse words that are prevalent throughout the book (one reason it is often censored–I would guess that gd appears 2-3 times a page at minimum, sometimes significantly more). And I assure you, both appear more than they need to, I really mean it.

Holden Caulfield is the main character. He is the epitome of teenage angst. His world is utterly pessimistic. He sees only the bad in everything except his sister and his deceased younger brother. He is bright, but is failing out of school. He is obsessed with sex, but cannot develop a relationship with a girl. He is active and pursues all the pleasure trappings that a big city have, but has no defining meaning to his life.

The book covers three days between him being kicked out of school and his untimely return home. Holden is depressed, hates everyone, exaggerates EVERYTHING (annoyingly so), and seems to have few people skills. In short, he is the perfect anti-hero and irritating enough that I did not like him one bit while reading this book.

I suppose this book speaks to the hearts of some disaffected youth, but they would have to be interested in drudging through 200 pages of dribble in order to find the voic

The nintendo wii is a breath of fresh air to the video game industry. In a world saturated with first person shooters, games geared for adult crowd, and an abundance of blood and gore, it is refreshing to have a game experience that you can have and not worry about whose head will be chopped off or how many kills you have. I love that the wii causes you to actually get off the couch and do something. You can actually work out while playing video games. Nintendo took the first step. Now it’s time for some good changes to the industry.

I got this scale on a recommendation, but I was really weary of electronic scales. My past scale was one jittery piece of crap. I could put some dumbbells on there and it would be from 5-10 pounds OFF. WHAT!? So I forked over the dough for this one cuz I heard it was “so good” Got it used it for a while now, and I am impressed. I get consistent, accurate readings every time. If you get one scale-get this one. It is totally worth the money to get an accurate scale. You will feel a lot better not leaving your weight to some shot in the ballpark.
