Odd Thomas by Dean Kootz (An AudioBook Review)

I have been very lax in blogging as of late and REALLY lax in the Audiobook reviews. One of the main reasons that I had started this blog was for a place to post reviews of Audio Books that I have completed. I’m going to try to remedy that as i finish them now. I listen to my Audiobooks exclusively in the car. Previously I would load a book on the IPod and use it. For my birthday last year, I got the CDA-9856 CD Receiver . This unit has a really nice interface with the IPod. Not just an auxiliary jack, but a cable that allows control and view of the Ipod interface through the acual head unit. The CD also will play MP3’s. So, now when I listen to a book, I will burn it (in mp3 format ) to a CD. Pop the CD in the car. This may seem to be the hard wa to do it, but it works really well. When the Audiobook resides on the IPod, there is no way to “bookmark” the track. Sure you power off the Ipod, it picks back where you left off. Before, I would lose my last little bit of charge at the worst
"..for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself." Jessamyn West I have raised a retard. I swear to God, the things he says and thought processes that flow through his brain never cease to amaze me. Early on in this Blog, I promoted the idea of trying to give your kids more than you had. Don't force them to work during their early high school years and instead let them enjoy their summers unencumbered. As that dickhead Dr. Phil says, " how'd that work out for ya?" I have ended up with an unappreciative individual that is not even remotely ready for the real world. What a slap in the face that will be, standing on his own two feet. I know, I know, I reap what I sow, but that what blog is for isn't it, anonymous venting?? His outrageously expensive school, has a relatively relaxed cel phone policy. You can have you phone, and actually use it in between classes. Just don't use it during class. Kinna obvious don't you think? He come

"I Dont Have Pet Peeves, I Have Whole Kennels Of Irritation" Unknown

Random Pet Peeve. I'm not sure why I let little things bother me when there is so much out in the world that I really should be worrying about. But alas, here is a first in a series of Random Pet Peeves (TM): There is a girl here at work that has the whole trailer park image down. She litterally lives in a trailer and reinforces any and all associated stereotypes therein. She nice enough, but dumb as a rock. I overheard her talking about her evening with the following statement, "I sat in front of the computer all nite and played Solitary" Its SOLITAIRE, not solitary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Told you it was petty, but I hate when people say that. Sue me.
