I'm obsessed with the Kindle 2. I can't stop googling it lol.
I found this article about how the authors guild is suing Amazon because of the text-to-speech feature on the Kindle 2. Because they sell books plus they sell books on tape so by having a text-to-speech feature available, they are giving away the audio book version for free with the sale of e-books. But that is so not true because nothing can compare to the emotion in the voice of a person reading a book on a tape or cd. It's totally not the same because text-to-speech sounds robotic. There is no emotion. We will see what happens. I mean, what's preventing people from using text-to-speech on their PC to listen to e-books? They aren't suing Microsoft.

New look
Yesterday I changed my theme so it's a bit easier to read. The red is gone for good. I just found that the text was too small and I'm sure that's why I wasn't getting too many views.
This new theme the text is bigger and the banner on the top is going to be random images from EverQuest. I took a whole bunch of screen shots in EQ for this so just need to find the random banner changer plug in again. I'm pretty sure that was for banner ad's but why wouldn't it work with the page banner? Right? I'm talking to myself lol.

Kindle Blog
I was looking at Kindle the other day and as I was there I saw that you can read peoples blogs on the kindle. I thought that you could just go to either their website or there was a think where you tell them who you subscribe to but apparently it's not like that.
If you want to read a blog their blog site has to be registered through Kindle and you have to pay for it. Well, I don't want to charge people to read my ramblings. Although the money would be nice but why charge people when they can read it for free here through my website either on the PC or through a mobile phone like the iPhone or iPod or even PSP.
If they make it so that I don't have to charge people at all then I will add it to Kindle but I honestly don't know anyone who even has a Kindle. I would like to publish my blog though because I currently have 0 readers. So frankly, nobody is going to read this. Hell, I don't even read my own blog. I just blog it. I do read it after I've posted it to see if there are any corrections needed or I go back. Anyway lol I was rambling. I would like to get it on Kindle but not as a pay blog.

Little known fact about...
There is a little known fact about sleep apnea that most people don't realize. I've been using a Bi-Pap machine (in case someone is unaware, it's a machine that has a mask that I put over my nose, the hose goes to the machine and the machine pushes air into my lungs so I can sleep at night because my airway closes when I sleep) for a couple of years now and when I wake up every single morning I have a dry mouth (due to some medications, so say the people at the C-Pap Company) and also my nose is dry.
My bi-pap machine has a little tank filled with water which is on a heater also known as a evaporator. The heat heats the water and then the air pushes the evaporated water into my nose and lungs so I don't wake up with a dry nose, throat, lungs and mouth. Well, it doesn't work that great. As I said it's due to my medication but I don't know. I mean, my nose is always so dry that it starts hurting. I'm always sniffling because of the dryness and I am also doing this half twitch, you know like Samantha in Bewitched, I don't do the full twitch, just half to try to I don't know actually why I do it but I'm always doing it lol.
So tonight I was flossing and I went to look for toothpaste and came across this tube that looked like toothpaste but it was Vaseline so I squirted some on a Q-Tip and put it inside my nostrils around inside there to cover up all the dry areas. It's only been a few minutes and it is already starting to help. I never thought about that before and I'm glad I saw it.
I don't normally use Vaseline (hush you) because it's a female product in my opinion. I remember watching my mom after she got out of the shower and had her nightgown on and she just started smearing that stuff all over her legs and arms. She had psoriasis so I don't know if that's why, because her legs and arms were dry from that. But she also would put it on her face full of make-up and she would use a wash rag to wipe it all off and all the make-up was gone. So because I've never really had a need for it I don't buy it. But it is a good product I guess.
If this works with my nose then perhaps I might think about buying some more if I run out of what I have. I'm really sick of all this dryness in my nose.

KFC Weekend Special
Starting today until Tuesday Feb 17th, KFC has a weekend special for President's day. Although their weekend special seems to be about 6 days. Anyway, the commercial says that you get a whole chicken which is 8 pieces, mashed potato's and gravy, cole slaw and 4 biscuits all for $12.95.
Well, it's kinda false advertising. A whole chicken would consist of 2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 legs (drumsticks) and 2 wings. We went there today and the pieces were 4 thighs and 4 legs. Not exactly a whole chicken.
Personally it doesn't matter to me. 2 pieces of chicken, mashed potato's and gravy, cole slaw and a biscuit is enough for 1 meal. Chip bought an extra order of Macaroni and cheese, the family size and I added 4 apple turnovers (2 for him and 2 for me).
We don't normally go there because they are a bit expensive compared to Albertson's chicken dinner which is like 8 pieces of chicken and 1lb of salad (cole slaw, potato salad or macaroni salad) and a package of 4 Hawaiian rolls for like $5. I do prefer KFC over grocery store chicken but I just can't afford it.
It was good though mmmm mmmm so good.

Joaquin Phoenix on David Letterman
On February 11th 2009, Joaquin Phoenix was a guest on the David Letterman show. Wow, was he messed up. This guy who was once gorgeous now looks like the unibomber. Take a look.
There was a video right here from YouTube of Joaquin Phoenix on David Letterman but CBS forced YouTube to take it down due to copyright infringement.
By the way, this is my 500th blog post YAY WOOHOO! Eh, whatever.
