There seems to be a repeat of last year! (It also happens to be that I posted about it too.) Our neighbors cut down the tree behind their garage. I'm not very happy because now there are NO (large) trees to shade houses or yards during these hot months we're getting into. :( I also feel bad after cutting down 3 large old trees and then not putting something in their place. It's not like there aren't trees but they are all at the edge of the property's and don't give much shade because of their location. I think my elevated garden might suffer now with more southern exposure during the day without the tree to shade it in the afternoon. Which reminds me that I need to check my garden to make sure the people taking down the tree didn't damage any plants (or the land they drove over). At least they were fast taking it down and did it during the afternoon instead in the wee hours of the morning like last year with the two whoppers between the houses.
Listening to audiobooks while doing work on the computer makes me feel like a great multitask-er and very productive when not working on virtual school.
Liver pain sucks and screws with my whole body. Hopefully it will just keep getting better until I recover.

Pete and Repeat
July 19, 2009
I love the... Everywhere that's almost as good as here.
Here in the US we're so used to these crappy reality TV shows. I really wish they would play more British shows in the US. For instance talk shows are great shows. You get to know people for who they are without scripts, or prerecordings that are totally butchered to keep it 'clean', or doing retakes of shots because it wasn't just right.
I just don't get reality tv. My favorite people to watch on tv are comedians and drama shows (usually ones that have funny people in them).
This is also why I have to say that Doctor Who is one of the single most greatest ideas for a funny, witty, dramatic, fictional story. A timelord is the best character you can have. They can never get old or uninteresting. They can travel anywhere in space or time. Which means endless possibilities of stories for script writers. Most series start dieing because they're trying too long to keep it going and keeping it fresh and new to viewers.
Well that was my rant about TV. I have these songs stuck in my head and I can't find out the names or the artists and it's driving me nuts. I need to go to bed because I'm starting this English learning program tomorrow to learn me up on some grammars I never learned and was supposed to sometime in my school career.
That's all and welcome back to myself for finally blogging again.
I found a neat app for my itouch so I can just write posts directly to the blog when I'm reading before bed (reading off the itouch that is).
