To save brain cells

After watching yet another episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse I broke down and started to blog. I feel my brain cells slip away with each children's show that I watch...what better way to keep myself sharp than to set my thoughts down online for all my friends to see and harass me on if they aren't coherent! I miss speaking with adults on a daily basis...other than my husband. I miss my friends from BN, and I miss being around books and knowing what is new and what is selling. I wish there was an online bookclub that actually read books I might read...

Speaking of bookclubs, the Barn sent me an email touting their new My Barnes and Noble program. They have you add your favorite books, movies and DVDs in and then they give you recommendations. I wonder if they will actually give you recommendations that go along with what you read or if they will just push the stuff that people pay them to push. One can only hope they will actually give you real recommendations as I'm always looking for new things to read.

Oh! Yay! You started a blog...and came out of the stalker closet! I deem today a good day.

Let me know if they give decent recommendations. I'm guessing they won't, but their marketing people should tell them that they might actually sell more books that way.
