book contests going on over at bookish ruths
This is all part of the Book Blogger Appreciation Week that was recently organized.
Edit:
So as not to spam, i am including another giveaway here that Ruth has got happening.
Originally this post only referred to one contest, but as less than 12 hours passed since i posted it, i feel an edit is warranted.~~~~~~~~~~
this seems like a pretty interesting series.
i dont normally cross post on these things, but i really want to read these books so i figured i should cave in once in a while.
anyone interested in joining the contest, head on over to her site and read the rules… pretty simple to be involved. Contest ends Friday the 19th

Percy Jackson is a good kid, but he can’t seem to focus on his schoolwork or control his temper. And lately, being away at boarding school is only getting worse. Percy

Vaux Swifts in Portland
i am too lazy to proof read this before posting, s
o if some of it doesnt make sense, sorry.Jenn and i went and spent a couple hours watching birds tonight. she has had tonight on her calendar for months now and we were pretty excited. details below.
every year north west portland is inundated with small scrappy “swallow-like” birds. as part of their migratory pattern (every september) the Vaux Swifts pass through oregon, stopping for a few days in Portland, a few days in eugene, etc.
generally around the 12-18 of september, their concentration really ramps up and you will find beach blankets and torrents of people hanging out at Chapman Elementray school. a couple thousand spectators and 10,000+ small birds (a night), one chimney to roost in.
Chapman School is the largest swift roost in the world. I may not have all of my facts straight… Read the rest

new books in the mail
09.15.08 | Permalink | 5 Commentsa few weeks back i was fortunate enough to win some contests that other blogs i frequent were hosting.
it spawned me to decide a similar idea later on.. more on that later.
i held off on posting my joyous news until i had them in my posession, mainly because i am a sore internet user and i get sad when i am excited for somethings arrival and then it never comes. instead of moping publicly, i waited.
in my office at work over the last two work days, i recieved two fantastic packages.
the first was from Alisha over at thekoolaidmom.wordpress.com (In the Shadow of Mt TBR)
she held a giveaway of Why You Shouldn’t Eat Your Boogers and Other Gross or Useless Information About Your Body by Frances Gould.
she even sent it to me in a really cool package! (seen below)… Read the rest

Music, NOT Kick Ass
Barry Manilow and Jack Feldman
09.13.08 | Permalink | 12 Commentsboth of these men need to die.
I dont have much of an issue with either of them. overall, i like Barry. and Jack, well, he is a lyricist.. so whatever…
regardless of my on-the-fenceness with one and my total lack of regard for the other, they both need to be split in two and bled out by an angry and wrathful blood god. they need to have ants inserted in their wounds and then slowly be roasted over a napalm pit.
why?

Speaking of Wil Wheaton
09.10.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments
While i was looking for a good picture of Will to add to my last post, i ran across the above. i determined that it needed it’s own section.THAT IS A KICK ASS T-SHIRT MR WHEATON IS SPORTING
Tsunami Bomb is a kick ass band from California. I was introduced to them only a few months back by Jenn who was in turn referred by others.
Their website – http://www.myspace.com/tsunamibomb
and a song…
Band is primarily Popish punkish newwave, there are some definite ska undertones to the bass lines and some other aspects.
This specific song came off the “Invasion from Within” EP… all of which is very enjoyable.
I highly suggest checking out their body of work, i havent runinto anything i dislike at this point.… Read the rest

Kick Ass, Old Subject Matter
Top 8 search terms of the month.. oh yeah, and Wesley Crusher
09.09.08 | Permalink | 4 Commentsi get a perverse amount of pleasure reading the search terms that lead people to my site.
i do not post pornography or do anything bad with my site. so it surprises me when what amounts to basically a low level book blog / personal ranting space gets traffic from so many bizarre terms. This is not the first time i have written about this either.
i guess this is what i get for having being me… and for not having much of a filter on my writing style.anyway, the top 8 search terms of the month are as follows:
cold sweats and smelly cloudy pee
baby bologna market
bitch masterbates with a waterpump
girl masterbates with a pickle
gone to pee, leave my beer alone
where can i print midnight sun by stephanie meyer

review: sweetheart – chelsea cain
Sweetheart – my late review because i have been lazy
jennifer swiped the book right out of my sweaty palms when we gor home the night the book was released. 24 hours later, she dropped it back into my hands. she looked at me and i could see, as if i were a psychic, that i was going to drop the book i was reading and move on to sweetheart. sure enough, i must be a friggin psychic. 24 hours later (48 from when we bought it) both jenn and i were finished reading sweetheart. DAMN I WISH I WERE A SLOWER READER.
heartsick introduced us all to Archie, the vicoden popping torture victim portland detective. we met Susan, bizarre hair colored closet cigarette smoker oregon journalist with a penchant for married men. last but not least, gretchen lowell, pacific northwest serial killer wih 200 murders under her belt..… Read the rest
