Okay, this is really embarrassing.  I was reading My Shiny Freak - a vamp fic that is a little on the crack fic side.  Anyway, it seems Jesus is a vampire.  That reborn on the third day? Yeah, you got it.  A hippie vampire. Carlisle got him started on the vegetarian way of life, but he is still a little strange. He likes orgies.  No one else wants to join him though.

So my Kindle just died by freezing on a page.  A page where they are at Bella and Edward's wedding in Volterra.  All of the immortals are guests, including Jesus.  At right at the top of the page is the line "Jesus shouted "Orgy! Orgy!"'   

Then there is something about Marcus who is drinking blood in a cup from Joe Jonas (he is a big Jonas Bros fan) They thought they were donating to a blood drive.   

So this is being returned to Amazon.  Yeah.  Hopefully no one will be insulted by reading that some guy named Jesus is wanting an orgy.   

Did I mention my Kindle died?     

 

So sorry!  But so funny! 

Yeah, they *should* but I changed the way itunes handles downloads from automatic to manual and now I have no idea which ones I need to add automatically. I'd have to go through them all individually,  ugh!   It's been months of downloads since I've synced. I tried to change it back to automatic from manual but iTuns gives me a message that states that if I proceed everything will be deleted from my iPad.  I'm afraid to do it!

 

This is what I do, in case it will help you:

Don't switch it to automatic, keep it in manual.
Then sync your ipad to itunes
Once sync is done, go to the books section in itunes and sort your books accdg to date so you'll see which are the latest ones you've downloaded.
Then just click those you want to transfer to your laptop, select copy,
go to windows explorer in your PC, to the folder you want to copy it to and select paste.

Then you can change ipad setting to automatic download as at least you know you've already synced and copied eveything you want to your laptop/PC.

If you save all your books into one specific folder, your computer will tell you if a file of the same name exists so you know it is there already so just say Yes to All so it overwrites duplicate files. this way, you won't have multiple copies of a file.

well, the above really only works if you have folders in your PC where you want to sort your stuff.
i have folders for real books 2012, real books 2013, done real books, fanfic 2012, fanfic 2013 and done fanfics so i know where exactly to paste it and look for it later on.

In ipad, i automatically move the book i am reading to my Done library. To save space on my ipad and help sort my PC, after I sync and copied all the files, i will then look at the titles in my ipad's Done library. Based on the date indicated in Itunes, i know which folder it is in my PC, drag the file in my PC  to the Done folder in my PC. Then i delete it in iTunes and in my ipad so when i sync it, the said book will no longer appear in my ipad. When I feel like rereading a fave book or fanfic, i just copy it back to itunes then sync so it will appear again in my ipad. 

Bec I do it this way, I have not touched Calibre except to convert some files. i don't want to step on the proverbial minefield of Calibre's full functionality... I am addicted to books and fanfic, am just at the low thousands in my hoard stash right now and I am already "anxious" to read them all. i don't want it to blow up to the high thousands otherwise I will just go crazy! 

Can you access it from the file when you attach it to your computer?  My husband has an 1st gen iPad, but I don't really play with it.  I guess tomorrow I could play around to see how it works.  He goes to bed early with it - he has to get up in the middle of the night. to be at work by 4 am.

Wow.  You guys are the best.   

I'm putting my kids to bed now and then am going to spend some time with my husband but I will try your suggestion tomorrow Booked.    Your description of what you do sounds exactly like what I need to do and sorting by date will be so helpful!   Thanks for your wonderfully detailed description!

When we all get together the first round is on me!

Hmm.  Blood vs electricity.  I could do that....

Sigh.  Totally dead.   

Did you check if it is charged ? 

Seriously though, sometimes rebooting it helps. Either completely powering it off or is there an emergency "reset" action? I find that my sister's nook (which was jailbroken) had to be reset by holding down the center button and the power switch at the same time for around 10 seconds until it restarts. I have done this too for my old ipod, i hold both buttons down until the apple logo appears again. 

   

He's just giving her a quick kiss hello, right?  I mean, if he liked her, regardless of what he's holding, he would put his arms around her. Right?  Right?

 

Settle down, settle down!

It was his last night in Toronto. He went out with a large group from MttS and he was just saying his goodbyes and thank yous. They all got a kiss and a hug.

Have you seen this pic? It does funny things to my tummy!



The pouty lips? The dorky beanie? Angry Birds or Candy Crush?

I read on a blog (that is blocked here at work) that someone was watching the filming of a scene yesterday with Julianne Moore. They get into the backseat of the car he drives (he plays a chauffeur), and when she gets out, she wipes her thighs off with a scarf.

*insert fainting gif that is also blocked at work here*

Am really loving this fic  . This made me all hot and bothered, picturing it was Rob.   Damn! Written p0rn is hot!

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

And this one, so funny yet sacrilegious at the same time

We try to remember to change the subject bar when we're talking fics, so look there first. It doesn't always work - I get so involved in the chat that often forget to change it. Booked remembered because...she's awesome!

You were a chatty bunch today! I am stuck at school for a meeting that starts at 7pm, using my work computer to catch up on all of the important things.

And you say I'm pervy? Freudian slip, perhaps? Hmmm?

I'm really not that pervy - and nowhere near as kinky as limomx2, obviously (Madam Shit Scruncher!  ).

Is this really an unknown term? It's meant to say a lot about a person's personality. We have radio shows that always ask this of celebs when they do a rapid fire question segment at the end of an interview. I just assumed it was a common question asked the world over.

Wow, you do learn something new everyday!  Never once gave this a thought in my entire life until i saw this. I am a "folder" but the accompanying description doesn't really match me (neat? on time??)...So maybe i am a scrunder or folcher personality wise? 

A nal is awesome!

Yes - I wrote that. 

I've had 3 hours sleep in the last 37 hours. I got home from work at 10pm.

I'm going to bed now before I write something else stupid.
