"Men Are Only as Good as Their Technological Development Allows Them to Be"

So I've been horribly delinquent on reading Kim. And on writing blogs. There are multiple reasons for this:

1. My computer is currently in the hands of the Geek Squad. And I will refrain from calling them names or insinuating that their prices are an absolute racket until my computer and all of its contents (including all of my documentation of the book lists!) are safely returned to me in 100% functioning order (I heart you Geek Squad!! Smoochies!).
2. I have just recently climbed out of my post-vacation depression which consisted of :
• Despising doing anything that wasn't being on vacation,
• Coming home from work and mindlessly watching whatever reality show marathon would make me not think of the fact that that I was no longer on vacation, and
• Pondering ways to make more money to allow me to always be on vacation (this was usually done concurrently with the 2 above bullets).

So the post-vacation depression rendered my completely uninterested in Kim. Plus, in reading the first 5 pages, it's going to be a very language heavy book; the kind that you can find yourself having read an entire page, but have no idea what you just read because the language is so rich and intricate. So if it's that kind of book, I'm going to have to read it with attention and dedication. So generally not while the television is on in the background while I half watch what the chefs on Chopped are trying to cook up with navy beans, gummy worms, sardines, and Triscuits.

But I'm feeling more motivated. So I'm on it. I swear. By the end of the month. Fo' reals. Progress: still 247 books to go.
