Like You Know?


Whew.  I thought I was enjoying some time "off," but Monday I set out to "kindle-ize" some out of print books (i.e., make them available via the Amazon Kindle reader), and that's been keeping me very busy.  Not only do I have to check the formatting, etc., but I keep finding words that I no longer use  much (like "suddenly") in the old text, and I'm driven to take them out!  

A friend sent me to this You Tube Video, a bit of poetry performed by a teacher. It's funny and profound, like the best humor is.  Enjoy . . . you know?  

(I'm beginning to think all the really opinionated people have moved to blogdom.)

"Like" started out as Valley Girl talk, didn't it? Not sure how the "you know" got added. Maybe it was insecurity and the need to have others agree with what one said. The latest that I'm hearing is: "you know what I mean?" or "you know what I'm saying?" at the end of every sentence. So many times I am tempted to say: "no, I don't!"

Arkansas Angie asked what I was Kindle-izing:

All five of the Keepers of the Ring series, THE JUSTICE, THE SHADOW WOMEN, THE PROPOSAL, AFTON OF MARGATE CASTLE . . . and I'm having to retype a large portion of THE TROUBADOUR'S QUEST. :-/ They're in the process now. :-)
