Free iTunes Downloads: Boredom Zappers

While updating some of my blogs, I checked out the iTunes Store again for free downloads. And I guess I was really lucky as I was able to download three : two short films and one TV show episode. I really love it when I download potential boredom zappers for free. I am so happy with my latest iTunes free downloads that you'd think I found the fountain of youth or inherited a gold mine.

Below are my latest boredom zappers. The first two are short films from the Glamour Reel Moments series of award-winning films so I am betting they're good. The last one is the first episode of How's Your News?, Season 1. The How's Your News? feature film won many awards so the TV show might be just as good. Or even better.

I'm thinking of watching one of the short films just before I sleep. My pick is The Monday Before Thanksgiving Streak and I sure hope it's worth my precious disk space.

Dreaming of a Home Office

I want to have my own home office, complete with comfortable home office furniture. I prefer a comfortable, sturdy desk and a padded chair with ample arm and back rests. For people like me who spend hours blogging and surfing the internet, having a home office is always better than working in the bedroom or using dining room furniture.

I searched for information on home office furniture and found a site called Furniture From Home. The site offers information on home furniture, home office furniture, and even bedroom furniture pieces like the black armoire. They also have lots of pictures on different types of furniture in their gallery so those who are looking for information on furniture for the home and home office will find it quite useful.

Blogging and Sleeplessness

March 3, 2009 (10:00 pm)

With much regret, I stopped reading the ebook I was about to finish and pushed the home button of my iPod Touch. I have also decided not to blog for the night and not to wait for the latest upload of Boys Before Flowers. I then called Lyle to tell him that I'm hitting the sack early. I had to be up early or else...

March 4, 2009 (1:45 am)

I woke up sweating. I must've been dreaming. I grabbed my phone to look at the time. Damn! It isn't even 2:00 am yet. Stupid body clock!

So I pulled myself out of bed, turned on the laptop, and decided to blog. And maybe plurk a little.

My room was, all of a sudden, suffocating. So I decided to work in the dining room. I picked up my laptop and unceremoniously placed it on top of the dining table. Fleetingly, I made a mental note to thank Lyle for my router and then went back to the room to grab a couple of reference books.

I decided to make an entry for my nursing blog, Ward Class. I haven't been giving the blog the attention it deserves. I knew what the blog entry will be about. The topic has been decided a couple of nights before. A simple look at the categories told me it has to be about Endocrine Disorders. Yeah, I told myself, e-n-d-o-c-r-i-n-e.

So I made a blog entry on Pheochromocytoma. More of struggled with a blog entry on Pheochromocytoma. And after hitting the publish post button, my phone rang. It was Lyle, telling me that the PRC-Board of Nursing released a memo recheduling the date of the June 2009 Nursing Board Exam.

Lyle also suggested that I blog about this new development and update a previously published post on the June 2009 Nursing Board Exam schedule. He already blogged about it at Pinoy R.N., his nursing blog. So typical of him, I thought.

After completing my blogging tasks, I thought of my progress for the past couple of hours. And I was like..whaaaat? Two blog posts at Ward Class in less than 2 hours? Remarkable. My nursing blog is by far the most difficult to maintain.

Hmmm...I kinda like this productive side of me. However forced. However unnatural. Admittedly, I can't do it on my own. I really need to be egged into being. And again, I made a mental note to thank Lyle.
