Warning: I'm armed with a laser scanner, I'm hazardous to your books' health
I watched the results show for American Idol yesterday. I'm happy to see that Blake Lewis and Chris Sligh made it through to the next show. I was also very happy to see that Jordin, Sabrina, and Lakisha made it through as well. I was kind of hoping that Antonella would get voted off. I do not like her at all every since she was mean to Baylie during Hollywood week. There's no way she's making it to the top 12.
I also watched Grey's Anatomy. It was a good episode though thoroughly predictable. I am so behind on watching "The Dresden Files". I have the episodes. I just haven't gotten around to watching the last few recently. I had wanted to win tickets so my dad and I could go to the Raleigh Blues Festival. Alas, I did not win tickets. However, I did pick my dad up from work and made my homemade lasagna for my parents. They enjoyed it immensely, especially since they rarely ever eat pasta due to their strict diet.
I checked the mail before getting home last night, and lo and behold, my scanner from Collectorz.com had arrived. Wheeeeeeeeeee! I was so excited. I opened the package and set it all up and then realized that the scanner needs 3 AAA batteries. Triple A? I have a lot of AA batteries, but not AAA batteries. Luckily, my neighborhood is across the street from a Food Lion and a Hardware store. Of course, I went out and bought some batteries. The scanner is awesome and easy to use! I did get thrown for a loop though with some of the books I was scanning. I was scanning the bar code on the back of the books and some of them would not scan an ISBN # like it should, instead it would scan the bar code #. Of course, Book Collector couldn't find these books with the Bar code #. It needs the ISBN #. So, I thought I would have to manually type these ones in. Except, later on, I realized that the ones that had this problem had a bar code on the inside of the front cover. When I scanned that Bar code, the ISBN # would pop up in the program. Hooray for me! Of course, then I remembered seeing the cashier at Barnes and Noble scan the inside cover bar code for several of my books every time I check out. Anyway, I managed to scan in one of my bookshelves containing 261 books.
Now, I just need to scan in my other bookshelf of books. Then, I can get started on doing all the details for each of my books such as Date of Purchase, Store Purchased in, whether or not I've read the book, Book rating, Reading Date, and etc. All of this is going to be very time consuming. I can even write some notes about the book itself as well. I love that the software will automatically download the cover and summary and other information automatically. Have I mentioned how much I love this program? I feel like a librarian every time I use it. I can even Loan books out with my program that way I can keep track of who has my books.
Well, I've got some more scanning to do before going to work. I hope this weekend won't be too eventful, although I do have to deal with a Nascar race on Sunday. Later.
