Week 5 almost at an end! //LibraryElf

It was very simple to create an account with LibraryElf. I am not too excited about this site seeing that I attempted to set up reminders through my hotmail and never really check them. At least now I cannot blame not knowing my items are due.
Hey, its Friday!

Week #5...still: LibraryElf

I am unable to do the libraryelf exercise b/c it is temporarily down :(
Hopefully, I will be able to work with it next week. Maybe, iHCPL bombarded its site with too many users that it was overwhelmed.
Oh well.

Week #5 Avatar!!!

My attempt to make my own avatar. I don't think it looks much like me but they do not have many full size options. It doesn't snow in Houston, but I want the cold weather to come.

Week 5: LibraryThing

I love being able to share my interests with other people. It is hard to find people in my circle of friends that I can talk to about suggestions without them thinking I am a dork. I don't take offense to that at all; I relish the fact that I know the benefits of a good read. About a year ago, I set up an account with Shelfari, but never logged on again to see what else was new or posted.
Happy reading!

Instant potatoes, where have you been all my life?!

I love potatoes. I think I read somewhere that they are a good food item when you are down b/c they help release serotonin or something like that. I want to be domesticated. I really do. I have my moments where I go and buy stuff and say that I will cook. Then one or two weeks pass, and I have to dump out the smelly rotting food. I spoke with a friend about how I could live off of mashed potatoes, but I get lazy having to boil them and all that jazz. She suggested I purchase instant mashed potatoes. For some reason, I always felt that if I resorted to eating instant foods (just add water types), I would have hit rock bottom. I don't know why, maybe b/c I use the microwave so much, I feel that some aspect of my cooking should entail actual work.
Anyway, I went to Kroger's, picked up a pack of instant potatoes (the loaded kind, this was no time to be a health nut). I went home and tested it out. I have to say, for being under a dollar, this was very satisfying. I may have to just modify my cooking theory a bit.

Post #9...aye

I consider myself rather techno savvy, why am I having a hard time finding feeds?! I added a couple of sites that I check fairly regularly:

The Tokyo Incidents

Postsecret

and http://web.mac.com/davidleeprice/dviad/dddvvviiiaaaddd.html

Yeah, I know its a long url, but he chose that nonetheless. I got onto Feedster and typed in a couple of searches. I first looked up New York and I came across an article about Wes Anderson (a favorite director of mine) and his new movie. I would love to see Wes have his own blog but he is probably busy being uber-indie and pensive. I should be too. I then typed in 'bearded dragons' and came across a site that posts by different Lizard owners. I thought it would be nice to feed to this blog, but I think it will only depress me to know that I am a horrible parent to my lizard; I am not ready for that truth. Either way, I have enough feeds to keep me busy, at least until the end of the week.

Week 4?

I know this should be easy but I am kind of having a hard time subscribing to feeds. I am a bit confused as to what feeds we can subscribe to. For the past 15 minutes (more like 30-oops), I have been browsing feeds to subscribe to and selected a few that deal with photo blogging and the like. I now go back to iHCPL and see it states we should subscribe to 10 NEWSfeeds. Aye, I am ready for the weekend.
But I tend to digress, I did successfully subscribe to a friend's site and another friend who has a livejournal. I added PostSecret which is my Monday morning caffeine so to speak. I really wish I had the internet at home but that would mean I would spend even more hours staring at a computer screen and I question the health risks of that.
hmm...I should see how to attach my bloglines' name on here so that everyone can like what I like!
