Week 6: #14 exploring Technorati

Hmmm.....I went and poked around at Technorati.....and I must say......those lists of top rated and favorite blogs....well....they do not make my list of favorites. I really have to wonder why so many people are reading those!
I come across very interesting blogs in a much different manner.....via personal recommendations! I think I'll stick with that manner.....good old-fashioned word of mouth.....can't beat it.

Week 6: #13

I went to del.icio.us and viewed the video.....I also created an account.
After looking around a bit, I was not all that impressed. I guess I'm the old dog who does not like to learn new tricks. I think I'll stick with my old ways of bookmarking sites....but thanks for the heads up anyways. I may bookmark it for use later....'cause "you never know!" LOL!.....ok....you would have to have watched my Jumper trailer to get that little bit of humor.....

Week 5: #12 Library Elf

I managed to log onto the Library Elf site.....but I do not think it is something I wish to use.
I can see that it may be helpful for someone who does not already receive this type of information from their library....or someone wanting to combine accounts/information.....but it is not for me.

Here is a preview for a new movie based on Steven Gould's "Jumper" books....
By putting it into my blog, I am entered into a chance to win a free trip for two to anywhere! So wish me luck!
I actually did win a trip to London once......back when I was in high school. I filled out about a million entry forms from some candy company...MM/Mars I think.....and actually won a trip for two to London for a week! Bummer that I could not go....my parents went instead......so I'm thinking they owe me a trip.....
Anyways...enjoy the trailer! It looks like an awesome adaptation of the books!

Week 5: #11 Library Thing

OK...I have set up my account at Library Thing and added my five books.

Here is the link to my "library".....

I have added three of Steven Gould's sci-fi books.....His "Jumper" series....
and here is a picture of Steven Gould.....


He is all excited because the trailer for the movie "Jumper" has just been released......he's excited because he's gonna make a boatload of money off his books now! LOL!
This is what he posted on his blog site:
just saw the trailer for Jumper.Let’s just say “It doesn’t suck.”Oh my god, this is going to be HUGE!

(Yes, the trailer isn’t supposed to be released until midnight tonight (EDT) but the international trailer apparently went online last night.)

Yes they made changes but I’m delighted at how much from the books is showing up onscreen.



Here....I'll give you the link to the trailer....'cause I'm in such a generous mood today....Its gonna be a great movie! Jumper trailer link

I also put a digital scrapbooking book on my list.....and the fifth book? Well.....its this one!
Yeah! Porn For Women! Now....hold on....don't be thinking that! LOL!
This book has no naked men in it.....instead there are men doing things that really make a woman hot....Things like:






I may have to make this one my requested book next year.....

Week 5: #10 Image Generators


I have played around with avatars a lot already. I did browse through the sites listed in this exercise...but I prefer making my own avatars in Photoshop.
The one you see here is one I made that I feel reflects me pretty well. It says:
I live in fantasyland....and I have oceanfront property! Yup! That about sums it up for me! LOL!
Its fun to make avatars and switch them around depending on the site I am using them for.....I also enjoy making siggie bars to go at the end of my posts......Unfortunately, I cannot post some of those here....don't want to let you in on too many of my secrets...**wink wink**
If I find some spare time...I'll make one up especially for here!

I have also meezed before ...that is fun as well....let me see if I can pull up my old meeze for you...
See....I'm reading the books that I am supposed to be shelving!

Steve Martin- King Tut SNL


My daughter is doing a book report on King Tut....and it also involves making King Tut out of a 2 Liter soda bottle....
So we're working in researching King Tut. I go to on the internet to look up some images of Tut to use and came across this youtube clip from SNL in 1978.....back when SNL was funny....


...oh! you may need to hit the pause button on my playlist before playing this clip--------->

Week 4 : #8....

I've been reading the info on the RSS feeds.....there is a lot of material to cover...
I did set up my BlogLines and subscribed to some feeds...not up to 10 quite yet as it takes a lot of time to dig through the choices.....and not much there really appeals to me I'm afraid. I guess I like trivial type information...I'm not one to read the newspaper or watch the news on TV.
If I want to find out what is going on in the world......I just read the NSBR thread at the scrapbooking message board. Those gals post about everything! I mean....EVERYTHING!
For instance: when I logged on today and zipped through the threads...I found out all kinds of "important" stuff:
......I found a thread on frugal shopping tips
......I learned about the Hannah Montana ticket sales outrages and why there is such a heated uproar from parents all around the country who cannot find the tickets at a reasonable price...
.....I found out what to google in order to find naked pictures of Brad Pitt....uh.....yeah.....they are out there all right! LOL! (can I just say this: Brad, dear.....you need to do a little trimming, hon!)
.....I found out that Britney Spears lost custody of her kids
.....I found "Survivor" spoilers
.....I found ideas for dinner as well as recipes for Pot Roast
.....I learned about the "Lost" reference in last nights episode of "Chuck"
.....I found a link to the first two chapters of John Grisham's new book
.....I found out where I can order a calendar featuring shirtless Mormon missionaries...and while I'm on that subject....I'm wondering why the heck the cutie Mormon missionaries are all being sent to the third world countries and I only get the geeky looking ones at my door....hmmm.
.....and I learned what games are funnest for Wii
and on and on and on and on......
I doubt I could have acquired all this knowledge from any RSS feeds.....so...sorry...but I do not think I'm going to be a fan of the RSS ....it just doesn't cater to me....at least from what I have seen so far.
