Week 6-Digital Music

I've used YouTube music often. When it's working properly, I like it because it's simple and pretty basic to use.

I signed up for last.fm and used Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beatles and The Monkees for my music guidelines. I was pretty happy with all the songs selected.

Most of my music comes in the car. I never seem to remember to play a CD instead of the TV at home. My first record player was a Close-N-Play my Mom bought at a yard sale. Then I inherited my brothers' stereo and it had an 8-track too so I was pretty darn cool! (Me and my Donny Osmand album!)I didn't get a CD player until 1997. I still don't trust that newfangled equipment so our house hasn't bought a MP3 player yet.

Delicious and RSS Feeds

Today's been a great day for catching up. Still no Internet at home so I'm still fighting for time to get a lesson done.

I think if I can get into the habit of using Delicious instead of favorites, I'll love it. It will just be a matter of changing my habits.

I can also see the perks of using RSS feeds too but wonder if it might be too addictive. I can't see spending a chunk of my work day reading a feed that will most likely be partly professional and partly just for fun. Although I do get a lot of program ideas that way. Maybe I'll need a class at the end of 24 Things to help me organize all my new blogs, feeds and organizational methods into a manageable little box.

I subscribed to the Library's Newly Ordered DVD. I'm always jealous when someone else gets the newest movie with whoever before me.

FaceBook and Tweeting

Tanya and I spent some time getting ourselves caught up a bit in our lessons this afternoon. Only had to call Tammy over twice but we gifted her with chocolate in appreciation.

I've been on FaceBook for some time now and really enjoy it. I've connected with cousins who (like me) are horrible at regular communication. I feel like I'm getting to know them all over again and finally as grown-ups. Heck, we have a lot in common and it's nice to be a part of each others lives again. I've also reunited with old friends from school even going back to grade school. And it's a nice ego booster when an old boyfriend posts on your wall...a lot!

Twitter-I'm not so sure this is for me. It seems sort of redundant if I use it along with FB. Just how often do people want to hear from me anyway? I doubt I'll use Twitter too much after this class is over.

Wiki Part 2

I've added links before but my blog won't connect today. As a result, I'm going to take a break from Wikis for tonight and will try again tomorrow. Maybe I'll hijack Pammie to see if she can help me.

Wiki Part 1

I looked around the Wiki's listed and much to my surprise liked Libsuccess even more than Knit Wiki. I was excited to find the programming page but disappointed there was so little to read. Although I can see where Wiki's could be helpful but as a part of my daily work load, I don't think they're for me. At least not until I can find one that is added to on a regular basis.

Whine, Whine, Whine

I've been sick since Friday but made it through work on Saturday. Had to call in on Monday and thank goodness was off on Tuesday. I didn't touch yarn or pick up a book for 3 days. Our computer caught a virus so we're without the Internet at home. I miss my FaceBook and Ravelry and I'm late with my 24 Things homework! And on top of it all...I'm stuck in this Tea Party meeting when I could be at my desk in the peace and quiet of the workroom.

I want to move to Arizona. No snow and no hurricanes. I'll wear sturdy boots and stomp on the scorpions!

Redundancy No More, No More Redundancy

I've just noticed that I'm dating my posts and of course they're automatically dated as part of the blogging process. For those of you who've been giggling at me without letting me in on the joke (thanks BTW), a big HAHA to you. You'll have to find something else to laugh about. I'll be a good friend and do something else silly for you soon.

We had a great stitching class yesterday. Aimee and Carol had four brand-new quilting students that heard about us from another class they're taking. I signed up Rose as an offical library volunteer. That makes four out of six that are currently working programs with me.

Hit the Latonia Kroger for groceries after work and paid a whopping $1.93 per gallon for my gas--Yahoo me! Especially since I'm driving Zachary's truck this week and it has a huge tank.

Today is supposed to be my catch-up day. I'll catch-up the laundry, my Internet postings, my family and stitching. If I'm lucky, I'll also find time to hit SilverLake up and start the week off with good intentions/actions. Wish me luck!
