All hail the shopping list

Week 4 ,
#8 & 9

I’m realising….Learning online is not the best method for me.
I’m very poor at setting aside time for myself to play. (Anything that’s not my normal ‘work’ seems like the wrong thing to be doing....not a good state for miss goody two shoes to find herself)

I'm not handling writing 'stuff' either. Although I generally consider myself quite an open person I am finding myself feeling quite uncomfortable sharing even the most mundane of my thoughts /opinions with anyone and everyone. Curious, as I'm sure no one gives a flying... anyway!

Also, I like the old pen and paper for writing ( letters, essays, lists…don’t you love lists….ideas, more lists)

Anyway, I have been completing my tasks and quite enjoyed this week. Here’s a link to some rss feeds I find useful and/or interesting including a library one, favourite clothing store and of course a ferret one. Oh joy!

As far as the feed finder/blog finding tools go, I am loathed to admit found google blog finder easiest to use (probably simply because we are all so familiar with google's format already) but thought the 'whats percolating' area of technorati's homepage a good idea too. I'm afraid I rejected the 'finding useful library blogs' suggestion but did use the tools to find some scrumptious perfumery blogs (one of my passions as I'm sure my co workers have scents(ed)by now...sorry if you don't like the smells guys..or the bad puns) .

A weasles tail


Week 3
#5 flickr

Sid was my beautiful , wonderful ,funny, intelligent, happy, goodnatured ,loving, thieving, soppy, snuggly, wriggly, long, weasely ferret.

He died just after Christmas last year and I still miss him and miss him and miss him and etc.

I thought I would make him famous.

He also became the only thing about this week's task that I particularly liked.

Although I think Flickr looks like a great place for people to do arty things with their photos (mashups etc.) and a good place for artists to showcase their wares and although I do agree it has some pretty excellent photos on it I found it kinda clunky to use and its applications time consuming.

I wasn't keen on the layout either.

I think photo bucket is much more user friendly.
