Last night.

Last night, I went to my parent's house for dinner. Mom made fried chicken! I absolutely love mom's fried chicken! It's the best ever! We also had mashed potatoes and gravy, and corn. My parents make a really good potato salad, I was hoping we would have that, but we didn't, oh well, maybe next time. While I was there, we watched appollo 13, which I've probably seen 5000 times, but I still like it. After I came back, I watched twit live for a while, they're at the SXSW conference covering the parties, which is much fun to watch! On Saturday, the guy from twit even went croud surfing, which made me think that that would be fun, and that I want to do that someday. Or as I like to say, "I wanna do that too"!

Thursday 13 15

I did 13 of my favorite foods a while back, so, here are 13 of my least favorite foods.

1. Pie, (yep, I don't like pie!) I like cake, cookies, brownies, but just not pie!)


2. Pudding, I like ice cream and Jello, but not pudding.


3. Cottage cheese.


4. Yogurt


5. Cooked spinich, I like the leaves that you put in salads, but not the cooked stuff.


6. Sour cream.


7. Whipped cream, or coolwhip, or whatever you might use in place of cream in a spray can.


8. Brussels sprouts, I get sour crout and brussels sprouts confused, I like sour crout, but not brussels sprouts.


9. Sushi, even if I've never tried it, yeah, I know that's a bad thing to say, but... I would never eat anything raw, regardless!


10. Pears, I like fruit, lots of different kinds of it, peaches, grapes, pineapple, and strawberries to name a few, but pears? nope!


11. Peanut butter, with some exceptions of course, I'll eat peanut butter in any candy, cookies, or dessert, but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Didn't like them as a kid, yep, I'm weird.


12. beer, OK, beer is a drink, but I don't like it!


13. Cold coffee, iced coffee, or anything like that, again yeah I know it's a drink, but if I'm going to drink coffee, I'm drinking hot coffee or no coffee.

My tweets are back.

A while ago, (I don't exactly remember when,) I took the twitter widget off the blog, because it was showing someone else's tweets. I tried adding it again like a month or so later, and it was still doing it. I tried it again today, and now my tweets are my tweets again! Yep, you guessed it, another widget that takes up space on the page, (what can I say? I like widgets!) I think I'll add an email subscription thingy next, just in case there are people who read who don't use RSS.

Grocery shopping

Today, my dad and I went grocery shopping. We got done in about an hour, which is record time for us, (it usually takes about an hour and a half.) We stopped at Mcdonalds on the way home. I had the box with my hamburger on my lap, the box also had fries in it, (dad put all the fries in the bag, and just gave some to me,) and I had my pop between my legs. Dad was driving, and he stopped pretty fast, (fast enough just for the car to lurch forward,) just enough for the cup to fall out of my lap, and all the pop to be spilt on the floor of mom's escalade.

Thursday 13 14

13 places to find me, (sites I'm on.)

1. twitter


2. facebook


3. myspace I don't use myspace or facebook too much, I use and love twitter!


4. google buzz


5. posterous I use this for posting links I like.


6. Live journal I really should update this more often.


7. 43 things


8. tumblr I really should revive this one!


9. blippy Which I don't use too often, because I only have amazon and iTunes set up, and well, I don't shop enough!


10. friend feed I'm not sure why I'm mentioning this, Google buzz is almost the same thing.


11. mylikes


12. formspring.me A fun little site to ask and answer questions.


13. delicious Which I haven't used for a long time because of instapaper, which doesn't give user URLs but should.

I think I'll turn this into a blogger page too, so it will stay here after the post goes off the page, (even though it's still in the archives.)

The experiment is over.

I've just deleted my rss account on twitter. I will be going back to google reader starting tomorrow, (for the simple reason that I normally read feeds in the morning.) I did look at reader earlier, as in, I opened it up, and looked at how many items I had unread. I really like google reader as an rss reader, I also like twitter, but not for that purpose.

Update on the rss twitter experiment.

Since it has been a week today, I thought I would write an update post on my rss twitter replacement experiment. In short: I want to give it up! I haven't even looked at the tweets most days, (because I have to look at them tweet-by-tweet, and then find each thing I want to read.) Not only that, I usually only see the things on top, so I've missed a lot. In google reader, I don't just look at the things on top of feeds, I look at everything in that feed. Also, reader does a better job of filtering than twitter does. I subscribe to only the feeds I want to read, and I read only the posts I want to read, (using list view.) Oh yeah, when I find links I want to read, I've been sending them to instapaper, (because often times I don't find them all in one session,) guess where probably about 95% of those links still are? yep, instapaper! So yeah, I'm ready to give it up!

My rss/twitter experiment.

Today, (just in time for lent,) I've started an experiment in which I give up google reader and replace it with twitter. Ok, I don't usually celibrate/practice lent, but I thought this would be a good time to start this, (since I'm actually giving up something, LOL!) Basically, I created a 2nd twitter account, and followed as many of the sites I subscribe to in google reader, (or the ones that have a twitter account, anyway.) So far, when I find links I want to read, I'm sending them to instapaper, which is an application that will save links for later. Because I don't really want to take all day reading each thing, I want to do it when I want to do it. Yep, I've probably missed some tweets with interesting links in them, but that's the consiquence of not having it all there, whenever I want it. Yep, google reader does update, but it will pretty much keep everything, when my twitter client pulls in new tweets, those are the tweets I read, (and go through, tweet-by-tweet.) If I want to read more tweets, well, that takes more time. So, yeah, I don't think I'll make it through the 40 days of lent, but that isn't really the objective of the experiment, the objective is to see if twitter works as well, (or better,) than google reader for rss. So many people say they're replacing google reader with twitter, so far, I'm wondering why.

Last night.

The olympics started last night. As usual, I stayed up really late! I went to bed at about 12:30, and got up at 6:30, (the 6:30 part was completely by accident, of course!) I best get used to this, I'll most likely be staying up late for the next couple weeks. Should be fun! Even though I don't really watch this stuff throughout the year, (like I used to,) I'm still an olympics fan.

Blogger pages.

Today, blogger released a feature that I've been waiting for for a while! When I was on wordpress, they had this thing called pages, it's like a post, but it's a static page, (unless you decide to update it.) So, you can put stuf up there that doesn't change often. I just made one with my 100 things about me list in it. So, yeah, another reason for me to love blogger! Oh yeah, I'm not doing Thursday 13 today, for the simple reason that I can't think of anything to make a list about, (LOL!)
