Tag: 30 lists

Funny how odd it seems to be making this list on my blog! I’ve never been much of one for blogrolls, even back when that was a major part of most blogs. I am, however, a voracious consumer of RSS feeds. I use Google Reader to manage them. Here are a few of my favorites.

• Whatever (John Scalzi)
• The Daily Dish (Andrew Sullivan)
• Velveteen Rabbi (Rachel Barenblat)
• Wim van der Meij (photoblog and etchings)
• Astronomy Picture of the Day
• Kottke.org (Jason Kottke)

Or, in my case today, in the pockets of my jacket!

• cell phone
• Framley Parsonage (The World’s Classics, Oxford University Press, 1957 hardcover pocket edition)
• bus schedules: 92 and 93

Goals? Who said anything about the blog having goals?

• originally, as the subhead says, an aide-mémoire (but only useful if I actively blog!)
• to vent on political or social topics for which I feel I have no other venue
• to be on record publicly
• to influence whoever might come across or follow the blog
• to be findable by old friends and coworkers

Oh, so mundane!

• do laundry
• buy cat litter
• sweep and vacuum (aka: terrorize the cats, unfortunately)
• launch “Opera with Otenth” on Radio Riel Sunday at noon EST with Don Giovanni
• turn futon (already partially accomplished!)

• Haven’t even started iTunes today.
• Going to a dance in Second Life tonight, so whatever Fuzz plays.

• the weekend
• seeing Janny
• Spring
• my sabbatical
• eldering for PSP at the Weed Lecture
• reading The Crippled God

• putting together the big picture from little details
• knitting
• making homefries
• avoiding doing laundry
• enjoying the sky
• providing a warm, soft place for cats to sleep

I found this meme-thing through a knitting blogger. It’s meant for scrapbookers, but I think it may serve as a good little blog jump-start. It’s 30 days of lists. And yes, I’m starting late.

A few things about me

• I grew up in California
• I’m an editor
• I like cold weather and snow
• I don’t like temperate weather and rain
• I share my house with two cats named after characters in Trollope novels
• I’m probably going to try doing this exercise twice simultaneously in two personae
