Sunday Surfing

Well, as you know, (or not), there is a controversy over the "pinkness" of this blog. I am choosing to ignore that controversy at the moment as I feel there is enough pink to go around. If some people are nice to me, I may publish a picture of me wearing pink, but I do not respond well to hostile comments.

Went to the Sold Out U2 concert last night (oh yeah). The last two songs of the encore were the highlight for me: They did "Yahweh" from How to dismantle... and "How Long (Psalm 40)," which I didn't know was a U2 song. We sing both of these at the OD. Maybe later I'll write more, but right now I'm a bit sleep deprived and I may have a cold.

So, this is your blog PSA (Public Service Announcement) via my friend in Boston, Susan Fry. (not a pseud.):

Okay, that was me playing with the italics. They are screwed up, but I finally fixed them.

So surfing. Susan also gave me a link to a super funny blog, Defective Yeti. I have enclosed at least two hysterical posts for your reading enjoyment. (They're currently the most recent posts, but anyways, it's my blog, I get to link it how I want to!)

Thursday morning before my doctor appt, I surfed for an hour. How do you know you've surfed long enough? When the item you started on (for me, an article in BlogBuzz on spam in blogs) shows up, as you've meandered through the Internet. I mean, I was clicking on links, going to Colorado, all over the blogosphere, and bam, there's a reference to Blogger's attack on spam. Yeah, time to go home. But here are some fun things I found:

• Neilson's top 10 for Bloggers: Neilson is this guy who does usability for web sites, etc. A library list serv I subscribe to will post one or two messages a week that are of interest to me. But Neilson's list will spawn many many responses and it's like having your own bulliten board in your email account, which can be boring (if it's about xml or government databases) or slightly interesting (when they start slamming Neilson.)
• This blog apparently goes against #4 on N's top 10. I thought it was funny, but don't have furthur commentary on it today.
• This looked intriguing. What the heck is a camera toss? (Converse among yourselves.)
• Don't remember what this blog/link is. But hey, I thought it worthy enough to save in a notepad document, so maybe it's the next great blog.
• And this:
  
  
  WORSHIP! You're inner Bombshell is the beautiful
  Audrey Hepburn. Like her you've been blessed
  with a "certain something" that no
  one could describe accurately. You are more
  reserved than other bombshells, and that shows
  in your gentle, graceful nature. You like doing
  things for other people and love volunteering
  for your favorite charity. Yours is a rare gift
  in this day and age. You don't need to show a
  lot of skin to be sexy, all you need is your
  eyes. To see Audrey at the top of her game
  watch the movie "Breakfast at
  Tiffanys".
  
  
  Who is your inner bombshell?

Which is kind of funny, since I hated "Breakfast at Tiffanys." Ah well, is she in Roman Holiday? I'll rent that. Here's an Audrey site that has music. I also abhored "My Fair Lady": some musicals should stay on Broadway, not go to to Hollywood.

Well, I think that does it for now...I have to go do all of my Beth Moore homework, since I didn't crack the book all week.
