Listalicious

I’ve been finding it hard to find anything to say here in the last week, so in an attempt to break that writer’s block, here is a list of things I have been thinking about/doing recently: (Lists always make me feel better.)

In Life:

• Taking pictures. I’ve taken custody of my parents’ Canon Powershot, and have been taking lots of pictures just about every day. Although only a small fraction of said pictures have made their way onto Flickr… most of the ones worth looking at have.
• Mom and I finished up the reorganization of my room… basically. I do have some pictures of that to post, including of my computer workspace setup, but I can’t post all my good content at one time! So I’ll save those for a day or two.
• I forgot to mention it, but I really enjoyed watching the winter olympics in Turin. They were wild! That reminds me… you know Shaun White, the US gold medalist snowboarder with the mop of red hair, a.k.a. “The Flying Tomato”? Well, my friend Noah has given me a new nickname: “The Sitting Tomato.” Ever since he had this epiphany he’s also called me “The Moping Tomato,” “The Whining Tomato,” “The Drawing Tomato,” etc. He’s pretty proud of himself. *sigh*
• I’ve had the plague for the last half week. I knew it would come around eventually… luckily it hasn’t hit me as hard as it did several of my friends. I didn’t even get a fever, just sore throat, runny nose, standard icky stuff. Today I’ve felt pretty okay, but my nose has been itching like crazy the whole day. I can never really be sure, at any given moment, that I’m not going to suddenly explode in sneezes. (It HAS happened.)

In Technology:

• Ma.gnolia, the new kid on the block of social bookmarking, launched recently. I haven’t used it to any great extent yet, but I plan to try out it’s link-rolling capability in my sidebar sometime soon.
• Blogmad also recently launched (in beta). I had signed up with them before they launched, so I’m able to try out the beta… and I have to say, I’m impressed with how many page hits I’ve gotten from them. However… the ‘credits’ system that they use is a little confusing. I don’t really know how to use it.
• I just have to point out this awesome wallpaper that I snagged from Jackieocean. It is Lost-a-licious.
• I’ve been giving a great deal of thought to the whole mac vs. windows debate recently, because I am thinking of getting a laptop sometime this year. I have a lot to say about it, but I’m going to save that for a bit later. Actually, you’ll be hearing a great deal more about it… I have a bit of something up my sleeve… *suspense*

For now, I shall leave you with the picture of the small but friendly donkey who lives on my bookcase:

For extra credit, spot the unintentional easter egg in this picture. Lol… if you click on the picture, the Flickr note will spill the beans. See if you can find it first.
