Week #5 - Play week - avatar

This week is my online version of spring break. I have created an avatar, an alternate personality, so to speak. Well, she is blonde, like me, but she is thinner - who doesn't want to be thinner? After all the possible choices on yahoo - wardrobe, background, etc., now I have to attempt to upload my girl. Here goes ...

Well, that went pretty well. Yahoo was very self-explanatory and made it easy! It is a challenge being cyber-social, I must admit, in blogging. My avatar is in the top left of the blog.

So I lightly looked at Rollyo and don't think I need more than I have with bloglines and Google reader and local Yahoo news.

Virtual news bombardment doesn't seem like my thing today considering the real-time weather is so nice. I like to web-wander and have the freedom to take a walk without a plan - can we say spontaneity and impulsive? Maybe I will revisit this concept later ... when the sun goes down.

I checked out Library Thing or thang and I can see the ocd need to organize my books. I have done it with my music CDs, VCR tapes and DVDs back in the day and then I moved. And life got in the way of trying to be obsessively organized ... where's a good snow storm when you need to get things done at home, huh?

I can see the benefit of others' opinions. I guess this is a good place for aspiring book critics. It does seem like a great platform for eBay but that would be sacreligious. No no no used bookstore owners. My question is: who has time to catalog their books when all they really want to do is READ?
