On Blogging

I decided to create this blog because I was mildly obsessed with Ms. Mindless's blog. Actually, I never understood people who spent their time at work sitting in cubicles reading blogs, until now. What a great distractor. Ms. Mindless's blog actually served as an incredible source of procrastination for writing my two grad school papers due last Thursday. If it wasn't for Ms. Mindless, I most likely would have gotten my papers done slightly ahead of schedule. At the same time, if it wasn't for Ms. Mindless I would not have been as entertained while writing my papers.

Ms. Mindless also introduced me to a fabulous jcrew search. You should all check it out. I call it the price search. Just go to jcrew and in the search section type whatever price you are interested in paying. I personally think $29.99 is a great number--right now there are many great shirts for that price. I love this search because it brings up everything that is $29.99, even things that may not be in the sale section if you search there. This is another great time waster.

My mom: "Cool..." She actually enjoyed this video about monkeys waitering more than my blog: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/world/2008/11/23/lah.jap.monkey.biz.cnn because this was her email reply to the monkey link: "WOW – thanks for sending that!"

My friend, Nora: (written in an email) "oh wow. you are one of those people now...."

My friend, Emily: "i'm famous!"

And my favorite reactions of all, thank you Altair and Erin, I really appreciate it:

From these responses, I am anticipating at least 2 followers and 4 occassional followers.
