Miscellany

...Because I haven't posted random verbiage for a while (no, really, I haven't, heh).

Here's a photo (well, cropped from a photo) I meant to post earlier this week. The outfit I wore to the party at the miniatures show. I'm sure you'll easily recognize me on the street if you see me now. heh

Something I'd normally post over on Presto Speaks! where I blog about blogging, but it'll reach a larger audience here: People, people, people, fellow bloggers all; if you want me to click your links, give me a clue what they are. This is fun, where "this" is the link, just won't cut it, okay. This new game is fun, with "This new game" being the link, is much better.

And while I'm on the subject of blogging pet peeves, I mostly read via Bloglines (and Brian McC, I'd still visit your blog if you had an rss feed, so why don't you have one, at least one Bloglines can find? Huh?), along with my LJ Friends List, and the blogs I follow total 250 or so, with many being photoblogs, plus some news services. So, if you all are blogging like fiends, and I'm on time constraints, I'm more likely to read what you have to say if you allow full entries in your rss feeds, not partials or headlines. I don't always have the time to click through to the full entry and do so only when I think I'll want to comment. So either I don't read the partials or I drop them and I don't want to drop anyone. Just thought I'd let those of you with no better than partial feeds know that I don't always read the full entry and why.

Meanwhile, Candy Addict points us to a video on making chocolate, From Bean to Bar.

Did I post this link before? If so, it's worth repeating: Bee Dogs. Link from Gothamist.

In TV news, "How I Met Your Mother" was greenlighted for the rest of the season, while its competition, "Kitchen Confidential" just got cancelled, which means, for Buffyverse alums, Allyson Hannigan beat out Nicholas Brendon. Here's hoping the former "Xander" lands a new gig soon.

And while I like the new people on Alias, it's not the same without Vaughn and with Sidney in a diminished role due to her pregnancy. Word is that Michael Vartan was back on the set, filming more Alias episodes to air in December. I hope that's true and can't wait to see if I guessed right what really happened with Vaughn.

And will those of you who are regular readers who haven't signed the f'in Frappr map do so already. You know who you are. Sheesh. I thought you'd be proud to proclaim your membership in Cyber Chocolate Realm.

I finished the two books I was reading, so reviews are now up on Shelly's Book Shelf. Once again, I've guaranteed that I'll have read at least one book a month this year. Go me!

Feeling:
