Bookcycle…

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to boycotting the Internet since my last blog and I’ve pretty much accomplished that goal. I haven’t been spending much time online at all. Unfortunately, I haven’t been doing anything productive either. I’ve been working, resting, watching a lot of episodes of Mission Impossible (the series) and doing other stuff, but nothing creative. I downloaded this new drawing program that I’m trying to learn, but until I learn it I won’t be doing much drawing.

I think I may finally start reading some books that I bought. I bought a few new books from a book club and I bought some used books from a few sites online, including Amazon books. There’s such a great selection of new and used books online, but I almost always buy used books over new books when I can. I think it’s nice to recycle and reuse books. Maybe book publishers wouldn’t agree, but used books are my favorite for many reasons. Not just because I’m cheap!

Blogless…

I need new blogs to read. I really don’t read any blogs anymore. When I first took an interest in blogging I used to have so many cool blogs to read, but now there are none. I guess I have social networks to blame for that. Everyone wants to talk about their day in 140 characters or less. No one appreciates the lost art of blogging anymore. If I actually had interesting things going on in my life right now I would be blogging every day like I used to. However, things are pretty boring and lame around here. I’m not even interested in my own life!

I think I’ll try to start blogging more often next month. I might even start a blogging 365 or something to encourage me. Hopefully I can find other blogs to read as well. I wonder if there are a lot of personal blogs and art blog directory submissions that I can check out. That’s what I’m really interested in!

Cyber Shopping…

I’m so exhausted. I’ve been up all night. I had to work last night so I haven’t been able to get any sleep yet. I’m going to wind down now so I can go to sleep in about 30 minutes. I hate that my sleeping schedule is going to be thrown off again. My sleeping pattern has been a little weird lately because I have the flu and it’s been causing me to sleep a lot. And last night I had to stay up all night because I worked late. Ugh.

I’m surfing the Internet right now trying to see if they’re any good Cyber Monday sales. I really want to buy a laptop today but I’m trying to fight the urge. I might give in if I find a deal that I can’t pass up. I was also looking at computer desks, office supplies, mattresses, and bookshelves. I don’t think I’ll be able to get any of those things until income tax time, but it’s good to look around and see what’s available!
