So, I got an account at GoodReads.com, in which you catalog the books you're reading or the books you've read or the books you're going to read, and then make a network with your friends. There's reviewing, sorting, tagging....all the things we obsessives (I believe they call us "readers") can't resist ( Read more... )

I'm working at home this afternoon, on account of feeling crappy and having lots of busywork to do, and I sat down to watch the Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice with lunch (for the second time in three days, I might add).

So, apparently Martha Stewart has decided to brainwash reach out to the upcoming generation of ultra-crafty prepster-hipsters, and will soon be coming out with a new magazine called Blueprint. I was making my birthday list yesterday--we're very into lists, my family--and I added and removed a Blueprint subscription about eight times before I ( Read more... )
