Favorite non-work related blog

Have you ever checked out Go Fug Yourself? I swear it gives me more amusment than anything else on the web (except for Televisionwithoutpity of course!). This blog takes making fun of celebrities and their clothing to a whole new level. Jessica and Heather (the bloggers) must be around my age because I almost always can relate to their pop culture references--usually having to do with 90210 or Sweet Valley High. I read this blog daily and am always slightly depressed on the weekends because it isn't updated. If you enjoy reading intelligent snarky comments about fashion (or lack there of), do yourself a favor, and read Go Fug Yourself!

Thing 2 Part 2

Wow, I'm on a roll now. For this assignment I needed to link to a blog that was about libraries.

Here is the R.B. House Undergraduate Library Blog. I selected this one because it is run by my very dear friend, Suchi Mohanty. Suchi and I attended UNC School of Information and Library Science together. This blog appears to let people know about new resources at the library. I'll have to ask her how many people read it and how do they advertise it next time we chat.

Here's a better photo of Langson. From what I gather, architects in the Sixties really thought this was forward-thinking and futuristic. UCI was even used in some Planet of the Apes movie as it looked like it could be the setting of some futuristic world. UCI was also used in the film "Ocean's Eleven". When I found this out, I was pretty excited. But it turns out they filmed only at the medical school which is ten miles down the road in Orange. So sadly Brad Pitt, George Clooney, and Matt Damon were not hanging out here.

So this is a test. I searched for photos of campus, selected one, and clicked on "blog this". The building in this picture is Langson Library, where I work. It is certainly not that pretty or interesting but I'm quite happy with the interior.

Next Step--Flickr

Okay I've set up my Flickr account through Yahoo and made sure Google has added my blog to Flickr. Whew, who knew there would be so many entities involved? Now what? I'm still looking for information on how to take an image from Flickr and post it here.

Posting a picture

So as part of the UCI Library Ten Things I am required to post an image to my blog. This picture was taken when my family came to Orange County for a visit in Nov. 2007. Bethany and I are doing the classic "Look, no hands" on the ferris wheel located on Balboa Penisula. This is a pretty rinky-dink ferris wheel designed for children. Once on the ride, I soon came to the realization that I am not as cool as my four-year old neice. I did not enjoy being high up in a mental contraption that swayed. Still I had to pretend that I wasn't anxious to not appear like a total loser. I managed this pretty well since I look fairly calm in the picture. Okay now I need to go explore Flickr.
