Return of the Blog-I

Flash forward: it's been just over a year since Learn & Play and not surprisingly, I did abandon my no-longer-required-for-work-incentives blog. But, lest you judge me for being lazy, I DID enroll in Kent State University to obtain my MLIS, hence the recent update. You guessed it: class requirement.

A few of my favorite Things

When I found out youtube was going to be part of this, I knew straightaway that that was going to be my favorite Thing. My favorite surprise website that I never would have found if not for Learn & Play was the aptly named Stumple Upon. There is so much fun lurking under all those little links. Other noteworthy things I explored during the Learn & Play journey are the Pandora music website and the build-your-own Lego person image generator. I also really liked reading other CML staff members' blogs.
So...I guess this is goodbye. Thanks for the flash drive! Adieu, adieu, parting is such sweet sorrow....

Take one down, pass it around, one more Learn & Play Thing on the wall!

I don't use exclamation points lightly, so this means I'm very excited to be this close to the Learn & Play finish line. It has not always been easy to find the time to explore and blog, so I feel that I've accomplished quite a bit.
I went to MOLDI and I figured out how to download audio books. Usually the only audio books I check out are of the stand-up comedy variety, for when I'm driving to and from my hometown. However, I have heard nothing but good things about the Harry Potter books and the amazing one narrator that does all the voices. Sadly, I can't seem to find Harry Potter books on this site. Under Adult Science Fiction & Fantasy, it goes from The Harlequin to Hart's Hope, in Children's it's Harry and the Dirty Dog to Hat, and the only Teen H title listed is Huckleberry Finn. This seems like an appropriate time to point out that this Thursday at midnight would be so much more awesome if I was able to spend it sitting in a movie theater about to watch The Half-Blood Prince. Until July 2009, I suppose Potter fans will have to settle for puppets:

If this Thing was an American citizen it could drink

I went to podcastalley.com and found both Nobody Likes Onions and Wreckless Media Radio to be intriguing. I didn't want to download any of the videos from Onions onto this work computer, but I'm going to take micromarty2000's word that it is the "best podcast ever." Someone I know has a UFC podcast, but my search for it yielded so many that I'm not sure which one it is. I love UFC, I just don't know if I'm hardcore enough to sift through all these and join.

I am not a conjurer of cheap tricks!

If only Murray getting ridiculed was work-appropriate enough to post. He will just have to settle for being referenced in the blog title.

My Blog's Leather...

In my del.icio.us blog I mentioned Blayne and Stella's banter on Project Runway, so without further ado:

Hey Cindy

BEST. SHOW. EVER.
