This Machine Pwns n00bs, VidCon2010, and my Google Reader is definitely working against me
TEN DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! I only have one more present to buy, this is the first year I’ve been so prepared!!!!
Also, I’m drooling over the new holiday design that I made this morning.
I spent a large amount of time yesterday watching Hank Green’s song videos. I don’t say music videos, because not all of them are just music. Some are songs incorporated into his vlogs. But here’s my current favorite Hank Green song:
When I heard this song, it was love immediately for me. LOVE. I love this album (This Machine Pwns n00bs) so much, I want to hoard it away and listen to it alone in my room (but not in a creepy way).
Maybe partially because Walter said Song About An Anglerfish sounded stupid when he looked up the lyrics. Maybe.
But this album is 100% AWESOME.
Hank and John are like 80% of why I want to go to VidCon2010 in July.
On a completely related note, is anyone going to VidCon2010? Because if I can go (still have to talk to Walter about it) I’ll need a room mate to split the cost, and I have severe issues with traveling alone and need a travel buddy….
I was totally supposed to be reading the blogs in my Google Reader because there were just so many blogs to read, but I got side tracked listening to This Machine Pwns n00bs and subsequently watching Hank’s videos.
three days worth of blogs
When I finally got around to it there were 164 blogs waiting for me. PLUS FOUR. It is so hard to catch up on blogs when people are constantly posting new ones. But when I went to bed last night there were only 23 unread blogs. WIN! Considering that I’m subscribed to 124 blogs, I really shouldn’t go more than a day avoiding my reader.
I thought once I got laid off I’d have more time to do things like read blogs and watch YouTube videos. But no. Now I spend ALL my time playing Facebook games and Heroes of Gaia. It’s pretty disgusting. I swear I’ve gained ten pounds in the last week.
And now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some YouTube videos to catch up on before I get sucked into one game or another. At least there aren’t 160 of those!
Do you like my Christmas theme?
How many blogs are you subscribed to?
Are you a bad traveler? Do you prefer to travel alone or with a buddy?

Your blogs make me smile.
I DO like the Christmas theme.
I’m subscribed to around 20 blogs…. but I don’t get to read them often anymore :(
I *hate* flying. I’ll roadtrip though. Traveling is always better when there is someone to share it with.

I’m glad my blogs make someone smile. Mission accomplished! That TOTALLY made my day, Squish. <3
I’ve never really road-tripped anywhere, never taken a drive for fun that lasted more than 6ish hours (moving to and from SC in a great moving truck doesn’t count).
Also I would never be able to pick just 20 blogs. There is so much out there to read, so many great writers!

I LOVE your christmas theme! And I subscribe to maybe 10 blogs? but I’m still a noob. The list grows everyday. The other day I actually had 64 blogs in my reader, that’s some serious slacking on my part.
heh. I think I like to travel with a buddy. I’ve never traveled alone and actually as you know, I haven’t traveled much!

Yes! I don’t know how? Probably. With a buddy – as long as they don’t smell?

I love the Christmas theme. And I’m glad I can call it a Christmas theme and not a holiday theme. My reader is at 315 so I feel your pain!!
