i've used this as a collector for a good reading list for a long time. i rarely have much to say myself...well,that's not true. i rarely have the energy to say anything. no matter. grateful for the wonderful reading i get to do here. 

good grief. time flies. following some good blogs on blogger,but still haven't found a proper place for myself here. ah,well.

time for another placeholder post,i suppose. spring has just sprung,after a bitch of a winter. i'm watching 'the walking dead' for the first time and in order,and it's a great psychological drama. i just tolerate the gore because it's good enough to be worth it.

update,and the ambitious part of my brain

i updated my profile! the only thing that changed is that i spend most of my time on tumblr rather than livejournal now. trying to get my life in order since 2010...actually much longer than that though. one thing i liked about livejournal was the ease of the community there. i like tumblr for ease of use and great visual sharing,but the community there has always been,and continues to be,awkward. i don't really see much of a community here. i do miss the heyday of livejournal,and before that,on opendiary. i don't know if i outgrew opendiary or i just wasn't good at keeping up with the people i liked there. a lot of them dropped away.

i've been thinking of writing about my everyday challenges here,but i don't know if i really will,for various reasons. we'll see. i've become more verbal and less textual in the last few years. or at least it seems so. it might be that since i've been out of work since 2009 due to disability,i don't get enough verbal exchange in,so i think i need more. before i got a computer,i went to the library every day. i know that changed because i have a computer,but i also don't think i'd have the energy to get dressed and presentable and out on a daily basis anymore. my energy has gone downhill. well,enough for now. today is a sunday filled with football and red sox playoff baseball,the latter of which i'm thrilled about. and i'll try to get something accomplished as well,though it's always sketchy,with both mental and physical energy chronically low. and to think it was even WORSE when i tried a course of thyroid meds last summer...man,that was really awful. over and out...how many people still know what that means at the rate of change we have now?

p.s. too lazy right now to figure out my post time settings,but it's actually about 8 am and not 5 am as i post this here now.

right now i was looking for something good to read,and so i wound up google reader. ah,all the details i am too lazy to figure out. i'm glad i started on the internet when my mind was happier. so,i still have this blogger,for better or worse. i miss the heyday of lifejournal.

what i'm using this for right now

it seems that i'm mostly using blogger as a central place to read other blogs on blogspot. if by any chance you find you like some of the same links as i do,have similar taste,visit me at http://dianebluegreen.tumblr.com where i     post a lot of photos of houses and interiors,and other stuff,because it's so easy to do at tumblr. maybe someday i will use this for something else. who knows? things are always changing,which is both a blessing and a curse.

surf's way up!

haven't done much here lately. i've been using livejournal,open diary,and keeping up with my small circle of family and friends on fb and bejeweling too much! i get into a trance...also,spending time on experience project site, and djing on blip. that is so fun,a nice crowd there. also i am on lastfm but i don't like how they often use inferior versions of songs and not original recordings...live is good,but it's good to have a choice...hmmm...but i guess i shouldn't complain...it's free for now. the more the net gets monetized,the less i will probably be able to use it,so i will enjoy it for now.

it was a lovely fall day,but sadly i did not have energy to go outside for a walk. oh,well...i did go to the library so i got to see lots of pretty foliage...got a book about julian of norwich,one on artist paul klee,some mags and a surfing video to watch...riding giants...big wave surfing in hawaii. i love surfing media. maybe i will learn how to surf in the wimpy atlantic when i am 80,who knows?
