Wednesday – not Monday – is the worst day of the week

[jennythereader]

Body: Stiff neck and right shoulder

Reading: I started If The Buddha Dated, which was recommended to me as full of good advice for existing relationships as well as beginning ones, and platonic relationships as well as romantic ones. We'll see. So far, it's a little new-agey for my taste.

Hearing: Celtic Roots Radio and Dan Carlin's show Common Sense

Etsy find: Winter Woods Skirt - A really cute black skirt

Project Follow-up: Jar gotten, and strawberry cordial started. Also, I found these playing card themed buttons from Dress It Up. They're exactly what I've been looking for for my Wicked Faire outfit. I bought two packages. Some will be jewelry, and others will be tacked randomly to the bodice. The dice and dollar signs will go into the button box and be used someday.

Tonight's Project: I need to get the stuff together for my next Swap-bot swap. This is a supply swap, so I just have to go through my stash and pick out things that fit the theme.

Randomness: Where do you get your news? I mostly get mine from audio sources. I listen to public radio on WAMC when I'm in the car and to bunches of current event news and commentary podcasts. I also glean news from what people are posting about in LJ, and occasionally go do research on something that seems especially interesting or relevant to my life.

When at work, I get my news from the assignment desk, the wires, other stations, and the newspapers. When not at work, these days I get my news mostly from Twitter -- I follow most of the major news outlets -- from emails from work, and from the Associated Press app for my iPod. When on the way to work, I listen to news radio -- WINS, because it's all news and no opinion whatsoever.

Some how I guessed you'd be the first to answer this one. :-)

Couple of places:

1) Radio on the way to work, but my commute is very short.

2) I read cnn.com, timesunion.com, news.yahoo.com, and saratogian.com on lunch. Plus a bunch of other blogs and news feeds relating more to work or higher education.

3) I have a twitter group of the local news outlets, which keeps them out of my regular twitter feed, but I can read that group specifically whenever I want. Tends more toward local news than national-global interest though.

4) I'm a member of an IRC group of programmers, and they gossip about everything newsworthy, and a whole ton that's not.
