Re-evaluating

Hey Tumblr-ites!

While I had a bunch of deadlines for school, I decided to keep myself off of internet time-sucks like Tumblr, Facebook, and Pinterest. To do this I created ridiculously hard passwords, wrote them down on a piece of paper and put them away in our home office. The idea is that I definitely won’t have the passwords at school and the shame that would come from digging out that paper like a junkie would keep me at bay until things settled down.

I’ve spent a while off of Tumblr now. In fact, a good bit longer than I had thought I would. You see…I didn’t really miss Tumblr too much while I was gone. Of course, I missed the people, but blogging things for myself has become lack luster and really just about wasting time or pleasing others. Tumblr is not fitting into my lets-stay-off-the-interwebs-more theme, either.

Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that I bid you all a temporary (hopefully) adieu. I don’t know how long this break will be…I may be back in 6 months or two weeks. I just know that, for right now, I need to extend my break.

Love to you all!

Hiatus

Going on a little Tumblr hiatus. I need to get a review paper done so I can graduate…not to mention all of my regular classwork and my final seminar presentation.

But once March gets here I’m FREE!!!!!

Have you ever…

skimmed through a women’s fashion or clothing blog and suddenly all those models just seem to be singing a light-hearted…”I have no boobs, so everything looks good on me!” and you have to stop looking because you are just so frustrated that the really cute stuff would look horrible on anyone larger than a B-cup? …no? Just me? Ok.

Carry on.

“Because the biggest producers of content on the Internet are not Google and Yahoo — they’re us – we’re the ones getting policed. The real threat to the enactment of PIPA and SOPA is our ability to share things with one another.”

-Clay Shirky, in his “emergency” TED talk about SOPA and why it would create a “consumption-only Internet.”

Watch this, all. “The threat is this inversion of proof.”

Plans

I’ve slowly started to relapse into spending all of my free time in front of the TV or online. I just have to get away from reading, which is all of my school work. So, instead, I am making plans to have Pinterest inspired projects going. These will provide me with something productive to do when I can’t stand to study anymore. Here are a couple of things I have in mind to keep me productive in the coming months:

  • Lengthen our bedroom curtain panel by adding a gathered top and hang tabs; Line it so that it blocks out the security light more.
  • Sew simple curtains for our sliding glass door to the patio. Joann’s is having a sale on home decor fabrics this week and I have determined that while I could buy window panels on sale for the same price of making them, I would rather be able to choose from a multitude of fabrics (and do a little work) than just buy the curtain color no one wants…
  • Dry erase calendar for the kitchen…I still have yet to find a cheap enough frame.
  • Artwork for the house.
  • Pillows for the couch.

Let the craftiness begin.
