New Front Page

If you came here from GirlAlive.com you probably noticed some changes to the front page. You’ll have to excuse the boring buttons. That’s the best I could do with MS Paint. (I’m still trying to recover all the software lost from when my laptop died. It’s pretty much fixed now, but I’m still not back to where I was.)

I wanted to give a quick explanation of what the new buttons are. There is the blog button, which you would have pushed to get here. Then there is the Book Review Blog button. That one takes you to my new book review blog over at Tumblr. Then there is the British Food button, which goes to my British Food reviews, as usual. Then I also added a button for my Twitter feed. Cause I use Twitter quite a bit. Then there is the mysterious “GirlAlive Tumblr” button. That is a secondary Tumblr blog that I created, mostly to do some testing and other stuff for the book blog, but then I decided to keep it as a feed somewhere between this blog and my twitter feed. It’s more information than Twitter, but less than here. It’s mostly where I re-blog stuff that I find amusing or whatever. The kind of things I post on Facebook, but I don’t generally want complete strangers friending me on Facebook. So the Tumblr is there instead. Then the last button is my cafepress shop.

I’ve been saying that I want to get out of cafepress for over a year now, but for the moment nothing will happen with that. I can’t get my original image files back from cafepress, and they’re all on my laptop that was stolen last year. At the moment I don’t have any good image software. So it’ll be cafepress for a while more.

Anyway, that’s the new front page. Lots of buttons for stuff. I’d fill you in on everything else I’m doing, but you’d be so bored. I’ve been looking for a job. Turns out there aren’t any. Besides that, I’ve been lurking on YouTube watching the Vlogbrothers and other nerdfighters, and also playing some KOL, since I hadn’t played for something like two years. If you sat and watched how I spend my day, you’d be bored into a coma.

Oh, and for those on Twitter who heard about my eye problem last week, my eyes are fine. I had a weirdness in one eye when I woke up, so I got checked to make sure my retina was still where it should be. It is fine. I just smooshed my eye in my sleep or something.
