So I have a YouTube account and couple subscriptions but I keep getting repeat videos in my new video list. Is there any good way to get them out of the list without having to start watching them?

Even if I have not loved everything our new President has done, I've always been convinced that he was the best choice we had. And this totally confirms it.

I try to keep on the look out for new music - to keep me from buying any more 80/new wave/ska music - not that there's anything wrong with that but time has moved on. Anyway this turned up for me at the library. I must have heard it on KCMU KEXP and then put it on hold. I think I really like it and it's really cool - but I'm not entirely sure ( Read more... )

In honor of the 4th of July tomorrow is a "Jeans Day" at work. From which you may be able to tell that I work at a (un)reasonably conservative company. No suits (any more) but "business casual" every day.

So with the diet/ww thing I've been eating a ton of fruit. A large portion of that being strawberries which I've always loved. I've been getting by on californicated strawberries for a while now and wishing in my heart of hearts for good old local strawberries and now that they're here I ( Read more... )

Lately things have been putting songs in my head.

For instance I'm reading a book of short stories by Hannah Tinti called "Animal Crackers". (I read her novel "The Good Thief" and liked it except for the living happily ever after ending so picked this up. Also note this is not the version I remember - I remember the version when she's on the plane ( Read more... )

Disappointment #1
Gained 1.8 pounds at the official weigh in yesterday. I think most of that is just random fluctuation. I stayed on plan well all week but Friday was a little bit of a binge day - still on plan but spending a lot of my weekly points the day before my weigh in was probably not the best idea ever. Then yesterday I was at my Mother in- ( Read more... )
