PANDORA'S BOX

The box is open, the music's on, the jury's in, Pandora's perfect...so far! I put in the name of an excellent Irish group, Colcannan, and so far have gotten one great song by my hero Guy Clark, a bluegrass tune, an "original" old-timey song, one by Colcannon, and now what sounds like Americana style music. A great way to find new music. Next stop will have to be a psychedelic rock station--if I ever can break away from this one and get back to work.

Help!

I've made a draft of the post I really want about RSS, but I can't figure out how to add it. Keep "posted".

GRR RSS

GRR! RSS! I couldn't figure out where my feeds were showing up. Know I know--to the Bloglines website. I'd like to link them here...



What I selected:



The Elegant Variation A self-proclaimed "highly opionionated" blog about all things literary: books, short stories, poetry, reviews, reviews of reviews:



"By Lazy Mick on Guest Bloggers
Frankly, I'm baffled by Janet Maslin's review of Bright Shiny Morning, James Frey's *cough, cough* fiction debut. It's written in Frey's curiously incoherent style and is either a low-water mark for book reviewing or a harbinger of the ascendancy of sentence fragments in adult discourse.
I think The Vulture, who predicted Maslin would review Frey favorably, gets it exactly right:
At first we were annoyed, but then we realized that's just good customer service on Maslin's part — we found the style so off-putting that it curbed any desire we might otherwise have had to read James Frey's novel and decide for ourselves whether it's any good."



Unshelved: If you haven't seen this one, you've missed the number one reality (or is it irreality) check for library staff. See the link!



Finally, I thought I had signed up for a feed about Get Smart, the tv show, but it looks like I was fooled by one submission. I'll need to find another one, and for some reason I can't get back to the search screen. Watch here for another feed.
