Burning the Midnight Oil with My Live 365 Station

This weekend I added around forty songs to my Live 365 station: LilacRose Radio. I added most of the new songs last night -- I stayed up far too late, but got a lot done. The playlist is now a little over eleven hours long. I still have room for about 14 songs (give or take a few). You can get an idea of what I added here and here. I'm also going to update my Radio.Blog on the sidebar pretty soon as well. I will include some songs I added to the Live 365 station. I also put a link to my Pandora station on the sidebar.

Anyway, if you are a Live 365 member and if you enjoy my station, please rate it five stars. Thanks!

A little side blogging...

Although I'm not blogging much right now, I am still adding things to my Furl archive. Sometimes I will add a comment or include a clipping from the item. I think of it as sort of a side blog. The last 10 public items added can be seen on the sidebar. After the jump, I will show the last 15 public items along with any comments or clippings. My comments are in bold. I would particularly like to point out the item that's currently fourth seventh in my archive from the American Daughter Media Center (which was found via the 910 Group blog, which is highly recommended for those who are interested in reality). This is very important stuff.

Just so you know I'm not completely disengaged from everything...

A Few Quizzes

Just for fun...

First, this one via Barb (purple being my favorite color, I had to take this one):

You Are Grape
You are bold and a true individual. You are very different and very okay with that.
People know you as a straight shooter. You're very honest, even when the truth hurts.
You are also very grounded and practical. No one is going to sneak anything by you.
People enjoy your fresh approach to life. And it's this honesty that makes you a very innovative person.
What Color Purple Are You?

And finally, this one:

I can't resist linking these...

...even though I was trying to stay away from this subject (on my own blog, anyway) and even though two of these humor pieces have a whole bunch of profanity (although it isn't gratuitous). They are just too funny not to share. If you are unfamiliar with the controversy that inspired them, you can get caught up here and here.

First, here's the work-safe humor piece from The Curt Jester: Edward Tracts (John Edwards meets Jack Chick). Via Mark Shea.

Now, here are the profanity-laden pieces from Iowahawk. Like I said, considering the subject, the use of profanity is not gratuitous and it is used to hilarious effect (especially in the second one):

Both via LGF.

Okay, back to lurking and trying not to post too many comments on other blogs for somebody on hiatus...

Update: Here's one more funny one from Darleen's Place.

Final Update (2/13/07): Pwned! Via MVRWC.

The Evil Genius Meets Dawn Eden

One of my best blogfriends, Barb the Evil Genius (who really isn't evil at all), got to meet Dawn Eden when Dawn visited Cleveland to give a talk about her new book. She also got meet Saint Kansas, another Cleveland-area blogger and Dawn Patrol regular.

Thank you to Barb for the shout-out! I hope that someday I can meet Barb, Dawn and Saint Kansas in person as well. :-)
