Bakasana or Bookasana?

Here I am looking ridiculous at the library. I was told to "do something funny". This is all I could come up with.

What if I don't want to Web 2.0?

I have started this blog as part of a work assignment for Texas Wesleyan that involves exploring Web 2.0. For someone who never checks their FaceBook (do those things die if you don't use them?), this is somewhat daunting. However, I have decided to stop worrying about my incredible dearth of exciting stories/ pithy comments/ innapropriate (but hilarious) jokes and blog already. So I will probably mostly talk about what I'm reading and listening to and perhaps bemoan the fact that my house is never, ever clean (I know what you're all thinking but Mike is actually the slob, not me). So here we go. Is anybody still there?

I'm reading The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery and it is just lovely. In my next life, I want to write just like her, oh and speak French just like her, too.

Mike and I have been listening to Emiliana Torrini's new CD, Me and Armini, and really like it as well. She is Icelandic, just like Bjork, but much more ethereal and less raw. I even play most of the CD in yoga class. Another recent addition to the Yoga Playlist on the old Ipod is Matt Ward's (M. Ward) Hold Time. Also excellent. Of course it is entirely possible that no one really likes what I play in yoga class and they are all too nice to tell me. Let's keep it that way.
