1. I did a massive clean up of the blogs that I’m subbed to recently. One of the things that I was noticing about my life was that I was spending a ridiculous amount of time trying to get through all the blogs in my feed reader and I only gave a shit about a small fraction of them… and since I was subbed to so many, I was missing out on the blogs that I actually enjoy reading. I didn’t keep track of how many I was actually subbed to and how many I gave the axe to, but it was a lot. I can now actually make it through my daily reads in under an hour. Which is great! Except for now I have nothing to read when I want to procrastinate…
2. I’m still in a massive phase of nothing I can think of to blog about is actually good enough to blog about. I’m also still trying to figure out what this phase is actually about because that’s kinda bullshit… People blog about everything stupid all of the time, so I don’t know what my issue is. It’s like I’ve got it in my head that every blog post I write needs to be the cure for cancer or something.
3. I am mildly obsessed with Casey Desmond at the moment. It wouldn’t be surprised if James and Jed are ready to kill me over how much I’ve listened to her lately, but it’s great music for spontaneous dance parties breaking out in your living room.
(P.S. You can get her album on Bandcamp.)
4. Mission clean up the house is… stagnant. I mean, it’s not standstill or anything, but I totally lost momentum and the only thing that I semi keep up with is the dishes and it’s kinda lame to just take pictures of my sink all the time to show you that I did the dishes.
However, Room A… the one that had all of the crap piled on the floor is… different than it was. I’m not going to bother with pictures because it’s just all of that stuff packed up and piled into a corner that still sorta takes up most of the room, and all of the idealistic plans that I had for it have been put on hold because we’re gaining a new roommate for an undetermined amount of time. I might have lost my potential yoga room for now, but I’m gaining a yoga buddy so I think that’s a win.
5. I should just order things off of Amazon when I need them because I never actually end up going on the errand to get them that day. Like… vacuum cleaner belts. Ours broke on our vacuum cleaner and we need a new one. James and I started discussing where we’d have to go to buy one, because you know… we’d like it sooner rather than later. Several days later, there has been no movement on my part to get off my ass and trudge to the subway to go downtown to go to Home Depot… had I ordered it off of Amazon when I was thinking about it the first time, it would probably already be here.
Dude. You’re right – people blog about the dumbest crap all of the time, so why is it so effing hard to come up with something to blog about?! Pretty sure that’s the reason I’ve had, what…. five blog posts in the past two weeks? Eh. I’m sure things will get a bit more exciting when the weather isn’t total crap.
Amazon is the best. I’ve almost considered doing grocery shopping online, but then I decided that might be a bit extreme since I have two legs that function perfectly well.

thanks for the musical recommendation! she reminds me of ellie goulding, I like it :3
and omggg I need to clean up my feed too.. I should do that now, there are far too many blogs in there I don’t read!
I have noticed that myself now that I’ve cleaned up my Google Reader. Now I actually READ a lot of the posts instead of scrubbing through them quickly just to get through them. Lol. What a concept…

I also did a blog clear out! Must be the season for it like spring cleaning in winter!

I did the same and wrote about it in my “Power of Purging” post because reducing that digital clutter helped me so much. I did keep track of how much I cleared out and just keeping track alone of the number going down alone lifted something off my shoulders I didn’t know was there. I am now able to focus on those blogs and other feeds that I really love.

I recently unsubscribed from a lot of blogs too. So many of them I subscribed to for giveaways and on a trial basis. And since I rarely read any of them it seemed pointless to keep them just cluttering my google reader. I actually have a folder called Favorites that all of the blogs I read first go into. So if I ever just don’t want to read alllllllll of the blog posts in my reader, I can at least just open that folder and have at those ones. Then I will usually just mark all the other folders as read if I’m not in the mood
I really liked that song. Didn’t get to watch the video since I’m currently at work but I had it on in the background and it was awesome. I’m going to check out some of her other songs once I get home. Any other bands or musicians along the same lines as her that you’d recommend? I’m kinda bored of all the stuff I’ve been listening to.

Woah, another Aubrey in your comments!
I am the SAME WAY with my blog which is why I haven’t updated in over a month. I’m trying to get back into the writing groove by giving up Twitter for a month. Just in the past few days I’ve written (offline) more than I have in ages! I think this will be a good break for me so I can get back into my writing groove.
I love the new layout, too. It looks great!
I have the opposite problem with you with following blogs. I don’t follow enough! Maybe I’ll dig through people you have linked and I’ll find some new friends. I guess I need to update my blog more first too…
