Linx

Linking seems to be the current hot topic (okay, when isn't it a topic?) but especially this week and I have to say that being a terribly slow reader who gets easily overwhelmed and or distracted, links have taken a lot for me to get used to. Their like hundreds of footnotes in a giant incoherent text book that's difficult enough to get familiar with without the limtless excuses to leave the page. I never like to feel as though I've missed out on anything but in the blog world i always feel that i've missed out on everyhting. There is no closure or thrill of accomplishment. That's why I like your blogs-most of them are new and i can easily chart the beginning and end. BUT, today (entering into inspired blog student moment/yet another sentimental course wrap up speech), I was skimming New York Magazine, or was it the New Yorker? (you can tell how literate I am) and there were lots of small articles when every few words were in bold face and my natural instinct was to click on them and I couldn't. I really wanted to also becuase half the stuff was esoteric and referenced things I wasn't familiar of but easily could have been if i had been reading the article as a blog. Then I got all together nostalgic (another "hot topic" for the week, a la Meredith Viera, everyone's all time fave Lady of the View, with the exception, of course of Star Jones). I wish I wasn't linking inept, because then you could have clicked on her photo and I think everyone's mood would be made better having done that. Perhaps I'll bring one to class along with the Franzia.
