If I’m at home after a long day working in front of a computer, the best thing for me to do is to spend more time in front of a computer. I don’t know why relaxation works that way for me, but it just does. My favourite activities to unwind are using Youtube and StumbleUpon. Youtube, the video sharing website, and StumbleUpon, the toolbar that sends you pages you might be interested in whenever you want, sometimes even team up when you change your Stumble settings from “All” to “Videos.”
There are so many Youtube videos on this site that it’s a hybrid of awesome! So many cats meowing and so little time! I know I mentioned it on Monday’s blog about annoying your cats, but it’s incredible how curious they get when you turn up the volume on a clip of a Meowy McMeowsers meowing. It’s almost as though they are desperate to know what feline broke into their house, and why they are hiding out in my computer screen.
I know everyone on the planet has already heard of Youtube, but if you haven’t heard of StumbleUpon, I seriously suggest you give it a trial run. You’ll be hooked for life. Also, good luck sleeping! That thing is most addictive in the worst times of the day! If its addictiveness was a math equation, it would be Pinterest + Digg x Reddit – Facebook = Stumbleupon.
This lazy Sunday past time is always made better by a big bag of chips, can of pop, and sweat pants. This also works for any rainy days or nights. Get ready for hours to fly by, and thousands of animals to be laughed at, because it is about to get REAL up in here!
I love this! I think anyone who does needle work knows that feeling that you are somehow wasting time just sitting there, and a good flick answers the call splendidly! I am partial to Meryl Streep as well, though I thoroughly enjoy anything Jane Austen, and since I know them all so well by now, I don't even have to look at the screen if I don't wan to. It works, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue! Jane Austen is my favourite! Last year, my boyfriend got me A Jane Austen Education (http://www.amazon.ca/Jane-Austen-Education-Novels-Friendship/dp/0143121251 I highly recomend it), so I read all of her books before checking it out. She's just SO GOOD!
