Bloglines of Penzance

Discovered Bloglines. To tell the truth, I stumbled across it a couple of months ago, but back then the idea of a web-based aggregator seemed stupid. Now I see I was wrong. :) Not only that, but I also found a slew of book blogs and language blogs that I had no idea existed. It has been a mini Christmas for me today. :) One of the very interesting blog entries I read was If readers were horses... at the Litblog Co-Op.

Last night I went to the Pirates of Penzance performance here at BYU, the first time I'd ever seen it. It was splendid! You do have to be open to the absurdity of course, but the puns and wordplay are terrifically fun. I'm coming to the realization that my English vocabulary hasn't really been increasing in the past few years -- in fact, I feel like it's vanishing. The remedy: more reading. I found yesterday that the place where we're moving in August is only one street away from the city library. I still get goosebumps just thinking about it. :)
