Google Reader

Anybody who knows me well (and even some that don't know me well) knows that I spent lots of time reading blogs.  It's a great procrastination tool to click through all of my bookmarks and see who has updated.

However, then my friend told me about Google Reader, and I discovered the magic of FEEDS.  I feel really old when I say this, but I've avoided using feeds thus far because I was afraid it would be too complicated to figure out.  However, Google Reader makes it so simple!  I'd explain it, but then it'd become more complicated.  Just google "Google Reader" like I did.

So now, I've gotten rid of my single largest source of procrastination, I've been forced to get straight to work.  I refresh Google Reader once in a while, but it's sped up my blog-reading process so much that I am ultimately failing to waste time. 

But then, it's so much easier that I can't go back to checking all of my blogs one by one.  Why, that's so... archaic. 


As a side note, I am now also thinking about going to Costa Rica.  I feel like I'm buying into some huge subliminal trend here because I think I know of 3 people on Xanga alone who have just come back from or are thinking about going to Costa Rica.  Anyways, I'm in the beginning of the planning process and a little frustrated because I don't have TIME to plan a trip right now, nor do I have the energy or excitement to do research and compare prices.  So, in whole, anybody have any ideas or suggestions?  Let me mooch off your experience and planning efforts!

I'm thinking that staying in San Diego and taking a short trip to Ensenada might just be enough.  With the money saved from air travel, I could eat extravagantly at every excellent restaurant in San Diego.  But LAST TRIP EVER!!!  Post-boards celebratory trip!  I wish it could be fantastic, but right now, the only things I dream about doing are watching TV shows on DVD, catching up on every movie I've missed over the past two years, and laying around in bed past noon reading a good book.
