Roundups? Maybe?

I've seen weekly roundups on other blogs and I've always had mixed feelings about them, leaning toward not liking them. I think the major problem for me is that I don't want to click on a bunch of links to see what they are, instead I want good descriptive blurbs to not only hook me, but to let me know exactly what I'm getting so I don't waste my time. (Not that I'm against wasting time, in fact I'm quite good at it, I just want to do it on my own terms.) But since I see interesting things on the Internet that I wouldn't necessarily dedicate a whole post to, what can I do but a general, un-themed roundup? So I'm going to give it a whirl on Wednesdays and see how it feels. Please make comments or suggestions about what kind of things you would be interested seeing in this format.

Words!
A list of "20 Obsolete English Words That Should Make a Comeback" from Matador Abroad. Usually obsolete English words are super fun to say. They feel like nonsense in your mouth, or like a foreign language to what English is now. Here are a few examples: quagswagging, yemeles, jargogle, and kench. http://bit.ly/z0Mbd4

Images!

One of the best pictures the Internet has given me involving a cat. Warning: This picture either terrifies people or sends them into laughing fits. Click with care. http://bit.ly/ADozW9

Articles!

From The Wall Street Journal, "Are You As Busy As You Think?" A simple yet thought-provoking (for me) article on being "busy" (yes in quotes) and how we spend our time. I found it relevant. Plus it touches on the power of language, which is an important aspect in my life. From the article: "Instead of saying 'I don't have time' try saying 'it's not a priority,' and see how that feels.... Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don't like how we're spending an hour, we can choose differently." http://on.wsj.com/yErp5v

A short NPR piece about the concept of nothing, and one artist's journey (Rauschenberg) toward representing nothing. The article forced me to think in a different way that took me on a short journey out of my own thought bubble. http://n.pr/xtv8zX


Products!
I try not to be passive-agressive (I just want to be regular agressive), but it's hard when passive-agression comes in a handy pre-fab notebook from ModCloth.com. http://bit.ly/uPAAPp
