Saving time on blogging

The moose we saw while camping.  Has nothing to do with the post, but I wanted to add a picture.  

After I wrote that last post, I did something my friend recommended that I've been wanting to do for a long time.  I deleted my blog roll.  I added everyone into my bookmarks, but I don't have a clue when anyone updates.  So it's only been a few weeks since I did this, but I love it.  I think the computer is pretty creepy, actually.  I'm not an addictive personality.  I don't text very much, watch any TV, play any video games.  But that darn computer is really really weird.  I felt like I had to check it every day.  And I knew I didn't, but I did it anyway, out of habit.  I'd get on in the morning, if there was a new post, I checked it.  I tried to not do this, to time myself, but something about knowing there's a new post, for some reason I just had to click on it...

Does this sound like anyone besides me?  It creeps me out that I can be like that.  So now, when I'm thinking about a friend, I'll hop on their blog.  That's how it should be, anyway.  I don't call friends every day for an update.  I guess I'm just trying to make my internet connections mimic real life, to make them more natural and less addicting.  

So there you have it, a way to save time, if you're looking for one.  Another thing I've loved is turning off comments.  Not that I didn't like comments.  I really did.  But I hated the fact that I wanted comments.  That's all. HTH someone.
