Lindsay Lohan, World of Warcraft, etc

Random links of random interest:

• I’ve been following the whole Lindsay Lohan being booted off the set of Ugly Betty closely because I like Lindsay Lohan and Ugly Betty and Lindsay Lohan on Ugly Betty, so I was happy to read this post on People saying that the whole dispute rumor was silly. Might be more B.S. but I want to remain optimistic.

[Social Networking] Twitter Applications

I only very recently got into Twitter. I’d had Twitter for a while, but only in the past few days have I really decided to dive in and enjoy.

I’m terrible at keeping up with browser-based applications. I hate web-based mail, and web-based RSS readers (though I readily admit that also recently I’ve become totally addicted to Google Reader…) I fail at things like MySpace and Facebook because I simply forget to go. My trick with Google Reader is basically to leave the tab always open. But I don’t want to keep open an additional 902842 tabs just for all the social networks.

So the first thing I did upon joining the Twitter world was go in search of an application that would keep me from having to go to the actual website (cause I hate it).

I’m certain there’s various Twitter apps, but here’s what I use:

Great Music: Jacqueline Stem, Rose Gerber, The Haunted Windchimes

I’ve not managed to sleep a wink all night, but I’m kinda thankful because otherwise I wouldn’t have gone on my iPod Touch to putz around. I ended up in the iTunes app store (another obsession…) and I installed this application called OurStage, created by OurStage.com. I love discovering new music, particularly independent music, so I fired up this app and headed straight for the folk genre section. I wouldn’t say this is my favorite genre of music, only I think it is.

Anyhoo, thanks to OurStage, I have discovered the following artists/songs:

• “Comfortable” - Rose Gerber
• “Finally” - TreeUnion
• “What They Say About Love” - Kristina Blanchflower
• “Leaving Here” - The Haunted Windchimes
• “Up to You” - Cobalt & the Hired Guns

And I also discovered my favorite song of the moment:

• “Stream of Consciousness” - Jacqueline Stem

I’m so in love with it that I ran off to purchase the whole CD and added the song to my MySpace profile.
