Been posting over at www.williamawalker.com/pivot as of late and haven't been mirroring them here. For anyone that has americathedistant.blogspot.com linked, please change it to williamawalker.com/pivot, as that is my main blog.

I so need to get my blog roll back up and moving again. I comment on so many blogs (not the last few days though) that I forget where I have commented. Uh. Guess I should at least bookmark them, but I'm not that bright, hehe.

Going to different blogs, I realized I am linked from a few of them. Thanks yall. I appreciate it. Makes me feel special :)
I might add my blogroll back in one day, I dunno, but I do have a collection of blogs I visit. Most of them happen to be the blogs of females, but I visit what is the most interesting.
Hrm, ever read someone's blog, and get this mental image of what you think the person might look like? I am getting a feel for what I think people's personalities are for (or what they should be, even if society dictates otherwise), and honestly that is more important. Reading through blogs though, there are people I would like to meet though, from their writings, so I was thinking: "I hope at least someone reads some of my posts and thinks to themselves, "I bet this is a cool guy. I wanna meet him and find out!" Feels nice to be liked ya know. I know I think that sometimes, and so far I have been right. All I can really say is I redid the tallies, and I think I have met 16 of the male bloggers (maybe more, my memory sucks) and 3 of the female bloggers, as of current tally. So far I think everyone was really nice and I was involved in some interesting conversations in the presence of a couple, lol. Why did she have to share about that castration video, and what's wrong with fat people? :)
Anyway, I'd like to meet some of the other bloggers, a few in particular. I'd say who, but I would hate for it to embarass anyone. Pretty sure they know who they are though.

Not sure if anyone out there can help me with this, but I am looking to purchase a lens for my Canon PowerShot A80. It's a decent camera and I am happy with it, but I am looking for a few addon lenses to go with it. Might need an adapter, not sure. Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions or know any shops around here where I can get an addon lens? I am looking at getting a Digital SLR camera here soon, probably a Nikon (I am a Nikon whore but I got a good deal on this camera).

From his blog, this entry:
Next, I found a link to the best 100 English-language novels from 1923 to present, as composed by a couple of Time Magazine Critics. Being a pretty voracious fiction reader I was surprised by how many I hadn't even HEARD of and again, by how few I'd actually read.
How many titles do you recognize: 25
Which ones have you read: 9
The Grapes of Wrath; The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe; Lord of The Rings; Lord of The Flies; Animal Farm
Which was your favorite: Lord of the Flies
Which was your least favorite: The Grapes of Wrath
I think I am going to tag..... SatisfiedNina with this one.
