Dear LJ friends: How many of you use Tumblr (besides the ones I know of)? I'm asking just because I can never follow too many people over there. For the uninitiated, this is a fun (and funny) guide to Tumblr. As for why it's so awesome: well, it's ridiculously easy to use and update. It's a neat way to consolidate a bunch of what could be smaller posts into one spot. The only major issues I have with it are the tags (there's no solid tag catalog for it the way that LJ has your own set up; there's no whateveryourtumblrnameis.tumblr.com/tag), the inability to search for specific "liked" posts (I have spent up to an hour going back and back and back looking for a particular thing I liked, and that is not fun), and the fact that it goes down sometimes like LJ did back in the day (and by that, I mean circa 2001/02, when the servers would just be like, LOL WE'RE NAPPING and I would be sitting in the school library all, NOOO COME BACK TO ME LJ!).

...I have been on the internet for a longish time. Dang.

Other random things: this icon of Paul Newman and a buzzard (or a turkey, I do not know which one it is--a turkuzzard? A burkey?) is my new default for some reason. My brother rented Zombieland, Ice Age 3, and The Hurt Locker, and I am probably going to end up watching all three of them by the time that he has to take them back. I keep contemplating making this post about what makes certain things that would be considered mundane to be sexy, but I can't find my words. I'm feeling really hopeful about the next week for some reason, which is good. And Tuesday is Free Pancake Day at IHOP.

PS: Since I spent a big paragraph talking about it, here is my Tumblr.

Weird - I was just contemplating starting a Tumblr! It does look fun, but it's good to know that if I start one, it won't replace my LJ (mainly because of the "everything is public" deal). I'm still bugged by the fact that there's no direct commenting function, though.

I'm following you over on Tumblr now. I love that site so much!

I'm at ~practicaldemonkeeping on tumblr, and really all I post is random picture mashups. I'd love to see you there, obv.
