Haha, fiddling with layouts is a fun way to procrastinate [nice layout btw] - must resist urge to click/read all the links and go back to studying. Have I ever mentioned how much I love your linkspams, there's always something interesting to check out! Anyway best of luck with completing your workload! ^_^

[glass_icarus]

Hee! Part of my linkdumping is, I confess, a way to stop me from clicking ALL THE THINGS immediately... >.>

Go go productivity! Or something. *g*

[such_heights]

Ooh, that Health Month thing sounds intriguing! (I, er, may be putting off going back to hospital!doctor because bad, um.) Am browsing around now, and I cannot resist the prospect of a White Lotus team!

And yay, thanks for the always awesome linkspam. :D

[glass_icarus]

Heh, I figure Health Month can't hurt, in terms of ideas that will potentially get me off my ass. *g* Which I should really really do, I am far too lazy for my own good. (Conveniently enough, I already have a dance class buddy! BFF from ballroom is taking beginner hiphop with me starting next week, ahahaha. HILARIOUS SHENANIGANS SHALL BE MINE \o/)

Also ack, hospital!doctor? *hugs*

You're welcome! :) &hearts

[such_heights]

Ooh yay, that sounds awesome!

And nothing in particular, I just need to go check in with the diabetes people at some point.

[woldy]

That article on covering is really interesting. Thanks for the links & good luck with the To Do list :-)

[glass_icarus]

Yes, I thought it was rather brilliant. :) Thanks!

[sophinisba]

I read Yoshino's book on covering a couple years ago and I highly recommend it. Besides being a law professor he's a poet and he writes beautifully.

glass_icarus, omg so many links! Thank you!!

[glass_icarus]

Ooh, I may have to track that down! :) You're welcome!

[inkstone]

Thanks for plugging Team White Lotus! ♥

[glass_icarus]

Hee, naturally! &hearts ;)

[inkstone]

I hope people who want to join the team do so before 6pm est though, because my internet is still out at my house so I won't be able to approve their request. :o

[glass_icarus]

;0 Hm, are people allowed to join teams late?

(Also I keep refreshing the White Lotus team page to see if the numbers have ticked up, ahahah! And lo, they have. \o/)

[inkstone]

Actually, that's a good question. They have to sign up on Health Month by the end of the day if they want to participate in October's game but maybe joining a team isn't so time critical.

And yeah! I'm happy to see Team White Lotus ticking up slowly but surely. I mean, we're not going to see the numbers that Team Friends of Lifehacker is but it's still great to see. I originally thought it'd be me and two other people, lol.

[faynia]

Health Month! \o/ I just joined. Because I'm self-aware enough to realize I'm being extremely self-destructive this year. XD

Strangely it's asking my to update it every day, but one of my goals is to virtually unplug from the internet.

Your layout reminds me of a creamsicle! :D

[glass_icarus]

... oops? *g*

Hee. I may play around with the background color! Hmm.

[pseudo_tsuga]

Wow, so many amazing links! Thanks for sharing them.

On the subject of youtube comments, gunnarolla from Canadian, Please even made a separate video to comment on them, it was getting so bad. CBC had an online feature on it with some more comments from gunnarolla.

[glass_icarus]

You're welcome! :)

Yeah, I'm not in the habit of reading comments anywhere, really, but it's good to know that people are acknowledging it.

[unavee]

Ooh, Health Month looks interesting. And good timing because I've been wondering if I feel so lethargic and cranky lately because I haven't been trying to get regular exercise for a while ^^;;

The A:TLA links are so exciting now that I've finally watched it! All your links are great as usual.

[glass_icarus]

I'm excited to try it! :)

&A:TLA;;;;;;

[jibrailis]

This will keep me reading for days! (Thanks for the rec, by the way!)

[glass_icarus]

:D You're welcome!
