Video Killed the LiveJournal Friends Page

So many of the posts on my friends page nowadays consist of links to videos. And since I'm often unable to watch these videos right away, they've been accumulating in my memories. I probably won't end up watching most of them, though. Sometimes I get the idea that some of y'all do nothing all day BUT search the Internet for videos. This isn't really a complaint or anything, but it DOES tend to make catching up on my friends list more time-consuming.

I had a dream last night where bethje and I picked up 3x1minus1 at a train station, and she looked nothing like any pictures I've seen of her. There was also a part of the dream where my mom was saying something about broccoli and photography.

Based on what I've heard on MySpace and Amazon, there's a good chance I'll give the new They Might Be Giants tribute album a miss. I did like what I heard of the "It's Not My Birthday" cover, though, and it goes without saying that I want to hear all of Frank Black's "Road Movie To Berlin." So I don't know. It just seems to be the general rule with tribute albums that there will be a few really good covers buried in the midst of songs that either: 1) sound exactly like the originals, but with worse singers; or 2) manage to remove the best aspects of the originals.

And finally, I stole this from rockinlibrarian:

I wanted to run an experiment. I'm just curious how many people stop and read this journal. So, anyone who is reading this-- ESPECIALLY if you just wandered onto here and I have no idea who you are, leave a comment, even if just to say "hi," or "purple" or something. Actually, also tell me how you wandered onto here. I'm curious how many random people who aren't on my friends list-- or even me on theirs-- wander by and actually read this. I'm also curious how many people who ARE on my friends list actually read this. So, drop me a note, random people!

I doubt anyone will actually reply, but it's worth a shot, right?
