Damn you Google Reader

I was using Google Reader for a lot of my blog reading. It’s broken right now and has been for awhile. It’s quite irritating as they don’t tell you WTF is going on. Not even an acknowledgment of the problem and a “please be patient”. Looks like I’m gonna have to go to something more reliable.

So readers what is your favourite feed reader? I have a bloglines account but I’m not big on the interface to be honest.

For those who are asking WTF is an feed reader?

“Which Super Villain or Hero are you?” quiz

I couldn’t resist. Some of the questions are hilarious.

Do you often seek revenge?
Are you a master of camouflage?
Do you have a horrible scar?
Do you enjoy cold temperatures??
Do you have long hair?
Are you beautiful?
Do you enjoy wearing skintight clothes?

Guillaume Hinfray shoes

I fell in love with these shoes at George C in Yorkville. I love the box toe of the latest crop of hot ballerina shoes to come out this season. They were 50% off when I saw them as it was during their boxing day sales. If you are lucky you might be able to pick some up. I bought myself a cheap and dirty pair at Winners. They are burgundy fake velvet upper.

I Want – I Got on the internet

Just a listing of the places that I want – I got has managed to find itself recently.

LGU – All Things Fashion and Style – Blog: Hot Blog: I Want – I Got – I get a mention as a hot blog at LGU

Adrian at Fashion Verbatim linked to me when I posted about the Balenciaga leggings.

Only 1 Week Left to NEDA’s Every BODY is Beautiful – I got a mention as a support of Spoodfed Art on the Quest for It blog.

Cool posts: De todo para las mascotitas – I got a mention on a Peruvian blog about my cat bowl. They hotlinked my image which makes me kinda angry, but I can forgive for now. People don’t hotlink my images, if you start being leeches, I will cut you off.

Kristopher Dukes of fashion blogging fame mentioned the I want – I got scoop regarding the new Christian Louboutins in the ThisNext blog

The Blogging Times authour Liz Strauss mentioned I want – I got in her discussion about Xmas shopping.

I get media kudos at Passenger Pigeon.

Friend of I want – I got, Janick Gravel has mentioned me on her blog a few times.

La Senza Spirit vs. Tom Ford

I love La Senza Spirit. I don’t lounge around in activewear, I sweat and I run. I expect a lot of out of my gear. I recently bought some workout clothes and was very impressed with the fit and construction. Best of all, it’s way cheaper than Lululemon. I saw these sunglasses in the store recently.

I love the shape and the frames. It should have been no surprise to me when I discovered that they were basically a knockoff of a pair by Tom Ford called Whitney

The La Senza Spirit version are $16.50CAD, Tom Ford $300US. I tend to lose sunglasses a lot, so I will be looking at the cheap version.

I was surprised at how cheap things are on sale at La Senza Spirit. I bought 2 pairs of capris at 20 bucks a piece, a pair of black pants (that fit amazing) for 30 bucks and 2 tank tops for $12.50 a piece. That’s 5 items for the price of one pair of lousy lululemon pants (I’m not a big fan of the fit).

Do you like Snap?

You might have noticed the website preview on the hyper links on I want – I got. I added this new tool called Snap Preview Anywhere after seeing it on someone else’s site. I thought it was kinda neat, hope you like it. 😀

What is Snap Preview Anywhere? Snap Preview Anywhere enables anyone visiting your site to get a glimpse of what other sites you’re linking to, without having to leave your site. By rolling over any link, the user gets a visual preview of the site without having to go there, thus eliminating wasted “trips” to linked sites.

Do comment on how it works for you all, I’m interested in your thoughts about it
