Internet chains

I have a severe problem I think (well, anyone with tabbed browsing probably has something similar) with starting at one website and ending up somewhere completely different. A 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon type of thing. So this is my most recent:
Tumblr: here I view Amanda Dolan's reblogged post with a video promoting 500 Days of Summer
Google: 500 Days of Summer
IMDb: 500 Days of Summer, again.
Photos of Joseph Gordon-Levitt --> leads to a picture with him and this bittie Isabel Lucas
IMDb her --> Trivia (because there's no bio and I don't know who she is) --> car crash with.....
Shia LeBeouf --> films....
New York, I Love You

And with that I decided to stop and write this post, but anyway I guess it's not that crazyyy so much as a great way to inform myself of really important information! Because now I'm just excited that I know about New York, I Love You that's coming out some time in the near future (after Paris, Je T'aime). This clarifies that they are the two coolest cities in ze vorld! I hope they use LCD Soundsystems song, "New York I love you, but you're bringing me down" somewhere in the film.

Okay must go ride bikes to river in 95/100ยบ heat. woo! Au revoir bitches.

Seriously, number twenty-nine

..as in, the twenty-ninth blog or other means for writing I've given myself. Let's just see if I can keep up with them all:
1) Twitter - easy enough, little pressure to do so, anyway. (@katieklein)
2) Tumblr - could be easy enough, if I remember to share things I come across in the internet world/my head (fancy-claps.tumblr.com)
3) This - (just wanted to keep w/ the "T"s) Well, I have to come up with its purpose first, I guess. And, okay, I know that that's not exactly 29, but I just have a thing with that number (a self-centered thing, but whatever, a thing's a thing, amiright?) and I wanted to be able to remember the link for this because "whatupparis.blogspot.com" didn't stick for me. And really, it is kind of almost the 29th thing, because all means of writing don't exist on the internet. And I have about four or five (if we're including notes, travel journals, etc.) outside of this dangerous world.

So, I need some kind of system. Or rule (role, really) for using this blog, to make it worthwhile. Plz make suggestions. I already have in existence the things mentioned above, in addition to a journal of collected letters, a creative writing (ha! ze most pathetic) notebook, a journal of the dear diary variety, and a notebook that contains different lists, a wine log, and random quotes to remember (there are actually several of these in existence, but only one with me right now). So what is left? What's suitable for the internet and potential public viewing? Things to avoid suggesting: pop culture news (don't follow it) - poetry (not good enough) - can't think of more now, but fr real leave me some comments or something and I'll get on top of making sure I actually use this.

Okay that's it for now. Give me motivation to come back later. Au revoir
