In order to become a social media expert who specializes in Skype, I’m going to need a webcam.  According to my research, the Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 is one of the best.  So, I’m putting this item on my menu of wants. I’m going to need this before the other items.  I’m quickly working on [...]

Do you have the same feeling?

My list of wants is rapidly growing. I mentioned this on my other Shorty blog last year, and I am saying it again – I WANT THIS VOICE RECORDER!  It is an Olympus DS-61. My current recorder is cool, but it’s time to upgrade. For anyone who is reading this post and actually cares, I [...]

I have finally started posting on my Shorty Resource Blog. My image is almost done.  The theme is almost done.  I just have to pull it all together, and start spreading the word about my blog really soon.

I need the news people to stop showing images of children from Haiti.  The incident itself is heartbreaking, but to see the babies…Oh my God!  My heart is breaking. You have people over their fighting for their lives, and people in America fighting over dumb, irrelevant stuff. I wondering if seeing this tragedy during these [...]

I attended my first Improv class week, and it was good.  My instructor is crazy in a good way.  I forgot his name, but he’s cool. We did a bunch of exercises to help us get comfortable with each other and to do things that we would not normally do.  For instance, we had make [...]
