Moved, officially!

Yay! I finally, officially moved to here! So, BBT is no longer. Adieu, little BBT! It shall stay here as an archive thing, I suppose, but this new site will be my main page. Enjoy! Please post any thoughts on it here! :D

Merging

Tomorrow, (hopefully) I'll find the time to do....well, something that may not please y'all. I'm merging BBT with B1000. Leastways, right now, I want to. Why?

1. It's hard to keep up 2 different blogs that talk about the same stuff.
2. Both are, fairly, BO-RING. (admit it)
3. I have way too many blogs on my hands.
4. It'll be easier with the template and all, since I've been meaning to change it...but haven't yet.

Yeahh...er, so that's why. Another thing, B1000 seems to exemplify ME more than BBT does (after all, I'm still obsessed w/ the bk). BBT is getting too, well, pointless, and B1000 actually does have a point.

So after tomorrow, you all will have to go to B1000 for more BB updates. That is, unless I get some vehement protestors that DEMAND and convince me to I stay put.

In which I talk of...well, random stuff.

This is not a rebirth of the old Random Remixes, which were thoroughly annoying in their prime. But yes, this is a post about random blah-blah-blah.

Google Reader. What a handy little overwhelming tool. Yikes. You know what happens when you get lazy for, eh, I don't know, three months? You get 215 items from about 30-something of your friends' blogs. Not that I'm complaining, since y'all write such great blog posts, but it's actually a ton of fun to look through so many posts at one time.

Butterfly Forest. Woohoo! Finished my album review. It'd be real nice of y'all to go check it out! Don't forget to check out the poll!

Kiki. The little rascal of a dog. She won't eat her doggie food; she'll only eat food off the floor, and when she does that....well, I hope none of you are eating something while reading this, but she...never mind. So this afternoon, she finally decided to eat her doggie food (reluctantly), with her tail right between her hind legs. She might as well grumble, too, while she's at it. *roll* Another thing; so in our house, the door to the backyard has a window, and near the door is Kiki's bed. So I went to the backyard to check out how my dad was doing (he's doing a little woodwork project), and decided to practice some Irish dance steps, since I'm going to Irish dance day camp starting tomorrow. Lo and behold, my canine starts barking at me from inside the house. Note well, my friends, that Kiki is like the little annoying sister in the movies and on TV that tries to do everything her older sister does. Yep, that's Kiki alright. She starts barking her head off at me as if to say, "Hey! What are you doing out there? I want to come out too! I want to Irish dance!" Oi, and have I told y'all about Kiki's aversion to the song "Memory", from the musical Cats? When I get in spazzy mode (which is often and somewhat frightening ;-) ), I start "bark-singing" "Memory", and, whaddya know, Kiki starts joining me. Like howling and barking along. I've recorded it...but it's awfully strange and I don't know how to put it on here.

Anyway, so that's that. For B1000 readers, I may make the blog public again, and I hope to have a post written up in a few mins.

YouTube, Netflix, and Lists

I'm BA-ACK! Again.

Anyway, I got a YouTube account! It's right here, so if you want to watch my fave vids or friend me, go right ahead and do so. Enjoy! And yes, that I am indeed subscribing to country music artists. *is very proud of self*

Anyone who gets movies from Netflix? I've seen so many movies already (I've been listing them) and, well, we've been getting a lot of cool stuff!

Speaking of lists, I've been making a ton of lists lately: favorite books, favorite movies, and how I compare to the typical teen (the last of which I found 25 MAJOR differences at least). If wanted, I can delight you all in lists in those (Netflix movies seen, favorite books, favorite movies, and the differences lists).

Another thing: I've been needing to change the template. I shall be doing that soon and try to post more on both here, B1000, and BF. Sorry for holding y'all up! :(

Last but not least, I have a sort of survey question for everyone: What's the best book that you've read this summer, not counting re-reads?

Blogged out?

Maybe. I'm not so sure why, but I'm just not into blogging--and at times even going on LRRH--as of late. So just to let you all know that BBT is definitely going to be slowing down. It's just that there's not much to talk about, and, like I said before, a lot of the stuff I say is "blah blah blah", "yada yada"--things not fit for classy readers like yourselves.

As for B1000....well, I shall try to post more on that this wkend, and for those of you who asked to be invited (Faith, Verity, Anilee, spider), I have sent all of you an invite. It's never too late to ask to be invited, so you can still contact me (or leave a comment). Thanks to all who asked to be invited. :-D

BF? I'm still working on the album review, and...well, I just have to finish it. Sorry for another long wait, you guys.

Oh yes, and LRRH? I'll still be going on, but I'm going to slow my visits. You know how often I used to go on before? Like 30-40 some times! Today? I only felt like going on once--I caught up with everything, and that was that. I'm still going to be responding to PMs and such that, but I just won't go on LRRH so much.

TTYL!

L♥ts of L♥ve,
BB

As anime would say, "To Whom Who Cares"...

...b/c there must be quite a few of you, or how else could I have 1600 something visits? OK, it's less than that, since it took me awhile to figure out how to make the thing not count my visits.

Anyhow, if you read my latest comment on the below post, I've been thinking recently of making B1000 private. I most probably will, as the majority seems to not care for it too much. It'll be open all day today, but at night I'm making it private.

So if you want to keep updated on it, leave a comment on here, send me an e-mail, PM me on LRRH, just somehow inform me if you want to be a B1000 reader. I'm not going to automatically invite anyone, just to anyone who asks.

I've also been thinking about maing BBT private, too. I know, I've thought about it before, but I actually might this time.

~BB

Bliss!

Butterfly Forest is back on track officially! Right after writing up this post, I hope to get some new reviews written up. Next is an album review, and if you don't know which one it is yet...well, I won't tell you, it'll be a surprise, but IT'S NOT A COUNTRY ALBUM. Yes, you'll all be "le gasping", but it's not. Will y'all read it?

Next, on B1000, I'm going to write another new post about fictional characters. Ooh, how fun! I hope y'all will stay in tune to B1000, b/c there will be a lot of interesting posts on there. I'm telling you, you don't want to miss it.

Another thing I've been wondering. I need everyone's help on it. Do you think I should move to B1000, since most everything I talk about is MOLD related? Opinions, please!

On the Fifth of July...

...I shall talk a bt about the Fourth of July. We didn't get to BBQ (though we will next wk or something), but I did end up getting a stomachache all day. Fun, eh? *roll smilie*

Anyhow...BB news is that I'm working on my movie review (thanks to SophieCouture, b/c of her comment on my blog I was reminded that I should really get to work on it. I'm sure most of you know what it is already, but for those of you who don't....well, it'll just be a surprise then.

After my review, I hope to work on my B1000 post on B1000. (sounds strange if you say it aloud *lol smilie*) Then, hopefully, I can write some more reviews (but not necessarily post them), and finish up Sisters Grimm #2: The Unusual Suspects. Wow, that bk is good! Even better than the first, I have to say. I'll do a review on that, too, of course.

So, since I have lots to do, and apparently this wk was Foreign Language week, I'll say "Au revoir! Adios! Aufweidersein (sp?)! Ahn-neeng-gah-say-yo! (Korean, btw)"...I've ran out of foreign languages.

[edit: my movie review is now published. Please stop by and take a look at it on Butterfly Forest!]

Happy Fourth of July!!!

I was planning out how I should start out this post last night, and the first thing that came to my head was "Auld Lang Syne". I know, random.

Anyhow, so...wishing y'all a happy Fourth of July! I'm not doing much today, it's just me and my parents (and Kiki, of course), and just doing the usual: BBQ, putting out the flag (which we just did about half an hour ago, more or less), etc.

What about y'all? Also, what do y'all think of Blog of a Thousand Days?

[edit: something new I found--there are a total of 174 comments on this blog, 53 posts, meaning each post averages 3.2830188679245283018867924528302, whatever that number is. ;) )

If MOLD couldn't get any worse...

...because it can. Leastways, to me. I dunno about the rest of you, but I think my MOLDiness has gone very, very, very far. Just check this out. It's just starting, but...just keep watching it! :D

At Last!!!

I have done it! I am actually 100% fully satisfied with my review blog, which is new and improved! Woohoo! You can find it here: http://bookbutterflyangel.wordpress.com/. Me love it! How do y'all like it? Does it have any "potential" you think? How's the template? what about the poem up top?

On a last note, we got our first Netflix movies of the summer today! We got Miss Potter, Becoming Jane, and No Reservations!! w00t! w00t! I'm having a very good wk. *mrgreen here*

WANTED: Expert Wordpress Person

Ok, now I need help from someone who uses Wordpress, b/c I know that there are quite a few of you out there. So I'm still trying to figure out the basics of Wordpress (it's a little bit more complicated than Blogger), so how do you add a Blog description? HELP!!!

WANTED: Everyone who reads this blog

*clears throat* Okay, my dear blogging friends, I need your help. I've decided that the name Cloud Chronicle doesn't suit my review blog well, so I'm changing the URL (yes, I know I'll have to get rid of the other one first...) later today (it will be bookbutterflyangel, but it hasn't been set up yet), but I need titles. I've come up with a few already, but I'd like to see what you guys think of them and if you have any ideas.

*Angelic Reviews
*Butterfly Forest
*A Nerdette's Guide to the Best of the Best
*Rambler's Reviews
*Confessions of a Bibliophile, Cinephile, and Music Maniac

Or we can even just go back to Cloud Chronicle or Ripsnorter Reviews, though I'm not entirely fond of either of those. Opinions, please! I'm begging you!

Well, well, well...

I did it. Yup, I finally got a WordPress blog. Here: http://cloudchronicle.wordpress.com/. There's an intro on the front page. So say farewell to Ripsnorter Reviews on Monday (at the latest Tuesday); I have to transfer the stuff I wrote on there this weekend to Cloud Chronicle. Anyhow, I promise with all my heart that CC will be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy cooler than RR (I kinda got sick of the name; there's an explanation on CC; also, what if people get confused when Rapunzel's Revenge comes out? ;-) ).

Hope ya visit the Cloud!

BB News

This is a heads-up for everybody. Well, first off, BB Times will be turning boring soon. Since I'm running out of things to talk about, I think I'm going to make this like a reading journal and talk about my writing process. Yup, so boring stuff. Second thing, Ripsnorter is going to go bye-bye. Not exactly, but I'm going to get rid of it and go to Wordpress instead. I know, I know, it's a major change, but I going to probably call it "The Cloud Chronicle" (long story why, but anyhow, if you want to know, go ahead and contact me). As for DLP...I'm going to keep it for a bit, but I might move it to TCC, too, and have it as one of those private things. So, just to let you guys know. I'll post anymore new stuff. This will all probably go into effect...this Saturday at the earliest. Oh yeah, and on a last note, on Saturday I will also change the template and stuff on here. So major stuff coming. Prepare yourselves.

MOLD Mania!!!

It seems I have this thing about the word "mania". Anyhow, new blog set up! MOLD4EVR is finally here. Woohoo! We've got some fantastic MOLDy readers on the blog (anime, Delaney, Anilee, Verity, Liz, ennagirl, Ina-Chan...and me!), and we'll always welcome some more MOLDy peoples. Having issues w/ MOLD? Come join us! Just e-mail or PM me on LRRH (if you are an LRRHer, which I'm sure--I think--all of you are), and let me know! NB that I will also need your e-mail. You can also contact one of those awesomely cool gals I mentioned above, since they are all admins and can add you in. Thanks! Check us out here: http://embracethemold.blogspot.com/.

Wanted: An Expert Blogger Person.

OK, can some "expert blogger person" please tell me how to make sticky posts? Because I will need to do them when I get my new template for the Quote of the Week. I need to know ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please help!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!

[edit: Also, MM2008 Updates: Instead of having a whole post for each song, they will be presented on the right with the lyrics. It's just easier that way for me.]

MOLDy Blog!

So, earlier on BB Times, Delaney and I were talking nonstop about a MOLDy Blog that should be started, and on LRRH I started a whole thread about it. So I was just wondering for those of you who read my blog if y'all can answer a few questions:

***Are you going to do it or not, or at least comment on it once in awhile
***Name for the blog (you can see stuff we came up with on the post about New BB Updates
***Content (list of stuff on LRRH)
***The admin: who will it be?

Hope I can get answers to these questions asap!

Music Mania 2008: Day 4

Oof, MM2008 has been gone for some time! Well, real quick updates: lyrics will be a widget on the side from now on, so you can check it out there, and...enjoy this awesome, dissing-the-guys song! w00t!

The More Boys I Meet ~ Carrie Underwood

BB Updates!

There's going to be some new stuff coming to BB Times!!! At the end of MM2008, I'm going to (finally) put my Project Playlist on here. Several other new stuff:

***Layout--Yes, I think I will have a new layout, and I have an idea of which one it will be (from Pyzam). Stay tuned for it!

***Quote of the Week--I'm going to try to have a quote of the week on my header. It will be changed every Sunday afternoon (or Saturday night, depending on my schedule that week), and it will always be a very MOLDy quote I found from Goodreads or Wikiquote, like the one above.

***"Posh People's Brilliant Blogs"--Instead of putting your names, I'm going to put the title of your blog instead, and add some new ones. Some links on there will NOT be found on here. The reason is because I'm going to link review blogs to Ripsnorter, so don't freak out or get mad at me if you don't see your blog on here--most likely, it'll be on RR. Also, I think I'll be shortening the title to something like..."Posh Blogs". The word "posh" just sounds so...posh!

***"Awesome Authors"--that's just a tentative title for another new section. This will have links to my fave author's site, or at least list them (if they don't have a site). Though the title is tentative. Which is better: "Awesome Authors" or "Inspiring Authors"? Or should I do "writers" instead? Opinions, s'il vous plait!
