From a Lobster Headdress to an Ice Cream Cone Shaped Piece of Pizza....what a night!

Call me old fashion and perhaps a little lazy, but I enjoy my easily accessible technology tools.  I tend to stick to three major tools: Yahoo, Microsoft Word and everyone's favorite....FACEBOOK!  It is so easy to log on to my little white Apple laptop, sign onto Firefox, check out the latest news on the Yahoo homepage and then proceed to open up Facebook and Microsoft Word, only to secretly stalk my friend's newly posted pictures from the party last weekend, in an all out effort to procrastinate my Chaucer essay for as long as possible.  Sure I'll check out the top local news as well the four major stories on the front page, but there is always a part of me that yells "DON'T DO IT!  TURN AWAY FROM THE DARKNESS, DON'T LET IT CONSUME YOU!" For the most part, I resist my internal voices and continue to indulge in such gluttony as an amazing lobster headpiece worn by Lady Gaga.  Fun fact about lobsters in restaurants and especially in those fun-looking lobster tanks every child loves: the moment the lobster enters into the restaurant, the place lets the lobster starve in order for his/her internal track to be clear of any unusual brown substance that may taint the lovely rich white meat beneath the bright red shell upon consumption.  Is it odd to be eating an anorexic lobster? Absolutely.

Although I completely enjoy useless, images, gossip and unnecessary facts, like the one's my boyfriend informs me of that originate from the top of his lunchtime Snapple bottles, I have become bored with the same old same old stuff I see on Yahoo and Facebook.  My new challenge in my English 105 class is to try out a new technology that exists as either an electronic space or electronic tool.  I decided to give Digg a shot.  Never tried it myself and have never heard of it.  A shot in the dark perhaps, but hey it's worth a shot.  On my first gallivant around the site I discovered another completely awesome, yet useless piece of information.  Pizza cones exist!!!!!! Who whould have thunk it?  From my first look at this new writing space/tool I think that it just might in fact become my favorite new place to look at content on the web.  What's next?  Perhaps an article on pizza flavored ice cream?  (Eh, knowing how crazy people are, it has probably already been done.)
