Graphic Novels Challenge 2010

I read graphic novels quite bit now since I started back to school. Unfortunately, I never post anything about them (or anything else). So in 2010 I will take part in the Graphic Novels Challenge.

Here are the rules.

• The challenge starts on January 1st 2010 and ends on December 31st (but we don't mind you starting early.)
• You don't have to make a list beforehand (but you can, of course! Lists are great because they give ideas to people who aren't sure what to read. And if you do make one, don't feel forced to stick to it!)
• We simplified the levels of participation: you can be a Beginner (3 Comics or Graphic Novels), Intermediate (3-10) or an Expert (10+). You're more than free to adjust your level of participation after the challenge has begun.
• There will be mini-challenges! Look for a post with more info on that soon.
• Overlaps with other challenges are totally fine.

I think I will try the intermediate. This is really going to be great! I can't wait to see what the mini-challenges are!

I just took a quiz on accent at GoToQuiz.com. The results were sort of surprising since I lived most of my life in the Deep South.

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland   "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

I believe one of my favorite things to look for on the Internet is music. I like listening to radio stations online like JackFM. The fact they have a website is great. You can keep up with contests and concerts in the area. However, I like more control over what songs are played. I have used Yahoo! Music to create my own radio station. Another site, Pandora is similar to it. You can add stations for different genres and edit the artists or groups included in each station. Unlike Yahoo! Music, there is no commercial breaks or plugs for the commercial-free membership option (not free).

I did download a song from http://music.download.com/. It was easy and the song can be played on my desktop or on my Mp3 players. I prefer to use my Mp3 player Itunes is pretty much useless since I don't own a iPod. Other sites like Amazon that offer downloads that will play on any Mp3 player are better because if you upgrade your player later, you could still play your music.
