Last time I discovered how to change the thumbnails on your Youtube videos. Today, I discovered how you can follow your favorite ‘tubers with RSS feeds… that you can see right in your Google Reader or Bloglines with the rest of your blogs.

All you have to do is type the following into your feed reader (or even directly into your address bar in Firefox if you’ve got it set up right):
http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/USERNAME/videos.rss

Just replace “USERNAME” with the name of the Youtube user, and voila! One beautiful RSS feed for your favorite videos, delivered hot and fresh with the rest of your daily bloggery.

I’m not a big gamer. I don’t play World of Warcraft or Halo. I don’t have a Wii or an Xbox. I don’t speak 1337 and I don’t usually “pwn” people (much…). I’m actually much more easily satisfied. I get games for my iPod and entertain myself for hours.

I just got this game that came out, Phase, and I’m in love with it. Seriously, I downloaded it last night and I’ve probably played about four hours worth of this silly game. It’s like DDR or Guitar Hero (both of which I’ve never played, mind you) in that it takes your music and turns it into a game. You basically have to keep on beat and “catch” the notes by hitting one of three buttons. Simple… yet really, really addictive. Just wanted to throw that out there for anybody else with a video-capable iPod. You must get this game!

My other newest love (okay, besides Robin Hood, but I won’t drool all over you guys today), is this site called Symbaloo. It’s kind of like Google’s personalized home page, but definitely more graphical. You kind of have to see it to understand it. It’s like playing with blocks, seriously… and it’s just replaced Bloglines.com as my new home page. You should go check it out.

Okay, that’s my shameless advertising for today!

Tomorrow, two of our cats are taking the long ride.

No, that’s not nearly as ominous at it sounds. Well, yes and no. Tia and one of her kittens, Jackie, are going with Dad to a farm somewhere between here and Seminole. Why? Well, because Jackie has this evil penchant for… well, using a section of my room as her litterbox at least once a day. What a nice way to be greeted from work, right?

Tia’s going because… she used to be my baby (she was the kitten I rescued two years ago) but lately she’s been this nasty brat of a cat. She doesn’t even like me anymore… and I could always count on her to come snuggling up about three minutes after I climbed into bed at night.

Oh, and she’s pregnant again. I swear, Tia sits at the end of our road waiting for cats to come by, and then she totally does that cliche scene you see in old movies where the girl trying to bum a ride kind of pulls up her skirt and shows her leg. Yeah. My cat does that. The first time she had one kitten, this last time she had six, and we have reason to believe that she’ll probably have about eight this time (I won’t go into details, because it’s kind of gross).

We’ve got ten cats in the house. Eight more will put me at eighteen, with four more to go until I hit my goal of twenty two. That’s sick. I’m not quite ready to resign myself to being the crazy cat lady just yet.

Either way, Tia and Jackie are taking the long ride tomorrow. Tonight is the last I’ll see of Tia… and that’s kind of bittersweet. Oh well. She’s been a jerk for months and months. Besides… I do get to keep Mouse and Jamie.

Anyhow, the title of this post was two long rides, so I guess I should also tell you that tomorrow morning I’m taking the train to Dallas for the weekend. What fun! James has got his monumental summer event planned… so I’m sure you guys will hear all about it when I come back.

Oh, and what a busy weekend I’m going to miss out on. Lonelygirl15 is doing its “12 in 12″ season one finale tomorrow, starting a few hours after I leave, and now Shawna and LB are going to take the opportunity to pull WAY way ahead in our blogathon. Phooey!
