Downton Abbey - I miss it, I need it DOWN...TON

I'm sitting here staring at my notebook, flummoxed as I go through Downton Abbey withdrawals.

MAD MEN will resume this month, but I'll have to wait out spring and summer before Lord Grantham and the Crawley Family will be back on board.

So I blog. I twitter. I Facebook. I read posts from PROBLOGGER and MASHABLE (love), make posts on Pinterest, Instagram, Flickr, and Linkedn. I love all these social media platforms, love twitter and real time news. love THE POWER OF REAL TIME SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING by Beverly Macy & Teri Thompson.
I love learning.

The reason to learn about it is because if one doesn't, you end up not knowing the language and being left behind. I was left behind when the internet started and was so cavalier thinking it didn't apply to my (then) kind of audience. How little I knew. How uneducated I was. To be fair it did take the buyers a good 10 years to get to emails, but hey, I could have learned so much more. All right, hind sight.

I was left behind by those priggy girls in high school with their blonde hair and teasing combs, their sprays, their crinolines, their kitty heels, but that is another story. I was interested in poetry.

No one speaks on the phone any longer, just to chat, so it seems. Real time has taken over and made everyone feel as if they have no time for anything, at least the people I know. The phone is there, and is in use as a map, for news, weather, the internet, texts, all of that...book buying, brings the real time with me.

I have itunes, the apple store, trip advisor, Redlaser, cameras and photos, instagram and flickr to go with that, newsstand, world clocks and timers, notebooks, internet movie data base, stocks, youtube, pandora music, gas buddy, so very important in LA, jot not scanner, evernote, dictionary, zip code finder, scanner, whack pack, very important for inspiration, google earth, classic books, Barnes & Noble app, Amazon app, flickster, yelp, videos, netflix, iTunes U, Blogger, find friends, zagat, asleep, handy level, game center, how cast, Pinterest, The Getty Art in LA, Scramble, easy wifi, easy writer, GPS tracker, IBART, Iconvert, my life, translator, LinkedN, TCM, snap tell, mini piano, Skype, Redfin, The Weather Channel, and dragon dictation. Is that enough?????

I have never stopped to think about that until now.

I have a destop, laptop, iPad and iPhone. I like the desktop and mouse the best and lying in bed watching movies of my own choice on the iPad at night if there is nothing on TV which there usually isn't. Why are the same movies run over and over? How many times can I watch SOMETHING'S GOTTA GIVE, as much as I love Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson there are twenty thousand pages of Balzac I haven't read yet.

Social media is interesting and compelling.

I am into it because Apple stopped their iWeb platform I was playing around with, and by accident, I started blogging, and then hey, I mean GREAT, why not staircase the shaving cream?

Must all four sides be a box?

No, they can be whatever I want them to be.
