Despite the fact that it is nearing the end of the summer season we continue to be plagued by torrential rain and accompanying thunderstorms. Consequently, I have not been able to call round to my good friend Charles Bingley's estate in Netherfield leaving my with endless amounts of time to reflect on recent happenings. I have since come to the conclusion that "I will conquer this." Unfortunately, attempting to do so via social networking and the like has not proved to be a favourable success. While I enjoy the many benefits of Facebook (namely its user friendly interface and photo posting/viewing abilities and spy worthy/friend stalker potential) I don't fancy MySpace which seems to be the American equivalent. Likewise, Technorati drove me up the wall as it is NOT at all intuitive or user-friendly and Delicious is just another way to bookmark favourite sites. That said, I think that I must face up to the challenge at hand and simply tell her how I truly feel...that I ardently admire and love her.

Once again I have been kept busy with various "things" one of which is Library Thing a marvelous device to help one keep track of all of one's preferred literature. I have included the link to this fabulous creation! I have observed, as of late, that Miss Elizabeth Bennett has chosen to partake of this "novel" amusement as well even though she claims to "be neither a great reader and to take pleasure in many things."

As you may be aware from reading yesterday's post, I am back in Pemberly now and have been hard at work catching up on past dealings. Today I experimented with RSS feeds and found several intriguing sites. However, while it may be a timesaving device for some, I on the other hand, found it to be most vexing, indeed! It is not at all convenient for one to have to create a new account each time a new "thing" is to be attempted as it is exceedingly difficult for one to recall all of the login information needed. While it may seem that technology is all a go, I for one am not in favour of these changes and in the words of my aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, "am most seriously displeased!"
