ROLL YOUR OWN

Ahaha that title makes me laugh anyway...

So here I am, determined to get through these 23 things but exams exams exams take precedence.

RIghto, so forget the easiness of Library thing and get into Rollyo.

Its hard, It was easy to find the links to create and the steps are straight forward but yeah.

Once I had created the seach engine, I wanted to find the link but it appeared in the general list of things on my home rollyo search page. SO I'm going to give you my general home search page, under that click on movie reviews and search any movie.

I'm obsessed with films and their reviwes, so if there was a search engine, simply dedicated to movie reviews I'd be in paradise :D

This tool could be very useful for things like homework subjects and what not. Being a student myself I don't have time to browse through the one million things google offers... (although Suzie said that only 30% of all content on the internet can be found via google?) SO then it makes it even handier surely? That you can create your own content specific search engines, that cover sites that may not be on your average google?

SO a v. v handy tool for the future and would be enjoyed by young students like me...

voulez vous :D

Books...

It reminds me of that poem of Roald Dahl's. In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (o I should add that to my catalogue) when they talk about Mike Teavee and how he watched too much televison.

"They used to read..."

And on the poem goes to describe the books and what parents should do to the televison and so on...

Being a book nerd I did a project on Children's literature and being 14 at the time wrote a major essay on it. I used that poem as the basis of my paper. I'm going to call it a a paper because it is about 14 pages long.

ANyway so that was thing 7... a bit behind on the things to do, but I'm a student... Making an online catalogue of things to read, what a good idea.

I first thought, oh I'm going to have to remember all my books and what not but once I got started I forced myself to stop, eventually... although I still am going to add Charlie and The Chocolate factory.

This was an easy peasy no brainer exercise and I fully enjoyed ignoring my exam study. I would reccomend this site to anyone that wants to see your taste in books in a visual display. In my case it is just as mixed as my music taste, slightly eccentric and no underlying pattern :D
