RSSless: days 4 and 5
FunkyPlaid and I were at the store until late last night, so I didn’t post my non-progress on the RSS fast. No matter; absolutely nothing has changed. I spend my time writing, reading, and puzzle-solving instead, and my stress levels are markedly down. Now I am absolutely convinced that I need to ditch my RSS reader permanently, and only read a handful of feeds on a start page like iGoogle or Netvibes.
We ran lots of errands today, relishing in our pre-cohabitation domesticity, wringing out the moments of our only day off together. Right now I am sipping pomegranate wine and eating dark-chocolate-covered pistachios while chatting with some old friends online as FunkyPlaid’s WoW character busies herself with the usual smiting of evil. Yawns escape my protesting lips; FunkyPlaid leaves for a trade show in Vegas tomorrow, so I won’t see him for a week, and I don’t want to fall asleep yet. But who defeats sleep?

RSS Overload is all to common. That’s why we are seeing services like aiderss and nobosh. I had 600 rss feeds in bloglines at one point, it was to much. So I tried AideRSS, which was nice but didn’t do the job. Now I’m on nobosh, which does a nice job of cutting out the crap.
less is more, right?
