‘ello mates

♥ greetings from new york ♥

living on long island isn't so bad, really. i mean, look at this view!

I’m Kerri, the newest blogging virgin. It’s like a Whopper Virgin, but a lot less tasty. Join me as a fight my way through the jungle of emerging media, one week at a time. We’ll look at the world of blogging (hey! I’m a part of that now!), social networking, RSS Feeds, podcasts, and (my personal favorite) Twitter.

Before we get there, how about taking a second to get to know me? Here are a few key points you should know:

• I love coffee. Well, that’s putting it mildly. It’s more like a slight obsession- I have to consume many many many cups a day to feel human.

doesn't that just make you feel all warm and cozy?

don't those eyes just melt your heart?

• My dog is like my child. We’ve had Lola since last March, and since then she’s been my constant companion. I like to call her my “study buddy” because anytime I start reading or doing schoolwork she immediately jumps on my lap (or the book, whichever is more inconvenient). She’s a good girl, and I can’t picture my life without her!

• I’m just starting to get into photography. I got a Nikon D40 for Christmas, so I’ve been super-excited to take it out and start shooting away, regardless of the subject. Everything I cook gets documented, (almost) every move Lola makes is photographed, and my poor family has become my not-so-ecstatic models on many occasions. If you’re ever feeling bored, feel free to take a gander at some of my pics on Flickr!

• I love cooking and baking. Whenever I have a spare moment (which doesn’t look like it will happen too often during this term, judging by the syllabus!), I like to whip something up. I love trying new recipes, much to my boyfriend’s dismay, as he is a “steak-and-potatoes, don’t give me anything new, get that goat cheese away from my plate” kinda guy.

my latest creation: pumpkin muffins!

thanks for stopping by my little clovers of joy. ♣
