I have a new pastime that has proven to be interesting. I start at someone’s blog and pick a random site on their blogroll to visit. From the new site I pick another random location and etc., and etc. I tend to get stuck reading each blog I visit to get a flavor for what they are all about so that so far I have visited a maximum of 7 blogs in one “stroll”. I have found very interesting blogs and people on every stroll. Since I don’t have many links on my blogroll I usually start at Rori’s or Matt’s blog both of which have a wealth of paths to start on. Maybe I’ll publish some of my future strolls. Anyway, it helps pass the time between work, studying, writing, playing Myst IV, going to the movies, remodeling our bedroom, and anything else I need a diversion from.

I do that too! But I hadn’t come up with such a cool term for it… Blogstrolling… I like that. I may use it in the future.
I do that TOO!
In fact, I will be doing it tonight!
