Firefox Add-ons are kind of addictive

So my internet is fixed. But my AC is now broken. -_____- gehhh. Well at least I can blog. haha. K, so my list of Firefox has come as promised. Here's my list of the best Firefox add-ons I have used.

Stumbleupon-Currently something I use everyday. The little stumble button fits neatly on a taskbar, and collects my favorite pages in a convenient page. It's a nice and neat way to bookmark pages instead of actually bookmarking them (since I already have too many of those). Check off as many interests as you can. You never know what you'll get. You know I'm the one on the blog that loves her links, and many of them I have Stumbleuponed.

TinEye Reverse Image Search-Many a month ago, I had this brilliant idea for an image search that used images to search for the same image all over the net, no matter the size. And then last week, I found this gem. It's the most amazing search engine you'll ever find. I just wish I'd found it earlier...

Download Statusbar- I love (times 3) this app. That annoying and cumbersome download window is gone forever with this convenient little app that fits at the bottom of your browser. With a click, you can see the status of your downloads and with a double click, you can open up the download. My best friend on Firefox.

Personas-Layouts for Firefox. I recommend: this, this, that, this, and this.

Cooliris
-It'll probably slow your computer down while it opens up, but this one is a must-have if you're trying to find a picture. Those annoying page numbers on Google images gets tiring. And this 3D photo viewer shows bigger thumbnails. It's a life-saver if you need to find the right photo.

I hope these are useful to you guys. I'm still in the running on Brickfish, and I would appreciate your votes so much! Every 8 hours you can vote, if it so moves you. I entered in two new entries to a b/w campaign as well. Thanks and have a good week. If you're in school, good luck!

If you have any add-on suggestions, please do tell! I love these things.

I wish there were (500) Days of Summer

Yesterday I finally saw 500 Days of Summer! First off let me say I love the wardrobe choices. I didn't know office wear could look so good...skinny ties. =D I went through the soundtrack before I saw the movie, and seeing how everything fit made the songs just that much better. The movie was uniquely told, a creative breath of fresh air, or as I once said, a fresh of breath air. It may be a close second to HBP as far as my summer movies go. The beginning made for a surprising ending and, well, I'm satisfied with things end of to be. It's a realistic, but cute tale of, what I perceived as fate. Go see it! And listen to my favorite track off the soundtrack. And by the way, Zooey is a wonderful singer. Actually, Joseph wasn't that bad either. Even if he was acting drunk. There is something very pleasant about Joseph Gordon-Levitt when he speaks.

I discovered a bunch of Firefox add-ons, so reviews are coming in my next post. I will tell you that I now have Stumbleupon and making good use of it. So far I have found:

Some uh...interesting street art
Some examples of a project I've always wanted to do. Unfortunately, the back of my monitor is basically just a poster and wall. And shadow.
A reflex test at which I fail.
A cool way to travel through photography.
Architecture+skate+HD+mellow music=one of the most beautiful things to come out of skateboarding

Enjoy your week!
