Blog fanboy with a semi-dead blog of his own on the wrong side of the Cyberspace tracks
I don’t think most people know this, but there’s a place on the Internet where there are cobwebs and shit in between the ones and the zeros, where the HTML tags are all kinda mildewed and stained, where the scripts aren’t quite, you know are not really nice to each other. I mean it is the kind of place that you wouldn’t even want a troll to be caught at night.
And sadly, this I think is where my blog (this very blog that you are now reading [Really!? Somebody reads this?]) has been spending its evenings and weekends, and all the rest of it’s time too.
What I’m really getting at is the fact that I have not updated this blog for eight months. That’s almost long enough to have a baby! In fact, I have had a granddaughter since then. (We’ll I didn’t exactly have her, but you know, anyway, somehow here she is.)
But in the meantime something else has happened. I didn’t want to admit this at first, but I have become an addicted reader of several blogs. Not only have I never identified myself as a blogger, but I have really never identified myself as a reader of blogs.
Hey, there must be a name for a person that reads blogs, huh? We have a hip name for the people who write the blogs, but what about those of us who consume the blogs? Blogsumer? No, that doesn’t work.
Anyway, this is a really roundabout way to talk about my favorite blogs, the ones without which my life would be a damp, dark pit, which it really isn’t.
My Absolute Number One Favorite Blog On The Planet:
The Fluent Self
This is the blog of Havi Brooks and her duck Selma. She writes about things like biggification, unstuckification, talking to monsters, and sometimes she mentions Dance of Shiva, which is really featured on another blog of hers. It’s hard to describe, so just go read it!
The Bloggess
I only discovered this blog last week but it is one of the funniest blogs I have ever read. Warning: she does sometimes use what some of you may think of as foul language, but I just think of it as real.
That’s all I got for now.
