Blink Blink

Okay, so the title is cool, but the entry here is actually about Blog Links I love and follow. They're a weird assortment. You might not like and follow them with me. But at least you'll know what I'm talking about if they come up. I love keeping people informed that way.

Absolute Favorite:
Crazy Aunt Purl. See, this young 30's-ish woman and her three cats are learning to be adults, and she's from the south but she lives in CA, she's hilarious, and she grew an onion in her kitchen by mistake. It's name is Victor. Oh, and sometimes she knits.

The Other Official Blogs:
This Fish Needs a Bicycle. Wherein someone about my age and single deals with her life, and uses a dry sense of humor and a red hot poker to do it. Oh, and she just moved from NY to Texas with her cat, and had a wisdom tooth out. Graphically. But don't worry, folks-- she's a professional!

Dooce. Wherein a really not-quite-right-in-the-head woman lives with her husband and young daughter (who once stared straight at the conservative grandfather over dinner and yelled "SHIGT" at the top of her lungs for no apparent reason, and then went back to dinner while everyone else recovered) and says totally irreverent things about her life choices and life experiences.

Feel-Good Librarian. Wherein a reference desk librarian occasionally shares the experiences that make her world turn, to our great delight. Like when her coworker was asked to locate a photo of God for a young boy, or when she painted her fingernails cool colors to help her through a cancer surgery, and the nurses all practiced little acts of kindness that also made a big difference, thus reminding her how important good customer service can be.

A Librarian's Guide to Etiquette. Wherein a librarian unleashes his pithy observations in short, infrequent, and well-catalogued entries. My favorite to date was the one about getting caught playing Justin Timberlake music on your computer at work. See "Sexy Back, Bringing."

My Friends Have Blogs Too:
The Randomness That is Life. Shana likes NIN, her dog, and cooking. In that order. She's my costar in a really freaky sitcom comedy wherein they tape our lives, and then broadcast little bits of them so other people can laugh at the insanity. We've been trying to find the cameras for years, and we'd really like to see the editor about the script.

Pens and Needles. Wherein I led a really young old lady down the garden path of blogs, but she's walking slowly, so there are only a few great entries so far, but the list is growing, and she's a really great artist, too. And her cats like you.

There are other blogs, and I have other friends, but I really should be working on one of those five projects just about now for school... so I bid you adieu.

And by the way, if you haven't watched the Mummy movie series, you're missing out on some great corny action with a hot babe, a hot dude, a couple of really comedic idiots, and some gross mummies wandering about terrorizing things, only with no blood and very little gore. I just got the Mummy Returns from Netflix, and I've only procrastinated a LITTLE bit to watch it. =) But don't believe what they tell you about the Scorpion King. His story is really quite different. Those silly Bembridge Scholars! Always getting stories mixed up and all that rot. Hmmm... I hear a fresh bowl of popcorn calling my name...

Can you believe it? The spellchecker says I got the "hmmm" wrong. Oh, and can I just tell you how sad I think it is (in a silly smirky kind of way) that my entry about strawberries and dockers pants was somehow shorter than my entry about other peoples' entries?! Well, at least there's always the flaming pizza box to keep me amused. Sigh.
