Oh! I want to play.

I like blogs a lot. Not all blogs can be as great as this one, with its strange, slightly off color palate and sparce random postage, but hey, not everyone can get down like us savages do. But, I've learned to adjust my expectations and discovered some ones that I enjoy checking in on from time to time.

Booby's selections were all strong. I love Smitten Kitchen and have even been known to hit up Pioneer Woman every once in a while, but I have to admit, sometime the amount of butter and cheese she uses strikes fear in my heart.

Jezebel is one of my go to reads for both guilty pleasure celeb gossip/fashion news and thoughtful and witty feminist tinted writings. Their writers post like a million times a day, so it's the kind of the site you can check regularly and always find something new.

I LOVE design sponge. It is kind of like etsy: the blog. They have visually luscious and creative posts ranging from flower arranging to reader submitted DIY projects to yummy seasonal recipes. The editors and regular readers seem to be a really great community of creative entrepreneurial women busting into the business world one adorable organic cupcake boutique at a time.

There's also this weird group of bloggers who photograph their outfits every freaking day and post them and I guess we're supposed to be really interested in that. In general, I think that kind of over-sharing is one of the most annoying parts of the internet...we get to act TOTALLY narcissistic and for some reason, other people like you for it! But this girl actually has cute style and seems nice -- when she's not trying to crack too many jokes.

This one is kind of weird and maybe dorky, but sometimes really cool. I feel like this is the kind of thing a history major would be really in to. I mean, just look at all the strange maps!


On an unrelated note, what would you guys think about doing a mix cd swap? I've discovered some fun new tunes since we all separated and I'm sure y'all have too, so how bout it?
