Sunday nights notes on Tuesday this week, if you don’t mind. Having housemates is counterproductive to blogging, but favorable to bar crawls at midnight. I recommend having housemates, if only temporarily. The situation has helped me realize the dream of waking to the smell of coffee already brewed, even if not always the way I like it. Getting used to having people around almost all the time, even if not permanent, is difficult but not world ending. My world ended of course, but the real world is still here. While I’m working hard to be a friendly housemate, and midnight conversationalist extraordinaire I forgot to blog. Consequently I’m updating two blogs this evening.
Notes:
I was happy to see Generación Y on Time’s list of Top 25 Blogs of 2009. There was time I thought I was the only one reading it, and of course TPM is probably one of the most worthy blog reads of that genre around. And Hey Ya to Said the Gramaphone, one of my first mp3 blog reads and a read to this day thanks to the defunct Revolution in the Head, a blog which became All That Ever Mattered some time in 2007. The rest..well, Gawker media wore out their “I’m too hip for my ass” attitude years ago, though I kind of like Wonkette still. I still don’t know who the fuck Seth Grodin is, except that he has something to do with the web and in some NYT article last year he said “he was getting fat due to sitting on his ass in front of the computer too much”. That can’t be a good thing can it? It did prompt me to take a good look as my ass in the mirror though, and my jeans will be forever grateful for that.
I also love the list of the most overrated blogs because I was beginning to think I was the only one who has either never red them, or no longer reading them any longer.
Surprise, surprise, FB owns you. You, not me. I’ve not been back there since freshman year of college, so I really don’t care, except to say there are a lot of places online which own you once you spend enough time using them. I possibly own you, if you comment here, though there appears to be some dispute about that. For god sake people, if you put it on the internet it is out there owned or not by you or someone else, it is out there, don’t be so stupid. And don’t whine like a baby afterwords, or start stupid little Facebook groups to protest being owned.
Last but not least Should Be Famous has undergone an overhaul and a change of premise. Go check it out and feel free to leave feedback.
