The Awl
It's commenters are obviously the WORST and a few of it's heavier posts have a tendancy to drift to 1500- 2000 words*, but increasingly I'm enjoying the Awl. Especially for pieces like this which passes a soberly critical eye over fanfiction derived from Thomas Harris' Hannibal Lecter novels while floating a few interesting comments about the the darker Romance fiction publications and where their writers come from. That was a disgustingly long and incomprehensible sentence, wasn't it? I'm hope you got out early on.

This is how I waste my time
8.46 pm: "This might be useful for Roisin, or for other friends who are getting married soon. Lets find out more..."
8.47 pm: Begin planning imaginary wedding to Mark Ruffalo.
8.49 pm: Stop planning imaginary wedding to Mark Ruffalo because just planning it is getting me too excited to type.
Our weduary site is available at http://weduary.com/LucyRuffalo. Please give Mark and I the time and space we need to plan our nuptials before ya'll start piling on about the absence of any percievable content on our weduary site: Mark is not pulling his weight in the planning stages WHATSOEVER.

BookTwo.Org - James Bridle is my God
"So the real problem with the ebook as it stands is that it denies us
many of these temporal aspects, which produces a kind of cognitive
dissonance. And there’s a social layer that forms around this, another
timeline of reading reviews and discussing with friends, that the ebook
could actually exploit better than the physical book, if we work on it
some more. We really need to look at how we address this temporal mode
with ebooks."
Great encouragement for people who love literature and who love ebooks and don't want to have to take sides. This blog is actually the best thing I've read about ereading & ebooks in, oh em Gee, one hundred years. I want to marry this blog and have it's babies. Can I elect a blog as president? It would be this blog, everytime.
No, I don't feel I overrely on comedic exageration to emphasise a point because I'm too lazy and stupid to have any rhetorical skills, WHY DO YOU ASK?
