I heart Natalie Dee.

So I’m always on the lookout for new blogs to read. Occasionally I’ll actively go hunting for them, like a few weeks ago when I ran across the blog of a library worker and it dawned on me that there must be many library blogs out there. (Duh.) So I searched for other library work-blogs, and found a couple good ones, most notably Foxy Librarian. But going hunting like that is pretty rare for me — mostly I rely on laziness- er, serendipity to find new blogs, by just clicking on links from other blogs.

Once I find a new one that I can bear to read at all, I go through the archives. After I’ve read everything there, then if it’s entertaining and well written enough that I’m still wanting more, I put a link to the blog on my little page here. That way my brain will have a prompt to go see what’s new over there. (Because my memory? Not my friend.)

I don’t always put a link, though. Often I just continue to visit the new blog via the series of links I followed to find it in the first place. It’s only the ones I really like that get linked. Because, you know, we here are very exclusive. It’s like a resort, really.

Um.

Just the other day I found a new and interesting blog the serendipity way. It’s a people-behaving-badly blog (my favorite!), and it’s funny and well written and insightful, all in new and excellent ways. Finished up the archives quick-like and slapped that link up there with no hesitation.

Then last night, I went to check for updates there, and, omg, she linked to me! That is a first, as far as I know. A stranger has linked to me. It’s a weird feeling. It’s like some kind of signal that this page actually exists in the world, and not just in my world. So, Gamestore Girl, I thank you for the link. And to any who may find me through her, welcome! Know that I write mainly to entertain myself, but wouldn’t mind in the least if you got a little entertained too.

Ello!

May I burrow around ‘ere a bit?

…I cannot get enough of this little guy, and he’s about to cycle off the main page over at cuteoverload.com. So I hadda stash him here. Click the picture! He’s so cute!

I don’t usually have the patience for this kind of quiz (What cheese are you? What My Little Pony are you?), but decided to give this one a try after reading Judy McGuire‘s comment about it:

Much to my disappointment, I discovered that I am fully Edina and not even a little bit Patsy.

So I decided to find out whether I am Patsy or Edina. Now it’s ten short questions later, and apparently I’m Bubble. I was not expecting that. Well, at least she’s fluent in French, and she does have some funny lines. I must say, she cracks me right up.

Gran: “This filtered water boils very fast.”
Bubble: “That’s because there’s less of it.”

And of course:

A few of them whatchamacallits come through. Paper comes out? Very important urgent paper!

Hmmm, the quotations don’t translate very well to this medium. Unless you can hear them in her voice, it doesn’t really work. So check out her voice!

A little late for Easter, but it still made me laugh. It looks like a picture of a t-shirt. Time to go t-shirt hunting!
Edit: Aha! Looks like it came from a very nice place called moonmilk.
