Author With A Thousand Names And A Million Books

Lynn Viehl’s author blog, Paperback Writer, is fantabulous.  Take, for example, the post Ten Things That Happened at My Book Signings, #6 of which is:

An ex-boyfriend showed up after twenty years to tell me he should have married me instead of dumping me for the Girl Most Likely to Do Everyone. He’s in insurance now and [...]

American Idol Fans Meet their Idols … and Blog to Tell About It

There’s a new website in town, and it’s called The Fan Girlz, featuring all things American Idol.  It has a lot to choose from for Idol fans, including videos (did you know Danny Gokey loves pedicures?), games, and contests (like “Who Can Do the Best Stank Face?”).
But my favorite part of the site, by far, are the [...]

Best Blog Ever (Besides Mine of Course)

I think I have possibly found the best blog ever:  Be More Fancy.  I love the style the blog is done in, with crazy photos throughout each post that serve to emphasize whatever subject matter is being discussed.  The writing style, too, is wonderful.  See for yourself:

I woke up last night to a bad dream. [...]

Vampires – Representations of Intense Oral Needs?

Vampires and the state of being “undead” are representations of intense oral needs, experienced in a context of passivity and helplessness.

That came from a post called In which a bunch of scientists over-analyze Bram Stoker’s Dracula from a blog called A Good Poop (don’t blame me, I didn’t make up the name).  Click through for more [...]

Roving Animated Interactive Map of Blogged Emotions (What?)

Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world’s newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, [...]

On a Steel Gray Day

On a steel gray day
In a forgotten place that once had meaning
The wind slides through barren trees
and plays a haunted tune on a rusty merry-go-round

Check out the rest of this poem, entitled Play, at the blog, Hope for Glamour.  It’s a great short poem and totally worth the read, so invest a few more seconds [...]

I Just Discovered an Amazing Poet – Giselle Di Paolo

Scattered across the globe, in little corners of the world wide web, extraordinarily talented people practice their various crafts, largely unseen and underappreciated, like wild, exotic flowers blooming in a hidden forrest.
Today, I happened to wander across one such gifted soul and her self-named poetry blog, Giselle Di Paolo.  I was both blown away and inspired [...]

Hater – the Novel Soon to be a Movie

I was looking around for recently published novels when Hater by David Moody came to my attention.  It looks fantastic, and I’ll probably end up buying it in the next week or so.  It must be good as it came out 2 months ago and the movie is already in pre-production.  (The novel was originally [...]
