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 [...]

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?”).

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. [...]

You might remember Tooty Nolan from my previous post, Hamster Fiction — The Next Big Thing? This author’s books are now available for download for under two dollars. If you’ve ever read his innovative and often bawdy and humorous work, you’ll know that’s a bargain.

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 [...]

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
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 [...]
