Farewell Week
A lot to do this weekend: including, and limited to, promoting my Twitter, refreshing my Formspring inbox, and playing a round of Chatroulette. Follow these people, y’all.
Greetings From NJ - My state gets a lot of shit. We’re the home of “orange-skinned douchebags, dozens of toxic waste facilities, faggots, and the Passaic River goddamnit.” That’s neither true nor was ever spoken, but Greetings From NJ shall make you set aside negative stereotypes and enjoy our state for the beautiful thing that it is. (Literally, Sufjan Stevens was going to do his next album on NJ — no he wasn’t — before he got all existential on us.)
Tumblr Awards - Trying to win multiple of these babies by promoting their official site. Although, according to “common knowledge/Wikipedia clones,” the Tumblr Awards died a long time — in microblogging years — ago. Still: what if they are revived.
the emporium - I discovered Jill’s blog about four seconds ago — bookspaperscissors recommended it. (Thank you, sidebar!) Um, the emporium is just a wonderful blog. It’s ultra-stylish. Enjoy!
A Writer’s Ruminations - I follow a lot of literature blogs. Writers’ blogs. Yeah, and A Writer’s Ruminations is very good. It helps me out. Great quotations. Solid original content. Thumbs up to this divine tumblelog.
gold panda - There are two things on gold panda: a peculiar 4-line dialogue between a musician and a shopkeeper, and a graphic with a computer on it. The picture reminds us that Gold Panda is thankfully working on his debut album. I remember that gorgeous July 31st morning when I woke up feeling like Pitchfork CEO Ryan Schreiber … and then I logged onto pitchfork.com and selected Best New Music … and my love affair with “Quitters Raga” had begun … ♥7/31/09♥
Curiouser and Curiouser - Got to give a shout-out to this tumblelog where rebloggable pics are found in abundance. I shall follow this blog into the dar — forever. Um, y’all will surely enjoy Rachel’s posts. All of them are “absurd” — true “epic wins.”
“I need to do some chores”; “My schedule is calling me”; “I have a life”; “Test tomorrow”; “I have better things to do.” Ideally, one of those excuses for this abrupt departure from an otherwise-fun wrap-up would work. Too bad those are just stock phrases I pulled from stockphrases.org … visit it? Quickly: if I didn’t mention you, don’t fret. I never repeat. All of the bros I’m following will get their time in the spotlight. Here’s my other two FFs. Take care, my beloved readers.
