My Top Five Blogs
Tuesday, August 15, 2006
In honour of Arcadia's Top 5 festival, I've decided to do my own list, and I've chosen my Top 5 blogs. Here they are, not really in order of preference.
1. The Jungle
OK, Jane's currently off air, busy with the big move from Aus to England. And I know I'm always linking up to her and going on about how much I like her, but it's all true. Jane's this weird combination of brilliant writer, fantastic comedienne, and gutter-mouth. You can't open her blog at work. Don't be tempted to. You will be fired. But (for those of you not already highly familiar with Janey), next time you're all safe and sound at home, with no nasty managerial types glaring over your shoulder or trawling through your computer's history, give her a lookup.
2. The Sartorialist
I've linked up to this site before as well. I don't know what it is that I love about it so much - I'm not a big fashion fundi. I guess I love this site because it's full of ordinary people looking great. I also like the way it makes me feel like New York is only a short step away.
3. Passing the Open Windows
Ok, ok, it looks like I picked Arcadia's blog just because she inspired this post. But really, she is one of the first five blogs I check each time I log on. From her very first, virgin post, I knew she was gonna be a star. I was at work, and i turned to my friend, Matt, and said: 'Read here. You're gonna like this a lot.' So, go there.
4. Charming, but Single
This is a girly blog, detailing the dating life of CBS, as she calls herself. I'll admit: when I first read this blog, I was jealous as all hell. Who could possibly make dating and flirting and general female angsty-stuff be this interesting? CBS writes so effortlessly, and the reading is so easy, and entertaining.
5. Fuzzy Around The Edges
Mike's the guy next door. I like him because he's South African, reads well, and is so darn likeable. He's down to earth, and funny. His blog isn't one massive existential quandary, and it's got nice pictures. I like mike's blog because I like Mike so much - he's the student I always wanted to be: living it up at a varsity far away from my parents' home, in a way I like to live things up: not too hectically.
The post below, on how you blog, is still open for comments. I've had so many interesting responses - please keep them coming!
