blog round-up 2

I need to find a new wordpress layout that doesn’t frustrate me and I can’t stop listening to Alanis Morissette and this entry was 7,000 years in the making. Check these sites out or a pox on your houses!

My Blog Ate My Homework
Obviously a blog’s tone can be the make or break part of, y’know, reading it. There’s a whole art to delivery on the internet that not everyone gets (which I’m kind of thankful for because otherwise I would get nothing done for blog reading and I’m fantastic enough at doing that already) but Fiona gets it, tone and all. There’s something so impeccably timed and rhythmic about every sentence in her entries that I don’t believe she could write something boring if she tried. In fact, I think she would fail miserably at being boring, so there.

My Flickr Contacts Page
Maybe this will make up for the fact that I am horrendously behind on my flickr comments? Ha-ha! But seriously–art inspires art and I am continually inspired by the people on my flickr contacts page. They all have unique, compelling and original ways of photographing their worlds and I am so grateful that they share it.

onefourthreetwo
Kelvin is Vetus Astrum’s other half, and he’s as fiery as she is. :) His blog is great because of the incredibly honest way he confronts and relates the world in his writing. His insights range from sweet and sentimental to crudely humourous and I don’t know how he’d feel about it, but I think he’s quite poetic (he types like a painter paints, if you will). It’s worth clicking his blog just to find out how, exactly one can be crudely humourous and poetic at the same time (he makes it seem so effortless!).

Post Secret
I don’t know what to say about Post Secret that hasn’t already been said, but my favourite Post Secret ever was “Have fun with your new friends, I hope they fucking eat you alive.” It was AWESOME. I wish I had saved it. I thought I did. I hope it’s made/makes one of the books. It really spoke to me with it’s oddly empowering rage and bitterness. Odd Girl Out? Been there! Never fear Post Secret sender, you shall persevere.

Veronique’s PhotoBlog
Veronique is one of the most passionate people I know, and that passion pervades her photography no matter what her subject is. I always think it must be really something to look through the lens with her eyes because there is always so much going on in and beyond the photos she takes. She’s way talented and I’m way lucky to know her.

Don’t make me tell you to check all these sites out twice, yo.

    kelvin: your writing never struck me as particularly immature, but. either way as long as you’re writing! :)

    bookfraud: keep your eye out! i’m hoping to make this a semi-regular occurance on the weekends. if i give away my whole blogroll in one entry i might have to (gasp!) actually blog and i’ll be damned if i let THAT happen. heh :)

    And yay for new blogs. I know I can just look at your sidebar for your links, but I like reading your descriptions so I know what kinda craziness awaits me when I click on those links.
