Outside of the MeFi world, my regular go-tos are:

Drawn! - so many great illustration links. Never ceases to amaze me. The Cartoonist is one of my backups for more graphic goodness.

Slate and Salon are still two of the more reliable online dailies with interesting original content.

Largehearted Boy - of all the music blogs, this one seems to link the highest ratio of things that interest me. And the "Tomorrow's Shopping Bag" list of new DVDs and CDs on Mondays always causes me spend more than I planned to that week.

Me3dia's Gapers Block covers Chicago wonderfully and has turned me on to quite a bit of things in this town I would have missed otherwise.

Figured I should answer my own. I lurk around Metafilter a lot, but that seems a given here. I'll try to list five others.

Fandom Wank and its offshoots because most of my online activity since I stumbled online has been fandom related, and fandom_wank is like the pin to that balloon. Plus, it reminds me regularly of how crazy people are. Not as trolly as LJDrama.

My fandom LJ friendslist. Say what you want about livejournal (because I've said it myself too), the social aspect of those friends lists with all my communities in one spot keeps me going back. My current favorite communities are scans_daily, icon_tutorial, teh_music, foto_decadent, little_sibling and metafandom.

Nataliedee.com was something I foudn through Metafilter. It was a crap post about her new dog, but I clicked through because...puppies! I've stuck around since then, and find it regularly funny.

Silent Bob Speaks is Kevin Smith's weblog. I love his humor, and I'm a regular gawker at his blog.

The Movie Spoiler is one of my favorites because I don't get out to the movies often. Yet being in fandom, I like being able to take part in the discussions about the movies.

And that's my list. :)

An oldie but goodie I hadn't come across before yesterday is shillpages.com. It's got great movie title screen and Fay Wray galleries.
It's much larger and more safe for work than kstills.com (which isn't very work safe at all) which I thought I remembered was the correct URL for the hill pages.

1. MetaChat
2. MetaChat
3. MetaChat
4. ????
5. Profit!

Oh, and the porn. Always the porn . . .

My daily roundup besides MeCha consists of:

Salon & Slate, as mentioned above

PopMatters, Pitchfork, and Stylus Magazine for music/movie reviews

Cursor for political news, and links to DailyKos and Americablog just to keep an ear to the ground, so to speak.

I'll hit Flickr to see if any of my friends have posted anything new, and check the blog I share with several friends also to see if there's anything new.


There are other sites I visit pretty regularly, but that handful is definitely the batch I visit every weekday.

Cleveland Craigslist
Oblivio
NSFW Sublime Directory NSFW
Riley Dog
Strictly Film School

sublime directory is OK, sciurius, but NSFW! Voyeurweb NSFW! is where it's at...

Other than, the metas, not much else (which is probably why I post so few links) but Design Observer occasionally has some great stuff like their latest.
I guess sometimes, EGON and Artcal-NY.

I used to regularly read: Zeldman and all those kinds of blogs, Rebecky, Gothamist, and Speak Up. Now, not so much.

If I told you guys which sites I visit every day, you would mock me roundly for being lame. (Lots of entertainment news and celebrity gossip.)

I wouldn't mock you. I have ohnotheydidn't on my lj f-list.

Ahh, pr0n. Like a faithful dog, it is always there, piddling on your carpet.

Thanks funkyhelix. I feel better about myself. Here's a little sampling of some of my favorite sites:
Go Fug Yourself
D-Listed
tvsquad
The Obscure Store and Reading Room

I like to visit the Storm King up 9W from where I used to live. I love to visit Seneca lake a few miles over. I love the arboretum here at Cornell because the roadway around it is like a mini MotoGP course. I love to visit NYC now that I no longer live there and... #5 I guess would have to be NOLA, even though I've only been there once.

Oh, you meant sites on the Internet. n/m.

jrossi4r, I love go fug yourself. I don't know who any of the people are, but I adore the snarky clothes comments.

*mock jrossi4r roundly anyway*

Google Groups -- once in a while, sci.military.naval actually has something naval-related among all the OT stuff

MF

The Doonesbury strip, via Slate

Ask MF

I get one more? SportsFilter, if there's anything football-related.

Apart from my true favourites which are MeCha and MeTa, I love to visit:
Empty Bottle;
Nadablog;
The Fix;
Everlasting Blort;
Total Viscocity Meltdown.

Of course, I spend a lot of time at places like Google News and I tend to have the local weather radar running in the background a lot during summer to watch out for storms.

I used to love visiting another obscure site, but it has constantly dissapointed me with its lack of new content for a long time now, despite the author constantly claiming to be working on a new design. I suspect she may have changed URLs to avoid me.
