Mecha Blogs I am lazy and yet I love you all and want to read your blogs and look at your websites and gently pass some idle hours enjoying your creativity and the brilliance of your prose. So list them here?→[More:] I would like a pony that we will make right here, one thread with everybody's blog link. Because I am just too lazy to click on your name and look at your user page - no, I want them all in one thread that then can go in the sidebar please taz & dodgy?

I'll even self linkingly start: Hangover Journals is my (fairly boring) blog.

I don't have a "weblog", but I respond to emails.

When people email.

Which is never.

ugh. my lab rat blog, which started off being about labwork, but as of january is just a list and opinions of the books I've read. Which really isn't so interesting to anyone except myself, unless you like to read crappy fantasy novels and medicore book club books.

posted by gaspode 27 January | 12:35

medicore: hee. You know what I mean.

posted by gaspode 27 January | 12:37

My main blog, Intellectual Poison, which will lead you to my numerous other project blogs.

The one I am the most creative with is my newly minted Fictionarium, my dictionary of fake or made up words. Its an offshoot from my New Words page (actually, turning it into a blog just made it alot easier to update with new words).

Okay, no more self-linking, I feel dirty.

I encode my true thoughts and feelings in all my nonsense mecha posts. It's exhausting. I've decided to stop feeling and thinking.

posted by Divine_Wino 27 January | 12:48

my no-longer updated one is a blog of interesting visual/art/design stuff online--most of the links still work, i think.

posted by amberglow 27 January | 12:48

I've decided to stop feeling and thinking.

Great. More work for me.

TPS, who's your gay church boyfriend?

posted by amberglow 27 January | 12:51

He threatened to blind anyone who tried to keep him from eating a bucket of friend chicken.

as opposed to enemy chicken?

posted by jonmc 27 January | 12:53

I broadcast what would otherwise be the contents of my blog telepathically. I don't like to type that much. Trust me, it's all right there in your selfconscious.

posted by amro 27 January | 12:54

subconscious. duh.

posted by amro 27 January | 12:55

Yeah, that post is hilarious TPS, it sounds like a dream.

I just don't have much to say.

sciurus, throw on a jacket next time you get an award, ok?

posted by amberglow 27 January | 13:03

cool!

and i love those std posters, Capn!

posted by amberglow 27 January | 13:06

My blog is boring and rarely updated.

That said, I'm working on a project blog that might be a bit more interesting.

posted by selfnoise 27 January | 13:09

amberglow, I will tell you at the next meetup.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 27 January | 13:09

Ha, thanks amberglow, but I had no idea I was getting it. I was just chilling in a room with a few hundred neighbors and then they called my name.

posted by sciurus 27 January | 13:09

Yaaaaay congrats on the award, sciurus!

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 27 January | 13:11

I really haven't gotten my mojo back since the hurrricane required me to take a few months off from blogging...

But here it is in all its glory.

posted by SassHat 27 January | 13:12

ok, TPS, or bring him if he's hot. ; >

posted by amberglow 27 January | 13:15

Hahaha, this is a hilarious conversation, amberglow, because I swear to you I was thinking of hooking the two of you up. I'm not sure if you're each other's "type" but ya never know with loooooooove, and you do have the politics thing in common.

But I bet you already know him and my even thinking it will sound totally ridiculous to you. I'm e-mailing the name to you right now; post back in the thread whether you know him or not.

posted by ThePinkSuperhero 27 January | 13:18

self, i really liked Veniss Underground...i wish he would write more set there.

have you read Cities?

posted by amberglow 27 January | 13:19

Amber - Veniss was the first novel I read this year (after getting it for Xmas) and I really enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to Shriek.

I haven't seen that collection... I'll be sure and check it out. Thanks!

posted by amberglow 27 January | 13:37

well, I know you're not the most athletic guy, amber, but he's a French corpse. I think you could take him ;>

posted by jonmc 27 January | 14:02

I never update my blogs. I work too hard on the writing, so it's such an onerous task that I rarely devote time to it.

But if you care to read, there's Mu*zine, which is supposed to be about museum issues and what I think about 'em, and there's Jerseyism, which is supposed to be about being from NJ.

If I had more time, they would both be excellent projects. I wish I could write blogs all day instead of having to show up at a job.

posted by Miko 27 January | 14:19

Proust! i'm impressed (i still haven't tackled him)

It's not that hard, really. I usually put on some lilac cologne, act effete, open a bottle of wine, and sit down to read. It's good to take a break after every sentence, but sometimes 50 pages is too long to wait, so I opt for breaking at the major clauses. ;)

posted by omiewise 27 January | 14:35

I'm not going to point you to my LiveJournal, because it's mainly an infrequently updated way for a few of my real-life friends and people from a no-longer-existing web board to keep up with random chatter from daily life. Plus then you'd make fun of me like we make fun of Eideteker for having a LiveJournal.

posted by matildaben 27 January | 14:37

Thanks for starting this thread, mygoth. I am unhealthily nosy about people I don't know.

posted by gaspode 27 January | 14:48

Oh! Oh! Me! Me!

My entire blog style is predicated on no one actually reading it, but if I was going to reveal it to anyone, this would be the place*.

*As opposed to that other place.

posted by tommasz 27 January | 15:50

We should make a nice page in the wiki to collect all of these links, no? I volunteer to do it later tonight or tomorrow if no one else does it before that. Great idea, mygothlaundry!

posted by iconomy 27 January | 15:56

thoughts interrupted

It's at blogspot in it's current incarnation. I've been blogging since June 2001 and the blog has been in several locations (including two of my own sites). I own silverbees.com but haven't done anything with it yet.

Adland is my 'beyond-a-blog heaven and hell for advertising addicts 'round the world'. Over 30k worth of quicktime ads. And 27 years worth of superbowl commercials! So if it's ad-crappy prose you wanna feast your eyes on, that would be the place. Like here, anyone can post - but alas, I must approve it because there are so many spammers around these days. *le sigh* I post there or work on it every day.

I keep my portfolio and photolog here.

and my ascii log here.

none of that is very interesting or too frequently updated.

two blogs:

The Old One and the Not So Old One
The Old One has an audioblog of me, though, so it's neater.

posted by Lipstick Thespian 27 January | 23:13

you know, the more I read my stuff form that old View From The Counter blog, the more I'm impressed with myself. I must have been holding that stuff in for so long that it came out in a huge expelling of words, but damn, I was good, if I do say so myself.

posted by jonmc 27 January | 23:16

The wiki page - I'll add you right now, lipstick thespian. After this people can add themselves.
