Blog Day 2007: August 31

I noticed this whole Blog Day thing somewhere… U-Handbag?? and decided to participate. The task: find 5 interesting blogs I wouldn’t otherwise patronize and post them here for my readers to see, and notify said bloggers that I linked to them. Add this Technorati tag in somewhere. Oh, and do it today. And I’d like to say that I actually have subscribed to all these - it’s not just an exercise. Here we go:

[Sorry to those I tagged who couldn't find me! Apparently WordPress is not as friendly as I'd like it to be!]

1. Bridget Jones Has Nothing On Me: mocking others for 33 years and counting. Be sure to check out the cast of characters. Real life soap opera? Whatever it is, there’s a good fair amount of that sort of black humor I love so much here. Not quite as dopey as Bridget Jones was.
2. Confessions of a Closet Environmentalist: In their words: “A couple of environmental minded students setting out to live sustainably on a student budget. This is a record of the struggle, the successes and the failures. Along the way, the attempt to fight the negative stereotypes of being an ‘environmentalist’.” I find this very interesting. Will forward to environmentalist-student brother.

3. Because I’m me and I can’t just do this without crafts, Suburose is next: bookbinding and pottery by a father and daughter. Like many of the good crafting blogs I read, this one is attached to an Etsy store with beautiful things in it. As with many blogs I subscribe to, I found myself liking the story attached to the blog.

4. A Chicken In Every Granny Cart: this one’s a smorgasbord. There’s (1) the kind of cooking that makes me hungry, (2) pictures of New York that are gorgeous and (3) it totally seems like the kind of thing most humans are - a unique mix of experiences, interests, and sensory information. Oh - did I mention I like to cook and used to live in New York. I completely admire her for cooking & experimenting in her tiny apartment. I tried that too. It’s such a shame such great ingredients have to be processed in kitchens that are about 2′ square!.

5. Slice of the Day is a blog that posts approximately an entry a day about a different flower. Pictures, compiled information, etc. You know I love flowers (and plants generally) and I love information in general, and now I get to have a daily dose of something great and beautiful! Yay!
