But OF COURSE this is one of the best! (Sarah's too!) I also love: www.bookopoly.com (you can post an "ad" for books you are searching for - no bidding and really reasonable) www.powells.com (the BEST used bookstore EVER) www.cybereditions.com/aldaily (articles, etc. from ALL sorts of sources) www.marlysmagazine.com (for Lynda Barry fans) www.quoteland.com (when you are searching for JUST the right quote, reference) http://foia.fbi.gov - Kinda "Big Brother-ish" - but fascinating www.teachers4change.org - a grassroots action group for teachers here in San Francisco (I have some articles published there) --- ---

Gwentown!!! It's so fun here!

Gwentown, of course; also hipMama and Salon and Jayden's page and Sluggy and The Boondocks and a bunch of weblogs that I like reading every day.

The Onion. It's so great to be at work and bored or just wanting to goof off for 20 minutes and then remember a new issue should be out. There are also a few articles I can go back and read whenever I want a laugh. Oh! And the Institute of Official Cheer, for the same reason, although because of working on a book that site hasn't been updated in a while.

But Susan, Lileks does update his Daily Bleat most weekdays, and it's well worth a look -- many chuckles. His site is definitely one of my favorites.

Thanks, April, I'll check out the Daily Bleat. :)

Gwentown, Tomato Nation, Disgruntled Housewife, Shelleyness, Chicklit, Squishy, Damn Hell Ass Kings: these are the ones I'm most devoted to. I wish I knew how to do links!

Gwentown, of course. (And I did not receive any sexual favors for saying that. Honest. Really.)

If you're truly depraved, you can go to www.plumbdesign.com/thesarus (the visual thesarus) and feed in weird words and watch the little spider from space on acid thingee go apeshit. Its a hoot. But then again, I'm easily entertained.

Ooops...it's www.plumbdesign.com/thesaurus/ Now you know why I spend so much time there.

Geez, how could I forget The Straight Dope and Chowhound and Salon and Emode and I like the Onion too, and Blogger and Blogstart and Brunching Shuttlecocks and One World magazine. Among others.

This place called Gwentown, you should check her out.
(I received lots and lots of sexual favors to say that.)
(Not really.)
(Yes, I love Gwentown; no, I didn't receive any favors of any kind.)
(So there.)

I also like Brunching Shuttlecocks, and Mac Surfer's Headline News. I use Stella's Site for Tomb Raider walkthroughs, and Fast Company and How, magazine web sites.

And I use Yahoo! for lots of stuff, including email, news, maps, chat, clubs, instant messaging, and searching (although I use lots of search sites).

Here's another good site: Mean Kitty

Klee taught me to do that! Ain't she sweet?!

-- Anonymous, October 04, 2000

Sweet? Uh, NO!!! What did she teach you? You have 4 posts that don't seem to do anything. Were you trying to tell us that you like the 'Mean Kitty' website, that Klee taught you how to post the link and then let her know that she is nice for doing it and get us to agree that she is sweet?? Uhh, what the eff!!??? Maybe she can teach you about wasting bandwith and HOW NOT TO DO IT??!! And don't start with the 'I was merely trying to say...' or 'Noone was talking to you so stay out ...'. Just don't start with it!! You effed up and wasted space on Gwen's board and irritated the shit out of many of the rest of us!!!

Speaking of Kitties...did you know there's a book by an Australian publisher titled: "Games You Can Play With Your Pussy" ? Before you rush out and order a copy, you should be aware it's for cat lovers. And it's got nothing to do with making chili.
