Favorite sites

[DCJenn]

We haven't done this in a while and every time we do I find something new and different-

What are your favorite websites (besides this one, of course). The ones you find yourself checking daily or your place to go for sales or fun or whatever.

Mine are:

http://www.frua.org for insight and support for families who have adopted kids from Russian and other Eastern European countries

http://www.frommers.com for my travel obessions

http://www.overstock.com for whatever I need- cheap!

and http://www.army.mil for anything related to my husband's job that http://www.nmfa.org doesn't have (national military families association)

http://www.bikeforums.net (especially Road Cycling forum)
http://www.studentdoctor.net (especially Emergency forum)

Now you'll all see how shallow I am. I don't look at all of these every day, I swear. But regularly. Speaking of swearing, there's a lot of it in a lot of these links.

Blah blah blah:

Slate-- http://www.slate.com/

New York Times-- http://www.nytimes.com/

Roger Ebert-- http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage
I can see why he's the only movie critic ever to win a Pulitzer.

The Onion-- http://www.theonion.com/

Television Without Pity-- http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com/

Literary Mama-- http://www.literarymama.com/


I'm in a blog phase. It's probably not healthy.

The famous dooce.

Kind of bitter and funny.

She makes her kid so lovable in the way she writes about her.

A Letter to My Children-- http://twinklelittlestar.typepad.com/letter/
Hearing- and visually-impaired mother of twins. Very smart. I've learned tons.

Finslippy-- http://finslippy.typepad.com/finslippy/
If you can find her birth story, it's hilarious. Edited to add: link to birthstory: http://finslippy.typepad.com/finslip...reluctant.html

An infertility blog, but now she has a kid and is thinking about #2.

Super fluffy but addictive.


Photo blogs:

Joe's NYC-- http://www.joesnyc.streetnine.com/
Captures NYC in all its gritty beauty extremely well.

Orbit 1-- http://orbit1.com/
Excellent eye on life in the midwest. He really shows what I love about the region. Keep clicking on "random" for like a dozen pictures, and you'll see.


Miscellaneous:

The world of books.

Overheard in New York-- http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/

Probably my number-one favorite site right now.

http://www.mothering.com/discussions
I buy WAY too much stuff from their for sale board. like I have said before, there are some serious militant mamas that drive me nuts so I am more of a lurker here.

the most excellent hollywood gossip

http://www.perezhilton.com
hollywood gossip although he can be really crass and mean sometimes

http://www.nytimes.com

http://www.diaperpin.com/forums
a resource for cloth diapering moms, as well as earthy child rearing discussion. not as freakish about vaccinations, etc as mothering.com. also an excellent place to buy cheap used kids stuff

Oh, I should have never read Julie's list! I had forgotten about Post Secret.

I go to:
http://gofugyourself.typepad.com/
http://www.toothpastefordinner.com
http://www.portlandfoodanddrink.com
http://www.slate.com
http://www.filmfreakcentral.net/
http://www.epicurious.com
And a couple of blogs that are probably more interesting if you know something about the person writing them.
