what I look at on the internet

Typically I look at the same websites each day. Call me a creature of habit. For a while I tried to maintain my favorite sites using my browser, but it quickly became a problem maintaining the sites on multiple computers. I know there are tools out there that can do this for you (http://del.icio.us/, etc.), but I wanted an easy way to keep my favorite sites easily accessible to me.

On the right-hand side of my homepage there is a section called 'LINKS'. Here is where I keep all my favorite sites that I visit daily. I run through them in a particular order every day.


Eat Drink Laugh Love - This is the first site I look at every day. My friend Stephanie maintains this blog and I love to see what she and her husband Andreas have been up to. Whether it is a new recipe or a yummy bottle of wine, this blog is perfect for food lovers.

Andreas' Blog - This is the second site I look at every day (no offense Andreas!). This is Stephanie's husband. He is a funny, witty guy, and his blog is loaded with interesting and humorous tidbits that he stumbles across during his web travels.

Auntie Scotch Raves - I read this site in the afternoons. Auntie Scotch used to blog quite often, but she had a dry spell for a while and is just now getting back into the blogosphere. She is a very funny writer and her thoughts make me laugh out loud.

Best Celeb Gossip? - I also read this site in the afternoon. It is kind of silly, and some other blogs carry the same updates at this one, but sometimes there is a good post or good picture.

Blogging LA - I'm not exactly sure how I came to read this blog. I don't live in LA, but it is fun to hear people rant and rave about one of America's largest cities. I don't read this blog daily.

Celebrity Dirty Laundry - This is another site I read in the afternoons if time allows. Similar to 'Best Celeb Gossip?', this site has fun pictures of the celebrities and the goings on in Hollywood.

Defamer - I have contemplated taking this site off of my favorites list. I really don't like the layout and find this site hard to read. But they do have some funny stories and the occasional story that isn't on the other blogs.

I Don't Like You In That Way - This site cracks me up. I believe it is written by the same guy who runs WWTDD (covered later). His sarcasm and raunchiness are pretty funny to me.

Perez Hilton - This is the #1 gossip site on the Internet right now. I have been reading this site for a few years, and while I didn't like Perez at first, he has grown on me (I even wrote him a fan letter, he didn't write back). This site is looked at throughout the day and is my main source of gossip news.

Pink Is The New Blog - For a long time, this site was my main source of gossip news, but lately I have found the posts to be a little too long for me to quickly glance at during the day, like I can do with PerezHilton.com. However, I have grown to "know" Trent and enjoy the end of his daily posts where he talks about what he is doing. Although I don't know him personally, it is interesting to see how he is progressing through life.

The Blemish - Another silly blog. Celebrity gossip, pictures, yada yada yada.

TMZ - A newer site on the celebrity gossip scene, TMZ has quickly become a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood. They often have videos of the celebrities to accompany the posts. I read this site daily.

Towle Road - Arguably the leader in gay news, the peeps at Towle Road post the latest gay happenings, with particular attention to legal issues affecting gays across the world. Sometimes funny, but mostly informative, I read this site daily or every other day. Sometimes it can be a downer, but it is well written.

What Would Tyler Durden Do? - Written by the same guy who does 'I Don't Like You in That Way', this site is effin' funny. There isn't much substance to it, but the pictures and commentary on the celebrities is really second to none. I read this site daily.

Boing Boing - This is a nerdy site with sometimes funny postings and informative information about technology and all things geeky. I read this site daily.

SlashDot - More nerdy than BoingBoing, this site delves a little deeper into the technological aspect of geekdom. I read this site every few days.

Justinsomnia - I was trying to remember how I found this site. I have been looking at it for so long, I can't even remember. Justin Watt, a techie, posts interesting stuff about technology, news, and his cooking. It is an interesting site and I read it daily.

Ebaum's World - Wanna laugh? Check out Ebaum's World. Filled with funny videos, pictures, jokes and games, this site is funny stuff. I read this almost daily.

CNN - My main source for news. I check this site a million times a day.

Sun-Sentinel - My main source for local news. I check this site a few times a day.

Boston.com - My source for Boston news. I check this site once or twice a day.

Cape Cod Times - My source for my hometown news. I check this site daily, or every other day.
