Writer's Block: Internet addictions

[Error: unknown template qotd]

*sigh* , and in no particular order:

-The Gothamist. NYC tabloid news with the occasional hilarious bit of writing. Have to admit, I find myself reading the comments posted more than the actual stories.

-The Onion's AV Club. Sean ONeal's newswires are the stuff of legend.

-CNN.com. Just when I need to figure out wtf is going down.

-Cracked. I can link surf through articles over there for *hours*

-Slate. Their articles are intriguing and amusing. And there are often links to The Root, a black news mag.

-Archive of Our Own, a fanfic repository. Tag surfing over there is so damn easy. I have WAY too many tabs open from there right now.

I don't even want to think about how much of my life Cracked has already absorbed. It's kind of ridiculous how much time I spend on there sometimes.

The link recommendations at the end of articles are the real killers. I end up following link after link after link, laughing my ass off all the way.

Oh God I know. I'll go to read one article, hours later I'm like "What just happened? How is suddenly night time?"

A lot of Cracked articles are not just funny, but insightful as well.
