Linkfest! Other Sites You Should Enjoy

Linkfest! Other Sites You Should Enjoy 04/02/2009

Chris reminded me (through one of his latest posts) that I'm a bit overdue for a linkfest blog! So today I'm going to ask you, my gentle readers, to check out some of the blogs and sites that I've been really enjoying lately.

GrizzlyBearCouture & KateKing
Two of my really good friends have each just started up a vintage clothing business. They salvage amazing clothing and find new homes for it. Please give both of them some love and encouragement by checking out their products (and buying something)!

Mirrorshards
100 word short stories, every single day. I subscribe to this site through an RSS feed and I’m telling you- other than my daily ESV feed, this is my morning fuel. Each story is smart and fun. And since they’re only 100 words, even the ones that aren’t as great are still worth reading.

BabieMamaDrama
My wife just began blogging about our life. She is so much funnier than I could ever hope to be. If you want a really honest, humorous look at two new parents learning about life- this is a great blog (and I’m not just saying that because I’m married to the author). Two of my personal favorites include this One and this One.

A Book Elegantly Bound
Megan is one of the most articulate and descriptive writers I've ever had the pleasure of knowing/reading. Start following her now because she's bound to be on par with Sylvia Plath in another few years (although her writing doesn't smack of depression like Plath's does).

Dinosaur Comics
It’s hard to get into this comic at first because the art doesn’t change. Author Ryan North took the static form idea from David Lynch´s postmodern strip “The Angriest Dog in the World.” Seriously, though- it's a must read. Not only is it very funny- it’s also very thought provoking. It’s a comic about philosophy, religion, social commentary, and all sorts of other topics written concisely and with grand intellect and narrated by a self-absorbed T-Rex.

Extra Credit
If you really want to read something of mine today, re-read through my Watchmen or Heroes Series cause I really enjoyed both of those. Prepare yourselves for tomorrow, too. I’m going to go on a tirade about THIS and I'd sure like your comments and thoughts.

I just came across Mirror Shards myself. And the Geithner thing. Have fun with that.

Yeesh, talk about putting me on the spot! Nathan's Braindroppings = daily Bible readings. Yeah, I'm going to be able to measure up to that...

Thanks for the link and the compliments, though, seriously; I always feel awkward in these situations (this being, I believe, the third time I've ever been linked) because there's not really a way for me to return the favor, given the nature of Mirrorshards. (I'm very firm about it remaining story-focused and not branching out into the banal and uninteresting details of my life or my thoughts on random articles I've read.)

Hi Nathan,

Oh, don't worry about "returning favors." I'm just glad for something new and interesting to read every morning! You do that consistently!

Thanks!
