Because Procrastination is "Necessary"





We don't know about you, but for a while there, we were a little bit (okay, more than a little bit) addicted to celebrity gossip sites. At first, they seemed like a great form of brainless procrastination — now, we find them and their commenters a little bit (okay, more than a little bit) morally reprehensible, and mostly just plain mean. And while we're all for a little schadenfreude, really, we're just sick of giving some "celebrities" more attention than they deserve. We're looking at you, Paris — and while we're at it, you, too, Perez.

So while we can't say we procrastinate any less these days, we've diverted our attentions to more thoughtful and relatively-mature outlets. Like Salon. And Television Without Pity. And the almighty Jezebel.

Also, Kara is now addicted to this blog. Jenna says this is because Kara is a geek. Kara wondered if geek should be placed in quotes. Jenna said, "Case closed."

What nifty websites or blogs do you visit regularly?

Our very own Canada is the Andrea (or is it "Andrea"?) of this post!
 
thesartorialist.blogspot.com

and

www.ooosasoccer.com (not as mysterious as it looks - just a sight about women's soccer!)
 
When I crave a pop culture or gossip fix, I read POP CANDY by Whitney Matheson. Even though it's with USA Today, her blog's really good. She does a podcast too.
 
Pop Candy and Go Fug Yourself are among some of our faves, too! And we haven't visited The Sartorialist before, Bev, but we're hooked now.

Of course, we're always glad to know that Andrea has her eye out for unnecessary quotations. O Canada! So much more than America's Hat.
