I just came home. Despite having a mini computer with my Incredible 2 Droid phone, and ample time for internetting (I take the bus in the mornings), I open my computer and find no less than 10 open internet pages for me to peruse, scan or read very carefully. A typical session at the mighty MacBook begins. This time, I want to inventory how much reading/bullshit I actually read on the internet almost daily. Why? Because it's fun . . .
Lykke Li sent out a note, just speaking to her fans - as an artist, how life is treating her. I'm giving it my full attention when I get home, cuz for some reason my Droid won't respect the alignment of the text in her email and it's coming through all cut off. I put a star on it, and mark it as unread.
TheSuperficial.com - Absolutely hilarious writing. But I tend to just scan it for 3 seconds for the celeb pics, most of which are very incriminating, especially since most of the pics are boring sightings of pseudo celebs going to the Farmer's market . . . Guilty pleasure, yes, of course. Visited daily, almost without fail. Just did the math, every year I spend a minimum of 18 minutes and 25 seconds on this site. Worth it.
Other - Today I read about a lot of downtown LA news, including Skid Row issues, lack of hotel rooms, and a doggy park. All while screaming out more (correct) answers than Lonny, while watching Jeopardy!
3-5 other scattered pages - They are lists of websites of lists of calendars of events of event listings. Mostly free events around LA for the summer. . . . Shakespeare in the park stuff, outdoor movie screenings, concerts in downtown LA. The reasons I live in the city.
LAist - I usually read this throughout the day. One of the best blogs about LA, I think. Well-rounded with news, culture and let's me know exactly what's going on. Also, more of the funny/stupid celebrity crap that I need.
Gmail - Kept pretty clean. Just Groupon and guestlists. Cuz that's what's up.
Facebook - You know what it is.
YouTube - Finally, and this one comes in spurts, I want to go on El Tubo to completely lose myself in music videos and the like. Currently watching Sia, Kina Grannis covers, old Katy Perry coffeehouse acoustic vids, Fun. covers, other covers, and more Sia.
