Just now as I was scrubbing down the kitchen sink thrice with Comet, discovering a blinding white gleam beneath the buildup of coffee stains etc, I thought to myself, “I would like to know about some good daily blogs.” Yes, the mind tends to wander during heavy cleaning.
So I was wondering, readers, if you could recommend some entertaining regularly-updated online journals. Any subject welcome — except politics because I don’t need the agita, honestly.
I am already familiar with all of the celeb gossip blogs, so, none of those either. I only really read one, Oh No They Didn’t, which is a clearinghouse of all of them.

I have a couple of blog suggestions:
My Friend Erin has her a Dress a Day blog. It’s focussed mostly on fabrics and vintage patterns, but she delves into modern stuff too. It’s fun and v. inspiring if you’re into sewing at all. http://www.dressaday.com/dressaday.html
Zoilus is a music and culture blog by Carl Wilson, a Toronto journalist. (And husand of writer Shelia Heti.) It takes pop culture (mostly music) very seriously and is very heady. It’s also pretty Toronto centric.

this is hard. all the blogs i go to are visual or design blogs and that may not be what you want to read?
The Big Three, the ephemera collection, the 3 blogs i adore more then any other:
+ The Kircher Society (scroll down….)
+ Bibliodyssey
+ Things Magazine. God I love Things.
The other one i love that you may love:
+ Scout Holiday
+ Coolhunter.net
+ Look At Me
+ We Make Money Not Art
And i got to a ton of art and design blogs; i won’t list them heer unless you want me to. but i think youd love the above ones.
I knew you would have some good ones, Olivia! I admire your blog for its links 🙂 I would definitely check out art and design blogs!
I read about 30 blogs regularly, and another 40 or so irregularly.
Here’s some I’d recommend:
2point8
A List Apart
Book Covers
Daring Fireball
Fffound!
Hardcore Street Photography
Overheard in New York
Seattlest
Hopefully something you like in there.
Too bad you don’t want a celeb blog. I dont read any celeb stuff at all, except for this fashion blog, which is hysterical:

And if you tire of all those difficult words, there’s always the photos to laugh at. But the words are pretty damn funny too.
some of my favourites:
lovely anna in england – never fails to make me cry with laughter
