yarn tart

UPDATE: Yarn Tart has moved to an unknown address; the link referenced in this blog (yarntart.blogspot.com) no longer connects to the reviewed blog. (01/01/07)

yarn tart

Mmj's blog is an interesting mix of politics, current events, knitting, and movie reviews; it presents a unique twist on blogging. Yarn tart is a pleasant read and a good addition to my list.

Again, I've found a non-American viewpoint; its not that I dislike my country - I really do love it - but personally I feel the need to listen to the international critique. How can we claim to be an example if we don't look beyond our own spheres? I'd rather listen to criticism and have the choice to integrate it into my life/my country than play deaf and miss the opportunity to grow.

Enjoy the international views I tend to discover throughout my travels through Blogger, dear American readers. And to the international writers I admire: thank you. I really hope I can become a force in shaping the US's future and even if no one else likes reading what the world thinks about the USA, I thoroughly appreciate every word.

My rant is done; go read yarn tart.

Divination

UPDATE: This blog author has not updated in the past month, and the format of the blog is not coming up on either IE 7.0 or Firefox. I'll clear this update if he posts again/confirms that he's the same author I reviewed two years ago. 01/01/07

Divination

A fifth continent conquered! And what a find! I personally agree with the author's - debaser - point of view on the American government (it's one reason I'm going into constitutional law). Divination is a great read - from his scathing political view of the US to a great story about the beach - and it made me think (one of my favorite pasttimes I must add). Read a couple posts back (including the "Costal Chronicles: Parts I - IV" and the "Interval: Attack on Democracy and the Freedom of Speech." I seriously enjoyed them.

Beginning, Final Chapter

Update: This blog has not been updated since 01/21/2005. (01/01/07)

Beginning, Final Chapter

This is definetly a blog in its first stages, but more importantly its a blog with potential. Since author, Variegated Iris, just started today and pulled out two well-done, entertaining posts, I thought I'd keep an eye on how things go. I got a kick out of the references to Little Bunny Foo-Foo. And the solitaire...If you don't get what I'm talking about, you should go read the blog. ^.^

Enough To Go By

Update: Blog not found on database. (01/01/07)

Enough To Go By

Most definetly an insightful site. If you're looking for a quote a day, this is a great place to go. I especially love the Judith Viorst quote on the 11th ("Enjoy the Silence"). Author, Garrr, posts regularly and keeps things pretty mellow. In fact, its one of the few "mellow" sites I enjoy. Maybe its the quotes and pics that do it, maybe I just like it. Go see for yourself.

Planet Potato - an Irish Blog

Update: Blog not found on database (01/01/07)

Planet Potato - an Irish Blog

I found a whole host of great Irish bloggers, but Planet Potato's author has written two scathingly hilarious pieces (with more to come) entitled "Retarded Dating Advice Vols. 1 and 2." Everyone should read them. I adore the slang I don't understand (that I really want to understand) and the posts are lots of fun to read. I also highly recommend reading "Fancy a Screwdriver Love?" while your at it.

idle thoughts of an idle fellow

Update: Unfortunately, I can't find Steve's page anywhere, and his old comments come up as "Anonymous." (01/01/07)

idle thoughts of an idle fellow

This one of my favorite pages so far. Steve - the idle fellow - has a blissfully active mind (or maybe he just has someone feeding him awesome ideas) and I've enjoyed every post I've read. Also, I like the fact that he lives across a couple of oceans; it's always very refreshing to hear about life (general, political, anything) from the international perspective. I hope to get a mix of sites posted. Maybe I'll even go for at least 10 sites from every continent. ^.^ We'll see how that goes...In the meantime, go read Steve's idle thoughts. They're great.

    Great. Now I'll get performance anxiety. I'll be back using performance enhancing drugs (caffeine) before you know it.

    Seriously, thanks for your comments. I'm putting you on my blogroll. Great idea about linking to interesting sites you find. Usually when I hit the "next blog" button I end up with nothing very interesting.

    Lol. Don't worry about the caffine; you rock just the way you are.
