News: The Yelping Crowd

It’s a day for new blogs all around.  Maybe it’s the Eternal September in all of us.

My disdain for tumblr isn’t quite up there with Twitter, but it’s close.  Perhaps it’s the ADHD-glorified format, the vomitsplatter of self-glorified shutins, the slavering mass of unlistening gristle reblogging in a vile spew of barelywatched media crap, but I think it’s a hallmark of a new social nihilism.  I mean, I kinda wrote a whole book about this.  Anyways, that’s my explanation for why I’ve been revisiting my old account at doombabble and holding the ugliest of mirrors up to that wreck of language.  Most likely I’ll get bored with this whole experiment in a week and move on to something else like that zombie epic I need to figure out.  It’s disposable like the rest.

If you’re actually in the mood for someone with quality taste, may I direct you to angelmeat, the gorgeous fledgling blog of my LJ friend who dragged me back into tumblr-ing (that’s a word)?  Seriously, if you’re going to follow someone, go with her.  I’m a mess; she’s all poise.

And in the vein of LJ friends, (I told you it was the season for new blogs!), my friend hellaine has started a blog specifically for her pastlife stories as a professional groupie and you should totally read it.  And this comes from the guy who doesn’t care much for memoirs and true-life stories.  Check it out.

Is that it?  Anybody else make a blog out there while I wasn’t looking?
