ICYMI
Oh it was an exciting week on the internet.
I found a blog that is a whole lot of fun.
I found some posts on good writing and what you have to practice to get there.
I found funny funny stuff from my teen boy.
This week's In Case You Missed It, though I should call it "Why I Love The Internet."
Hope you all had a good weekend.
In Case You Missed It (good stuff from the internet)
--Key & Peele: East/West College Bowl. Hilarious, hilarious, hilarious. My teen son showed this clip to me and we have laughed about 16 times since I first saw it Friday night. This sketch-comedy duo are one of Patton Oswalt's favorites and Obama's, too. They were able to meet the President and their take away on that cracked me up, "He gave us bro hugs."
--The Random Penguins is a blog that I found when I followed someone home from twitter. I Miss You When I Blink has some mad twitter skills, and so I went to see where she lives on the internet. Bowled over is what I was when I saw she is the author of an impish "Daily Penguin" tumblr. She draws these little penguins, solitary figures, that she's animorphed into Taylor Swift, or The Penguin who sells Stella & Dot. Of course there's a drunk penguin. I've put in my request for Sophia Vergara. You'll love it--it's adorable.
--Again, from tumblr. I really don't get tumblr yet BUT I have been finding so much on there. (If someone knows how I comment on tumblr, can you let me know?) So, this post I found by "chaperoned," called Quick and Dirty Tips For Writing. It's awesome. Complete and succinct and keep it forever. Chaperoned's Quick and Dirty Guide To Improving Your Writing.
--From a blogger I discovered in October, thenester. She writes anonymously, which is probably why she writes so from the soul. There is a post on her site, all about not waiting for the next thing to make you happy, but making where you are right now happy. The Nesting Place and This Is Your House--Is It Who You Want It To Be? (I love following her, though it is hard to not know someone--I love her content.)
Have a great week. December flies by, remember to grab some joy.

ReplyDeleteHappy Monday. Love the links! xo
ReplyDeleteHi, T: there was some great stuff. I limit my links to 4, but everything up there: exceptional.
DeleteI love the internet.
I adore it when smart-funny people do all the work of scouring the internet... and I can just follow the links.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the penguin love, too!
I stalk the nester as much as I stalk you. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't really understand Tumblr either. Although I think you have to have an account there to comment - unless they have Disqus installed, and then anyone can comment. I wish someone would do a great Tumblr tutorial.
ReplyDeleteThose penguins are crazy awesome!!
That one from Quick and Dirty should come with a warning label. All that flashing gave me a headache. Someone tell that chick to turn off the Adobe Flash! Yikes! Still, the content was good. Thanks for these other links. I've been lurking, still feeling pretty locked up regarding LTYM.
ReplyDeleteI've been a fan of Key and Peele's for about 100 years. I send their youtubes to all my friends. They are hilarious. One of my favorites is when they're up for a slave auction. This is a perfect example of taking something that many people would find "taboo" and making it so funny you can't help but laugh.
