Thursday bloghop #6
1. Began at Regular Life, introduced with Emerson's statement that "Life consists of what a man is thinking of all day," a lovely conceit for the author's reflections. The steadily staring owl and the adorable boy are alluring, and the various essays are always interesting. There's humor and insight, true feeling and lots of adventures with his family. One feels one is visiting an old dear friend.
2. Jumped to I am a Cheeseburger because it reminded me of the magnificent young adult book, I Am the Cheese (have you read it?). This blog is written by a self-described "verbose and profane idiot living in Canada, spinning yarns and peeing time" which sounds pretty self-serving to me (heh). Apparently he writes stories and pulp scifi novels about robots and spaceships, for a living, one presumes, in addition to those that are spun on the site. Quite entertaining and worth the visit.
3. To Poppy Cedes which is written by a techie woman who is passionate about cats and cheese, so she's clearly on the top of my personal list. I presume she knows - owns, no doubt - the first Wallace and Grommit movie wherein they take a "cheese vacation" to the moon? Since she likes Britcoms, I wonder if she realizes that there are actually brochures and planned cheese holidays in the U.K., something that delights me, I must say, even if they don't go to the moon. Yet. Her posts are amusing and quirky and her reading ranges from Camus to Blume, and Groundhog Day and The Office are in her list of favorite movies, so she is someone I would probably like even though she liked The Da Vinci Code.
4. Next to Grenouille Plus because I love the French word for frog (almost as much as the word for umbrella - parapluie). There's not a single word spoken here as it's all images. This blogger has other sites, too: Des Chapeaux (replete with hat images), Le Ramoneur de Bourg (chimney sweeper images), and Agence eureka (images of all kinds of things, perhaps surprising juxtapositions). They're idiosyncratic and quite appealing.
5. On to The Crime in Your Coffee, unable to resist the title and curious to know if it refers to evil deeds or caffeine. Which I still don't know because, problem is, this one's in German and for me that's prohibitive. So back to Poppy Cedes and on to Potatoes in the Mist which is a nifty surprise. Today's cupcake and brownie pictures are so clear that I feel as if I had too much dessert. Bearette has begun knitting (congratulations!!) and her seed stitches look quite nice. This is one of those personal blogs and it's quite enjoyable. I look forward to more, I must say.
Which is all there is for now. Have a hoppy week!! :)
