Thursday bloghop #13
Sorry for skipping the last two weeks but now Thursday bloghopping is back!
1. Lynn's always interesting A Sweet Familiar Dissonance starts off today with a witty piece on breakfast and food labels. (She likes ginger, too!) She includes a quotation from Aaron Copland on eating in France that puzzles me since it contradicts every one of own experiences (I was served butter and wine without any difficulty at all and, for goodness sake, who invented café au lait?!). She always does what my favorite blogs do, namely, get me involved and talking (to myself, often!). She's got more links listed than anyone on earth, I'm quite sure, so visiting her is always an opportunity to expand one's blog reading and viewing since she unearths many quirky and/or photo blogs as well as more "regular" ones. And her own photos are wonderful, by the way, although too infrequent.
2. The link to Amy on the Web caught my attention because I am fond of the name "amy". She's a medieval literature specialist and a writer by profession. Even so, she apparently did the tech work on her site by herself (good job!). The content is fun stuff and definitely worth checking out. Today's post on cemetery symbols is fascinating (even if she does misspell "cemetery" -oops). She's an admitted quiz fan so there are lots of those, and she loves cats so there are many links to photogenic fur people. Entirely unexpectedly, she links to a Victor Borge sketch on YouTube, which is marvelous of course. Her high silliness is worth return visits all by itself.
3. Rebecca's Pocket has been around since 1999 yet this was my first visit. Its proprietor is a writer, journalist and speaker who clearly knows her blogging stuff and has a slew of interests about which she writes prolifically. A perfect example is her page on all things domestic is compendious and ranges from cleaning to designing to health and nutrition to shopping and spending. I was about to nitpick that many of her links are out-of-date when I came up her disclaimer to that effect, so just be forewarned. There are alternative medicine and animal protection references, and another whole page devoted to gaia and various subtopics. It's quite a place and will require hours and hours to digest entirely.
