Thursday Thirteen #11


Thirteen Great Websites For Slacking

1. Facebook: You can get lost for hours on this thing. The following quote expresses it pretty well: "If AIM is a gateway drug, Facebook is internet crack."

2. YouTube: pretty much anything you want - it's there. Also, archived footage at thedailyshow.com

3. Overheard in New York: hilariously real!

4. Ebaums World: Ridiculous things (albinoblacksheep.com is good too).

5. Addicting Games: I'm a fan of the puzzles and the helicopter game.

6. Recovering Frat Boy: He publishes a bimonthly column.

7. Wikipedia: You can get severely sidetracked by clicking on links in the middle of articles. As a friend said, "Wikipedia is like alcohol. You start into it, wake up a few hours later, and can't remember how you got there." You can play the "Jesus Game." Either click "Random article" on the left hand column, or go to a random page yourself. See how few clicks it takes to get to Jesus.

8. College Humor: fairly ridiculous and sometimes funny articles.

9. LOL Catz: Sooo juvenile but sometimes hilarious.

10. The New York Times: If you want to do something a little more refined (or you want people to think you are sophisticated when they look over your shoulder), NYT has great articles, photo slideshows, and videos on tons of topics.

11. Memes: You're probably familiar ;)

12. Google: There are so many games and funny things to do with google. One option:
put in the searchbar:
Your Name needs
Your Name looks like
...does
...hates
...goes
...loves
...eats
...has
...will

13. prettymuchanything.blogspot.com: Like wiki, one can spend hours surfing blogs by following blogrolls.

I slack off with Adventure Quest, Kingdom of Loathing and Neopets (though NP has gone downhill since it was bought out). I also play PC games, mostly city building. I am a complete Flickr addict too.

i kind of tend to (my bad) not go to blogspot.com blogs coz i can't usually comment because they don't have the Name/URL option for me to enter my info... makes us people with 'websites' feel all left out n' lonely :( boo hoooo :)
