My Blog Referrals

It's been awhile (months?) since I've found new blogs to add to my daily reading, but this week I was referred to three different new obsessions by friends, friends of friends or just serendipitous happenstance. And of course, they're all entertainment based. Ch-ch-check 'em out:

Couchtime

- A detailed go-to guide for some of my favorite shows including my current obsession 'The Amazing Race'. Fun, light and with a point of view eerily similar to mine, blogger Jill's weekly recap of individual episodes (and events) is a must read.

He Who Laughs

- Combining love for theatre, television and film, blogger Isaac already has a cult following large enough to start his own theatrical event (and did!). Injecting sarcasm and hilarity in every entry, the short format blog (my favorite kind) will no doubt continue to be part of my daily read.

Running From Camera

- A simple photography concept. Pressing the 2-second timer on a digital camera and then running away from it as fast as you can! Genius! While inspiring fan entries, the original "hit and run" lenser still does it best.

My Return To High School

Added a new entry to BK Southie about my return to Midwood High School. You know what? It wasn't as painful as I thought it was going to be. Go check it out.

My Blogging Contribution

It was a privileged when Brian over at BK Southie asked me contribute to his blog about life on this side of Brooklyn. After some time to prepare and contemplate my first entry, I've finally made my mark. So go do me and Brian a favor and clickity-click-click. 

My No Excuse For Not Blogging

I've been lazy. That can the combination of some personal family crisis and going ons, I've failed to blog. I couldn't think of a better excuse not to return after a month off to reveal my Peterio Movie Awards. To top it off, one of my cohorts started releasing his winners, so I might as well do them simultaneously for your comparing pleasures.

My Day Of Rest

I'm taking the day off to enjoy the sun. Check out the blogs on the side instead- particularly the fanfare for 'The Dark Knight' from Eisentower30 and The Part Time Critic.

My Frugal Traveler

Ever since I've decided to go to Europe for vacation earlier this summer, I've been gathering tips from various Europeans I know and looking over "must do" attractions from different places. The one thing I've following closely is Matt, the Frugal Europe Traveler over at New York Times. The guy manages to spend under $125 a day, and that's including lodging! My personal favorite so far is his Rome entry. Not only does he grant the little things to do for cheap there, he also manages to navigate you to those places from main attractions such as the Coliseum. 

As August 1st, my take-off date, approaches, I'll be sure to get reading more on what Matt is upto over there in Europe and see if he'll hit anymore spots I know I'd be going once I get there. (NYT)
