So, I’ve got a long weekend coming up and not much on the books, which I’m looking forward to! If you find yourself bored, you might think about checking out some of the sites below for a little distraction. A big sorry to the boys on here who might roll their eyes at about half of these.

• Picture of the Day
• 27b/6 (I gots a lotta catching up to do, but this guy is my new hero. As my brother put it, “He must spend 67 percent of his day conspiring to be a sarcastic asshole. I wish I had a third of his skill.”)
• dlisted (if you’re easily offended, you might skip this one. If you’re not, you’re welcome.)
• Pintrest, You Are Drunk (my mouth drops open on much of what I see on here.)
• Daily Odd Compliment (oh, if this kid weren’t 12 years younger than me…)
• Zodiac Facts (cuz I always learn something new.)
• Black and WTF? (some of the coolest/creepiest/oddest stuff out there.)
• Messy Nessy (so many odd, awesome articles and links.)

Have a great weekend!

I’ve recently come across a few sites that keep me going back.

1. Maddie the Coonhound cracks me up. I’m pretty sure most of these photos are the real deal, which makes this dog very talented and patient, but there are a few that seem like they might be Photoshopped. Either way, I think this site is pretty inventive. This is my favorite:
   
2. Moment Junkie is a site where a group of photographers take entries from other photographers who have captured stunning moments. Most of these are from weddings. Some of the shots are so breathtaking in their humanity, composition, and emotion.
3. Anna Utopia Giordano is an Italian artist who created a really interesting project by modernizing old paintings of Venus using Photoshop. Essentially, she applies our current ideals of a woman’s body (slim with big boobs) to these paintings to show how things have shifted. It’s pretty interesting to look at.
