Awful Library Books: A Blog Review

I like libraries. I like the obsolete card catalogs and the unnatural quiet. I like the dewey decimal system despite being shit with numbers. I like that you can borrow movies for free even though I have never done this. I just like the fact that you can. Unfortunately, public libraries aren't known for being the most up-to-date organizations.

Awful Library Books is a blog I found which focuses on whether certain tomes should be purged from the shelves. It's not about censorship, rather, it's a tongue-in-cheek look at books that are old-fashioned, outdated, or just plain odd.

Here is an example: Crafts for Retarded.

So many things to say about this one, I don't even know where to begin... the title? The swastika-decorated "Indian" tom tom?

Happy reading!

Welcome to 2000 and Late: A Blog Review

Wow, I've actually fulfilled my idle promise to update this thing today.  I might need a lie down from the shock.

I'm a bit behind with this whole blogging thing.  Apparently people have been blogging on the Internet* for a while now, but I just recently started to take it seriously.  I've been filling up my Google Reader with blogs that I've found or that friends have recommended and I'll be writing up little reviews of them here from time to time.

I'll start with Portraits as Living Deads, which I mentioned a few posts back.  This blog is the brainchild (ha ha) of Frederik Peeters, a French guy who does drawings of celebrities as zombies.  His work is carefully done and really captures the essence of the subject.  Unfortunately, he stopped posting in May, but it's still worth checking out.  Look for footy fan favorites Zizou (Zinedine Zidane) and Man Ho (Cristiano Ronaldo).

*I refuse to say things like "blogosphere."

Ambition.

I am going to try to make something of this blog, maybe post some reviews of something or other.

However, that will have to start tomorrow, because I can't be bothered to do anything right now.
