Internet Wanderings

So, I'm pretty sure that most of you have a tumblr, or at least find yourself sometimes wandering through random places on the internet (those deep recesses of the web that you sometimes wonder about the sanity of the person who created them...). I know I have, and I love tumblr as a creative outlet. Recently, I've found some awesome tumblr and non-tumblr blogs and websites, so I figured that the Dungeon Diaries would be a great place to post them if any of you are interested or just want to waste some time on the internet.


http://www.googlepoetics.com/
A tumblr blog in which Google search is an excellent poet (and some of them are truly beautiful!), and which kind of makes me feel inferior to a search machine in terms of poetry...?


http://www.aseaofquotes.com/
This is one of my favorite blogs - every day they post new quotes, and they have an excellent archive where you can search via book, author, or keyword. The quotes are hauntingly beautiful and always relevant.


http://www.npr.org/blogs/pictureshow/
This link goes to NPR for "The Picture Show", which features primarily photo stories. It is a really neat place to get some last-minute inspiration or just a deep thought.


http://instagram.com/samhaseyebrows/#
For those of you with instagram, I highly recommend checking this out (especially if you enjoy cats, eyebrows, or just a good laugh every day). He looks so worried and it is really great.


http://other-wordly.tumblr.com/
Otherworldly is a tumblr blog that is really fascinating to me as a writer - it gives obscure/beautiful/interesting words, and gives the origin and definition of each. Some are from different languages or different times, but each is unique in their own way.


http://www.humansofnewyork.com/
Lastly, I'm sure most of you have heard about this blog - Humans of New York, in which a photographer captures exactly that. If you haven't heard of it, at least check it out. For our class, I think we could look at the questions he asks them as a tool - they are really insightful, and provoke a quote from the subject that reveals so much.


Hopefully some of you found those interesting, and let me know if you have any blogs that you particularly love!
