Internet Lackary
I don’t know how the gossip mags are making out in these times with the stiff competition they’re getting from the blogs. I for one not spending a cent on the slackness when I can get it for free online. It’s no secret that print is suffering, while I’ll still buy fashion magazine (despite my reservations about them) gossip mags just can’t get any play from me.
Why? Let me list my reasons for you:
My Paper Anniversary of Blogging
I’ve just completed one year as a blogger. My first blog was called GoodFaith, but I couldn’t keep up with 2 blogs, so I cancelled it and moved those posts here.
The Body Politic
It’s so great in the media wilderness to come across a beauty who brakes the mold. I’ve listed a few of them. Use them as inspiration; especially when you’re having one of your feeling “Less then cute” moments.
What’s Up?
OK I been slacking and I apologise. But it’s been a hectic week at work. But I’ve been hitting the Twitter pretty hard. So follow me, for a little dose of what I’m doing when I’m not blogging. And if following is way too much commitment (ha). Just stop by my blog and check out my twitter feed.
But I’ve started a lovely 4 day weekend, so expect a new post soon. But now I’ve got to go and do my hair.
I’m Such a Twit
Sigh I’ve caved and joined the Twitter revolution. So follow me, my handle is YouCouldBelieve, for the mini-version of this blog. Sigh, between this blog, polyvore and Twitter, I’m slowly turning into a computer nerd.
Internetting
That’s a word my mother made-up to describe what she was doing on the computer. So instead of surfing the web, she’d say she’s “internetting”.
Anyway just wanted to share some of the best stuff I read online this past week.
Why Do I Still Care About Fashion?
I read a lot of great articles today while surfing the web. Most of them about fashion, but by the time I was done I was wondering: why the hell do I still care about fashion? I’m not talking about Old Navy to Banana Republic type of fashion, but the high-end couture making, $1000 shoe type of fashion. Why do I still care about it?
More and more it seems to be a bastion of irredeemable awfulness, all wrapped up in the latest designer must have.
Web Round-Up
OK it’s an old post, but it’s new to me; Shahrzad has a post about the most beautiful mosques in the World and the images are breathtaking. I don’t even know if I could pick a favourite from the list but the Jamia Mosque in Kenya and the Al Fateh Grand Mosque in Qatar are right up there. But my emotional favourite is the mosque in Trinidad and Tobago, it’s in La Joya right by the main road and I see it all the time. It’s nice to have someone to remind me of its beauty.
And because it’s Thursday, Afrobella did a Throwback Thursday’s post about Trini music (the best kind). I loved it, I was humming “Mi Lover” for the rest of the day. Actually I have Lord Nelson’s finest as my ringtone; makes me smile anytime I hear it.
On Easter Sunday, the Trinidad Guardian wrote about the dwindling membership in the local Catholic Church. That they printed the article on Easter Sunday I have a bit of an issue with, but the article makes for good discussion.
But before you get all depressed about the faith read Melissa Patterson’s conversion story and feel a little better about the future of the Church.
Happy Reading!
Christian Bale on Batman movie and Heath Ledger.
I was watching Christian Bale’s interview on The Today Show this morning and thought he had some really insightful comments on Heath Ledger’s death and the stresses of his role.
I have to say that I agree with him. It seems to me that assumption is an oversimplification of Ledger’s death.
What Faith Are You?
BeliefNet.com is a blog on religion and spiritual issues that I love. I found this really great quiz that tests what you believe. I tested 100% Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic. What did you test? You can do the test here.
