Celebrity Cola
Celebrity Cola is (as quoted from the subtitle) "A slipshod guide to the universe. A weblog with issues. And uncarbonated news & reviews, straight from the can." Lucas Brachish from New York writes this blog and his profile gives his occupation as "Agitator. Editor. Insomniac." I love profiles that make me laugh.
The first impression is a good one with a very simple design and color scheme. The author's insomnia shows when you see the times he posts (2 AM and the like). Most of his posts tend to be a bit long, but don't get me wrong--they are an enjoyable read, quite humorous and often insightful.
What brings this blog down is the way he lists and categorizes his writings. It's frenzied at best. In his sidebar he lists "Table of Contents" and it has (I think) every post he's ever written, listed by title. (Very long titles) At the bottom of the main page is something called "Celebrity Cola, by the Glass" with more links to old posts. Are these the same ones you have to scroll to see in the sidebar? It's hard to say.
With such good writing and interesting stories, I'd like to see them presented better in archival form. Sure, the titles of his posts are all very entertaining in themselves, but for a blog, they look clunky presented as they are. However, I would definitely recommend this blog for those wanting a good way to spend some time.

Celebrity Cola was a blog that I had no idea what to expect from. Initial loading of the site let me know that it was on blogger, the template is nice on the eyes, with a whitish background with the text over the top. One thing I don't like about blogger is the way it lists the entries without actually archiving categorically, it makes for hard reading if you want to read other entries.
The general topic area of this blog covers a big range of subjects. There's an entry that outlines various places to download mp3's for example. There are a few entries’ that held my attention, but that's the problem with news/entertainment/political blogs. I just don't find that they have enough to keep me reading.
Celebrity Cola has one author, there is no about link that has much information so you don't really know anything about the author, only that he resides in New York. This blog I believe has a vast audience range, the blogger has unique links that aren't from the usual news feeds. If you like news/entertainment blogs then feel free to check this one out!
