When I was waiting for this site to load up, for some reason I thought it was going to be a site with the theme of Radiohead/Thom Yorke because of the title and all. However, I did a quick scroll down the page and noticed the reoccurring theme of a Dave Foley/”News Radio”/ “Kids In The Hall” fan instead.
The site’s run by Jessica; at teenage girl living in New York. I really like how she altered one of Blogger’s templates and made it with different shades of blue.
She has some links to other blogs and of course links to, “Kids In The Hall,” “Dave Foley,” and “News Radio.” I also liked that with her obsession with Dave Foley that despite the fact many might find it weird, nerdy or dorky, she doesn’t care and that’s the great thing about blogs is you can express whatever it is you like and don’t like and you don’t have to alter your tastes because someone doesn’t like it.
As I was reading her site, she was talking about stuff she was going to go watch and remember how back in high school I used to have more time to watch tv. It took me back to those days when you plopped in front of the tv and watched marathons of your favorite shows or watched your favorite movies and you sat there for 6 hours.
I found her random, out-of-nowhere comments funny since it reminded me of talking with someone that just randomly blurting out weird thoughts that have nothing to do with anything at the moment:
“People are so f#&king stupid. Not you.”
“Ben Affleck eats Bugles. You know…..the little cone-shaped corn chips…..never mind.”
Her blog mainly has to do with her joy and love of Dave Foley and anything associated with it. She also talks about her friends and sometimes her work and just random stuff and puts links to stuff she’s come across. I got the feeling from reading her site that she seemed to always be in a pretty good mood about things. This is one site where I don’t feel like the writer completely comes off like they’re in high school. No, “Oh my gwad, can you believe that? She so stupid! I’m never talking to her again!!!!” I’m so glad I didn’t read any high school drama.
I like her writing and her posts are interesting so I’d suggest dropping by and check out her up to date website on Dave, it’s quite interesting.paranoid.android

Simply Lee did not stray very far from the tried-and-true formula for a personal weblog site, but it was more solid and well-kept than many I have seen.
I often enjoy reading sites that are maintained by people over the age of 25, as this one is. There are very few of these sites out there. Such sites have a way of bringing a fresh perspective to the Internet, which is usually dominated by teenagers and 20-somethings.
The weblog entries in Simply Lee never delved too deep into personal issues or topics the average reader would not care about. In fact, many posts were one or two lines long, yet they still seemed to be long enough to be relevant or interesting. I found a good number of funny items, and left feeling that I had learned a little about the author’s clever personality.
As stated above, the site clung to the basic weblog recipe, except for the page that contained actual recipes. I found that page to be a unique suprise. The design of the site was very simple, which often gets good marks in my book, but it was so simple that it verged on being boring. A few more well-placed colors or images would not hurt at all.
If you want to see a weblog that throws out all of the obnoxious things a weblog should not be, but implements the basic elements of what a weblog should be, stop by Simply Lee.simply Lee

It’s a common tradition to have soup when you’re sick and have a cold or just are home being lazy on a cold day. There are a ton of different kinds of soup from the classic chicken noodle to vegetable to beef stew to pea soup. “The Joy of Soup” is a weblog dedicated to soup and everything associated with it. The Soup Lady runs the site and since the site is fairly new, it looks like it will be a tasty site.
The site’s layout is your basic Blogger template which is okay. But go beyond that, her site’s pretty informative. She posts about soup in the news, like a little story about Campbell’s soup now being offered at McDonald’s. There’s something you don’t hear about everyday. But it makes me wonder if there will be a lawsuit about someone getting soup and spilling it on themselves and claiming the soup was too hot?
You’ll also find recipes for soups, I mean how can you not have a soup site that doesn’t have recipes? So far she has baked potato, cabbage and a few others. I noticed she also posted a reader’s recipe for sauerkraut soup. When I began reading the ingredients for some of the different soups, it got me all hungry for a nice, hot bowl of soup.
She also discussed some different cooking books which she has and what she liked about them. And as strange as I found it since I don’t regularly cook or even open a cookbook, I found this amusing when she was discussing one book she had,
“Aside from the intriguing recipes, the amount of information contained in the book is astonishing. The stench of junior high Home Ecomonics [sic] hangs heavy here as the difference between a hot oven and a quick oven is explained.”
I have no idea what the difference if between a hot and a quick oven.
She later notes there are chapters which discuss specifically carving and pickling. How many pages can you go on about just pickling??
The site also includes some handy links to refer to if you want to know more about soups and other types of food and recipes.
I liked this site not only because it’s helpful to those who like cooking but of course to those who LIKE TO EAT! There are definitely some useful sites and information which anyone who enjoys cooking would like. Plus it’s just plain interesting. This site will definitely get you craving for a bowl of hot soup of whatever flavor your little heart desires. I’m quite tempted now to go into the kitchen and make my myself some soup!
Soup, I must say is a very underrated food.The Joy of Soup

The weblog itself is just your average weblog. Someone venting to the world, the things they need to vent about. In the case of Kacroon, she vents about stopping smoking (not quitting, just stopping) and her Robot dog.
The posts about her dog are rather interesting, as I have wondered what Aibo could really do. He is still a puppy and hasn’t done much yet.
One post I found to be really interesting was this one:
I am addicted to surfing blogs and reading others blogs…..
So many are so young though…..
Well her’s is still young too. As I have stated before, young can become great weblogs in time. This site will develop into something wonderful, it will just take the time to do it.

Wow. What a site. The design on this site is intense. So much is crammed into a small space, but organized so well at the same time. The author of this site has a good writing style and writes mainly about things in his life that are well just fcuked as he would say. Very enjoyable read and very well designed site.fcuker.com
