Linkage!

Arrgh! Long time no post, peoples. Sorry about that _ heartbreak will do that do a body. I'd prefer not to blog about it at the moment _ but thanks to all my friends for helping me get through this very rough time.

Anyhoo, this one is all about fun links _ just right for a rainy Tuesday, eh? ("Eh" is included for my loyal Canadian reader.)

http://www.themorningnews.org/
An online magazine with a well-chosen and succint list of links on the right side of its homepage. A few top news stories, some cool regional ones, and some just fun and weird ones. Usually has a link to a cool mp3 or video every day, too. Plus, their staff writers _ especially Todd Levin _ are wonderful.

A hilarious blog by a former Daily Show writer and very funny comedian, Chris Regan. Especially good on Mondays for the "Monday Morning Cup of Hot, Steaming Mythstorical Perspective".

All cupcakes, all the time. Lovely gooey food porn.

A classic; I look at this one when life is really getting me down. They're all about offering "an overwhelming amount of cuteness to fill your daily visual allowance". So true.

OK, this one is more of a service-type link -- but it's a great site and you can sign up for the newsletter that covers all of the NYC-area airports. They monitor the airlines’ hidden fare wars and unadvertised, short-lived sales and “fat finger" typo fares.

Great all-around NYC site -- different entries cover news, weather, restaurants, theater, and just general happenings.
