Does LiveJournal count? How about topical comedy programmes on BBC Radio? I keep meaning to pay more attention to the real news in the world, but mostly I'm letting other people do the filtering for me. Instead of following the latest stories, I spend much of the day in bed reading old books--or at least trying to read books, then giving up and daydreaming a while because the weather has finally decided to be summery and the heat is melting my brain.
In other news(?), I am still leading a dull and boring life, largely due to my body's decision that it has been too long since I last lost consciousness involuntarily. At least it still has the decency to give me advance warning so I can find a soft place to land. So yeah, haven't done much interesting lately because it's been so hard to find the energy. Major events of last week: Going to the library, where I smiled and waved at a couple of former housemates; watching a clan of Canada geese at a nearby pond; being startled by a turkey(!) wandering between yards a couple blocks from here (chickens are not all that uncommon, but the turkey is new); going to a farmers market. I'm already nearly out of fresh cherry tomatoes and oak leaf lettuce, but there's plenty of smoked jalapeño cheddar cheese left yet.

Now I also use The Daily Dish, Enduring America (two excellent blogs covering Iran and other news), and... Twitter.
