Help. So bored. No class last week, this week or next week. Redecorated class room. Made lesson plans for half of next semester. Organized papers. Ugh

Things like kottke.org, reddit, metafilter, waxy.org etc etc greatly appreciated, Kongregate.com stuff also nice.

Wikipedia - for looking at random stuff
erowid.org - To read bad experiences people had with various drugs
harpers.org - Good articles worth reading from time to time

90% of the time, I just stick around here.  On occasion, I like to go back and read threads from 2006 and 2007.

Sometimes I go to Amazon to find movies I don't know about and add them to my wishlist.

I never understand how people spend more than like 5 or 10 minutes on Facebook. Youn say hi to Jimmy, you send a quick to message to Laura, look at some pics and then uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I probably don't spend much time on facebook, but I habitually load the front page pretty much any time I have an extra minute and can't immediately think of anything else to do.  I think the lure is that it updates every couples minutes or so with something new, whether it's something directed at you, someone posting a link, or just someone talking about how their dog's cock turned purple and needs to go to the vet or whining about the snowmegeddon. 

It's sort of like how back in the day you might habitually check all of the away messages on your AIM buddy list every couple minutes, even when you really didn't give a shit about what those people were doing.  Facebook is the modern version of that thoughtless information accumulation.  Twitter too.

chat?

If only the chat client weren't so gimped. It's already by far the most useful thing out there. It's the only chat client that ALL my friends/relatives use. For many people, it's the only chat client they know how to use.

evilbore - of course
Something Awful
Seahawks.net if I want to get depressed
YouTube - another obvious choice
ESPN


Back in the olden days when the internet was run by hamster wheels and rubberbands, I used to go to Portal of Evil and Old Man Murray all the time.....but that was another era.  Portal of Evil was such an awesome site back in the heyday when distinguished mentally-challenged fellows everywhere were scrambling to make their Geocities and Angelfire manifestos.  People just couldn't get enough of that fire.gif or the drippingblood.gif.  POE is a shadow of its former self.  It was the Something Awful before Something Awful.

I guarantee there are people out there that have never used anything else. Why bother installing an irritating client that you have to update and add contacts to manually when all your friends are just there on Facebook in any browser or phone? Probably the same for the Facebook email too. It's gimped as fuck but still massively useful.

I hate that I can't pop the window out. Most of my FB chats go "Are you on GChat?" "Yes, I'll message you there"
