And you thought this was just a music blog.
Waiting for weekly updates isn't something that I find particularly up my street. I get obsessive and I like to go all out, read the whole archive in a few days if I can. This is fine with a two or three year-old blog, a bit more of a problem when the site is TV Tropes (two months and I still have ten+ tabs of the blasted site in both my home and uni browsers at any given time).
Some columns hold up to this better than others, reading about the life of a female adult-video-store clerk for three days was great, Charlie Brooker's Screenburn started out fascinating and rapidly degenerated into canned whinging around the time he started writing a lifestyle column (Charlie Brooker: Now in a low-fat, zero-interesting-content variety. All the puerile humour and fruitless rage, none of the pesky insightful commentary.)
So I'm going to occasionally post links to blogs I'm trawling and think might interest folk. Here we have Gaijin Smash; a black American teaching English in Japan. I'm liking the cultural insight, what actual Japanese kids are like as opposed to the anime/JRPG cliches, and that the guy is a little bit of a dick. Not an arsehole or anything, just a little snarkier than he has to be.
