For Your Reading Pleasure
As many of you freakazoids are aware, when Dr. Ding goes, she goes big. Witness my past forays into yoga, Avon Breast Cancer Walk fundraising, vegetable cutting, and hurricane-induced fuckery. So when I find a blog or website that catches my fancy* I tend to overdo just a tad.
If you’re up my especial brand of seeming randomness, check out these gems.
Up Popped A Fox: This is my friend and former housemate and former rugby teammate Vikki’s blog. She was a founding member of The Lesbian Avengers, and actually wore a cape and scaled buildings and stuff. She’s awesomesauce.
[Sidenote--today at work I was walking down the hall, swinging my trusty clipboard while whistling a jaunty tune, when suddenly I realized that I'm going to name the next dog I own Bungholio. It was a stunning realization and will probably have far-reaching geopolitical repercussions.]
I Has A Hotdog: If loving LOLspeak-captioned photos of dogs is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.
Dr. Miggy’s Healthy Blog For Busy Folks On Tight Budgets: Oh my gentle GirlJesus™ people. I wish I had read this before I went on that Elimination Diet last year. The tagline from this slice of recession-friendly genuis pie? “Get healthy, stay healthy, don’t go crazy, don’t go broke.” Oh Dr. Miggy. You had me at don’t go crazy.
Awkward Family Photos: I have to stop coming here because I find the photographs incredibly disturbing, and yet I cannot look away. Compelling weirdness, wrapped in frosted denim and apparently featuring a lot of budding serial killers-to-be. Yet somehow heartwarming.
The Malefactor’s Register: A true-crime blog, spanning some of the weirdest cases of the last century. The writing and formatting kinda blows, but the stories themselves are fascinating.
PLASTICLAND: Offbeat, kitschy, vintage and highly nifty clothing and baubles. And crafts and jewelry. If you’re plus-sized, be sure to check out the dresses.
*I caught my fancy on a cactus in 9th grade biology class and let me tell you, it’s really something.

Awesomesauce with a side of curly awesomes.
Dear Dr. Ding,
Thank you for recommending my blog. I could not help noticing, however, that you mentioned “Bungholio” right after. I’m torn between worrying that I make you think of assholes and feeling flattered to have served as inspiration. I will add this to my file of Mysteries of the Universe.
Sincerely,

Well, I’d wondered where your path had crossed with the Lesbian Avenger and now it all makes sense. I forget that ‘neath your pink-sequined façade beats the heart of take-no-prisoners rugby player.
By god, I’m going to make me a cape. One for you too. Maybe a Lesbian Defender cape. Something sparkly.
Vikki-
Let me assure you, the Bungholio reference was completely random. In fact, I didn’t even notice until you mentioned its proximity to the better third of Mock, Smite & Snarkington! My bad.
Epiphenita-
I am very excited about your cape-making. Perhaps you’d do a segment on your Chron.com blog?
Ding! So glad you have returned to the blogosphere after your little break. I feel like a douche typing “blogsphere” btw. Thanks for the shout out. You elimination diet posts were some of my favorites. Any post with flatus as a theme wins hands down for me.
tootles!
Heee heheheheh!
She said “tootles”!
I loves me some Dr. Miggy.
