Perhaps it was the weather or maybe it was because 2008 is already so far underway. Maybe it was the fact that I spent my Monday last week as though I were an Au Pair for a pair of terrors I like to call the munchkins… either way, it appears my gloom and doom funk last week wasn’t confined to just me. I ran across a lot of other bloggers who suffered the same “I don’t wanna” issues I did. Gorilla Sushi battled back by posting some videos making fun of Tom Cruise.

It does appear though that its more widespread than just the blogging world. According to the UK Daily Mail last monday was the gloomiest day of the year. They blamed it on the holidays being over and the bills starting to come due, I blame it on the newness of the Rolex Submariner watch you got for christmas wearing off and you realized its just another watch.

Not much happened last week either (unless you were a Green Bay or Cowboy’s fan). It was quite all the way around and Georgia had several bouts of winter weather that didn’t amount to much more than a minor inconvenience. I mean really, if its going to snow, at least snow on a work night and snow or ice enough that I don’t have to go to work the next morning…

Here’s to hoping the last week of January is better…

By the by, no one is entered in the contest to win an iTunes gift card yet…. you could be the first and only!!

When I hit 300 drops yesterday (which I repeated today!) I mentioned to gruntled that I had come across a ton of bad sites and a few good ones in my quest. He wanted to know which ones I liked, so I thought I’d let everyone know. Here are five of the better blogs I came across on EntreCard. In no order….

1. Fabulously Jinxed - A really cool site that has a mix of everything. The writing is easy to read and the site is rather well laid out.
2. Mrs. Sparrow - Granted, if she was married to the famous captain, she wouldn’t really have time to be blogging, but her site is fun, witty and another good read. Not to mention that chick pirates are HOT!!
3. Gospel According To Rhys I actually came across the Gospel before I came across Entrecard, but it wasn’t too prominent on my radar until EntreCard. Rhys is a witty writer from across the pond (thats England for you wags who didn’t know) who chronicles most anything he feels like.
4. Gorilla Sushi is a fun and light hearted read who is going to Ear more whale blubber this year. I can only hope he does.
5. cigar Jacks - This has become one of my daily must hits. If for any other reason than to extend my knowledge of cigars. I smoke an occasional cigar (I even have a Humidor), but my knowledge is rather limited to the one brand I happen to have on hand. I need to learn the lingo and find some new smokes and this is a good place to do it.

I think I’ll work on a five of the worst finds on EntreCard… the problem is going to be narrowing it down to only five.
