Timesucks

Having spent a good portion of the day reading news coverage of the Blagojevich arrest and having, for now, exhausted that topic, I've moved on to my other daily timesucks. In the interest of these providing diversion for others, here are the websites I check daily (if not hourly):

Tastespotting - food blog aggregator that's actually just food porn (thanks to Lauren for the recommendation)

Gapers Block - things happening in/around Chicago, news and events

Apartment Therapy - decorating ideas for (relatively) small spaces, or for the loft that I don't actually own

Television Without Pity - I like to read snarky recaps of TV shows I've already watched. It's a little like reading the novelized version of the film, but for some reason I'm obsessed with it.

ESPN MLB homepage - for the latest news on trades, injuries, amazing catches, no hitters and steroid abuse

People - don't judge, but I love the daily paparazzi photos, and it's the only place I can read breaking news about how Jennifer Aniston feels about Angelina Jolie hooking up with Brad Pitt while he was still married to Jen ("not cool," in case you were curious).
