Frequent links: Speed Dial, TV shows, columns and webcasts:

Sites I visit a Lot, part ONE (under cut.)


Speed Dial (also bookmark bar bookmarks):
melannen@yahoo.com - this is where journal comments and most fannish/fun emails go.
the Gmail account - this is where important, grown-up emails go. (I am usually not logged in to my google account, because it creeps me out when my search page is *visibly* tracking my every move.)
Interrobang Studios - the webcomic I work on.
my LJ friendlist (non-DW-crosspost filter)
my JF friendlist
my DW reading page
my Librarything catalog (though I usually skip right from here to Talk, the Librarything communities/forums)
Delicious popular slash bookmarks - for when I want some goodfic. I can use the "related tags" sidebar to skip to popular non-slash in the current big fandoms, too. (Though it has started to fail me lately - I have realized that a reboot Kirk/Spock fic that isn't also tagged Spock/Uhura is probably going to annoy me, and I can't navigate right from this page to the Spock/Uhura tag, alas.)
my IJ friendslist - I very rarely check this anymore, but there are a few comms I only follow there, and Speed Dial has nine slots by default, so it gets to stay up until something else knocks it off.

Streaming television & radio shows:
(some of these make it as annoying as possible to bookmark. yarr. I am still constantly suprised by the general web-incompetence of traditional-media companies.)
Things I try to keep up with (all liberal news shows, oddly):
The Daily Show
The Colbert Report
Countdown with Keith Olbermann
Kick It To Rachel - the youtube channel of Keith/Rachel tosses, since the official webcasts usually omit them. (Yay for [personal profile] sarken!)
The Rachel Maddow Show
The Bugle - John Oliver & Andy Zaltzman do what is essentially a weekly audio-only British version of the Daily Show

Things I check when I'm caught up on pundits but need something to listen to:
NOVA online - which links me to PBS in general
This American Life online - which links me to NPR in general
BBC Horizon - British NOVA-like program.
Air America radio

Shows I'm actually going to watch all the way through sometime, I swear:
Star Trek: TOS at CBS
Leverage at TNT
Top Cat on youtube
Naruto - I got about a third of the way through, and I really like the show, but I need to actually watch the screen to read subtitles, so I never get around to watching this.
lady_ganesh: A Clue card featuring Miss Scarlett. (Chloe grin (smallville))
