I got tagged!

This is a new thing for me in Blogworld, and also a very exciting thing, if I might add. I mean, like, really exciting. Brian tagged me on his blog with a really nice little writeup, so in the land of blogger reciprocity and pass-it-on-isms, I’m going to, well, reciprocate. So, thanks for making my day, Brian!

Five Blogs I Recommend

1. Well, first and foremost, I tag Brian’s blog, Inrepair.net. (And not just because he tagged me, either.) I have found Brian’s writing to be spot on: thought-provoking and downright human. I’ve only been reading for a few days, but I found myself checking it out this weekend to see if there were any new posts. I can’t say that for a lot of blogs.
2. If you need a dose of gossip, check out TMZ.com. I read this daily, even though I feel a little ashamed of it. And it is nowhere near the depth of Inrepair.net, don’t worry, I’m not comparing the two.
3. Realclearpolitics.com is my favorite place to go to both sides of a political argument. It combines blogs from all over the place; the left, the right, the middle, the undecided. These days I’m more into blogs rather than news, when it comes to politics. At least the blogs don’t have to pretend to be unbiased.
4. I also read a blog of a Mom who calls herself a “Crunchy Domestic Goddess,” hence the blog name crunchydomesticgoddess.wordpress.com. I like this blog because it’s a world I am entirely unfamiliar with: babies, breastfeeding (lots of it!), staying at home with the kids, and the like. To me, it’s an interesting peek into world that I may never know anything about, and coming from a Mom who is articulate and progressive.
5. As a pre-nursing student, I feel obligated to put in something like this, but aside from obligation, I really love this site. This is a freaking cool site from the BBC where you can, among other things, test your knowledge of the human body using an interactive skeleton where you place, rotate, and identify bones, muscles, and organs. Love it.

I’m done! Anyone else want to tag me?
