Retired Blogroll, 05-06 Edition

At least half of the blogs on my blogroll have been retired, renamed or redirected. And half the blogs that I read everyday aren't even on this list. The only way I'm ever going to make myself update the dang thing is if I take it down altogether and start over.

So here's the original AliBlog blogroll. Look for the new version in the sidebar soon. Er, eventually. Okay. I promise to get to it before this post drops off the page. Deal?

Does anyone even care?

Blogs That Make Me Laugh

• Because I'm Your Father
  I keep coming back for the BIYFpod
• Busy Mom
  She's a mom. She's a nurse. She's a blogging icon.
• Dooce
  Since even my boss reads dooce, I'm feeling pretty safe about not being dooced.
• Finslippy
  I've no idea what it means to be finslippy - and yet, I really want to be finslippy.
• I'd Like to Buy a Vowel
  Hey - Sarah's friends are my friends too.
• Live from the Wang of America
  I said Sarah's friends are my friends too!
• Sarah and the Goon Squad
  Sarah is a lifelong friend. The Goon Squad are her twins.
• Suburban Bliss
  Gin-soaked pacifiers. In-law spats. Cheese sandwiches. You'll find it all at Suburban Bliss.
• Tammys random thoughts
  I tell ya, Sarah has a lot of friends. And they're all funny.
• The Queen of Spain
  Royally sarcastic in California, Erin is a friend of Sarah's too.
• The Reign of Ellen
  A must read on Thursdays for the LOST discussion. Also, be sure to check out her court of caricatured royalty.
• a little pregnant
  Turns out, she's more than a little funny.

Blogs That Make Me Think

• Ambivablog
  Not too right, not too left ... but right in between.
• And Then We Bought A Farm ...
  I like her for her writing and her recipes, but you might like her for her car.
• Better Living: Thoughts from Mark Daniels
  We'd all be living better if we could live like this - honestly, fearlessly and with faith.
• Hey Mr. Gobley!
  He gobbles up culture and truth, and spits it back out as poetry to the blogosphere.
• Mom in the Mirror
  Julie's blog includes the mother of all blogrolls -- a listing of hundreds of moms who blog.
• Notes from a Truth Seeker
  I like the Truths she tells.
• Real Live Preacher
  He's real. He's live. But he's no stereotypical Baptist preacher.
• Richard Lawrence Cohen
  Even his everyday posts are poetic.
• Stay of Execution
  Her posts read like open letters from her heart to her mind, and vice versa.
• True Ancestor
  The truest of ancestors have many things to teach us, and that is the case here.
• True Blue Semi-Crunchy Mama
  The blog of Running2Ks, whose diet alone makes her more of an activist than I'll ever be.
• Via Negativa
  I'm simply overwhelmed by his knowledge and insight.
• Waiter Rant
  He makes me laugh too. But more often than not, his stories make me think.
• Warriormonkey
  Not a monkey or a warrior, but she's monkeying some warriors. Or warrioring some monkeys. Know what I mean?

[Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah]

I care. I ALWAYS look at people's blogrolls.

[Becky]

Ack. I need to do this too.

[david]

I care. Partly because I have an old, atrophied blog roll, and yours is expansive and descriptive and I like every one of your recommendations that I've visited so far.

[Alison]

Sarah - I used to too - until I got blog saturated. Now I tend to click on those More from Blogher links a lot, when the headlines grab me.

David - I liked having the descriptions too, but I keep going back & forth on whether to keep 'em for the new blogroll.

[jen]

I like your descriptions, they are short & sweet & to the point, so I know whether they will be an interest to me or not.
