I've decided to take a short creative pause for a couple of days, partly due to a hectic work situation, partly due to just wanting a short creative pause. Recently I've stumbled across some new (and newer) blogs that I think will be worth following, but please come back here after you've looked at them:

Those of you who miss Retarius and the now defunct Non-Stop Cavalcade of Fun (retarius.blogspot.com) will love this new blog called Saddle Sore Review: saddlesorereview.blogspot.com.

A blog called "The Swaying Hips of Kelly Kell" presents a new kind of counterculture cool that I enjoyed right from the start: kellykell.blogspot.com

Then there's the blogger from hell, Satan himself, taking a walk through the blogosphere, heckling the sinners he comes across. I'm already enjoying the devious humor of it: askthedevil.blogspot.com

I guess everyone is blogging these days. Even aliens, as witnessed by this funny, new blog, which in one of its first posts has revealed the truth about Pansifiles: thealienguy.blogspot.com

Poetess Fiona Robyn, who ran a blog for some time exploring creativity and ways to channel it (creative-living.blogspot.com), has begun a new blog posting daily poetic thoughts, descriptions of fleeting scenes and feelings. Some of the posts might be called expanded haikus: asmallstone.blogspot.com

Icy of the inseperable Tom & Icy duo (oldtommyboy.blogspot.com) duo has a new, secret blog. Woof: speakicyspeak.blogspot.com

Ned Rosen's camera phone journal "Dirty Lense" has been around for a few months. I enjoy his eye for perspective: dirtylense.blogs.com/my_weblog

Last but not least, and all the worse because ladies are supposed to be first, is this sexy, new blog "The Shorter the Skirt, the Higher the Kick" about a gal named Patricia Jenkins who just moved to Sweden. I like the way she titillates: coveries.blogspot.com
