I am in a cleaning mood this morning, apparently. I reorganized all my photos on my work computer, so my personal/fannish nonsense is separate from the things I need for my job. I unfollowed a bunch of blogs on my Google Reader, including a lot of staples I just don't read anymore, like
Apartment Therapy,
Curbly,
Sailor Twain,
Drawn and
The Jealous Curator. I even straightened up my desk area, which was starting to look like a rummage sale more than anything else. It's progress!
Yesterday
skew_whiff asked about some general interest Tumblrs to follow, and for a moment I was sad, because all the Tumblrs I seem to follow are mostly because of Thor or Tom Hiddleston. But then I remembered! The reason I got a Tumblr in the first place, other than to siphon off my daily exclamations of love and adoration for my favorite leather jacket-loving, classically trained/trained in the Classics tree, was because I was following so many via RSS. So, a few favorites!

unabridgedbookstore is my favorite Chicago book store that's not in Hyde Park, and it's got a lot of nifty recommendations, links, stories and the rest.

thevintagemafia is where
Fleur de Guerre and all her vintage-loving friends make me envious of their style and the way they just seem to spend all their time being fabulous and having fun and being cheeky with each other.
