Triple barrelled blognate
June 24th, 2008
Lee Tran Lam keeps starting blogs. Fortunately they’re good.
To recap, one’s inspired by her FBI radio show, Local Fidelity (just one post so far). Another, more ahem mature blog - The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry - celebrates this vegetarian foodie du jour’s experiences in restaurants here and afar.
The latest one’s called Recommended Daily Intake - in Lee Tran’s words, “a blog that asks people, ‘What five things do you love, right now?’”
It would be five things that you are loving right now – could be a book, album, restaurant, magazine, article you’ve just read, etc. For example, “The Cranks Cookbook by Nadine Abensur: my desert island cookbook, if desert islands came equipped with a fully functional stove and good seasonal produce”, that sort of thing. It’s just for fun and no-big-deal and the point of it is to discover things (books/stores/films/restaurants etc) that people might not know about.
Recent inclusions include LA-based artist James Gulliver Hancock recommending Murakami’s ace New Yorker piece on running, one of my favourite bloggers (and sister of sister in laws) Beccy Joe Stuart talking bluegrass, and, most recently, me, on a bunch of things I’m currently besotted with.
Email Lee Tran (details on the page) if you want to join in.
