Like we’ve said before, we at Blog Log like to find themes in our weekly stroll through Blogtown. Sometimes, that thread eludes us. But other times, a theme pops out early on and — BOOYAH! — it’s like this thing writes itself.
OK, so obsession seems an obvious topic for a group of people who post daily thoughts and observations with no hope of compensation, but while there are obsessions like the ones over at Running Gags — the kind that manifest in philosophies like “Pain, I welcome you”, there are also those of the less-intense variety. Like Bruisin’ Ales Beer Blog’s push to patent its favorite word.
A Girl Who Wears Glasses’ obsession was a fleeting but crucial one, involving a hairstyle at the Feist Concert that she just had to have a picture of.
Cranky Pants Blog participated in the national obsession known as Flat Stanley.
There’s the mysterious underlying lawn boy obsession over at Chicken Inwind/Hillfoot Adrift.
Girl Named Boo took time to scold others for their obsessiveness.
And, as Hangover Journals learned, it’s best not to use the Internet to obsess over a dent in your head.
