Luxist will cater to the insatiable avarice of your covetous soul! It makes it clear from the get-go that it is a blog dedicated to "obsessively covering luxury products."

You'll find enough extravagance here to drain your wallet 60 million times over, in categories ranging from spirits and spas, to jewelry and estates. Be sure to check out the weekly posting of Luxist's "Objects of Desire," wherein the best items from the past seven days are compiled into one formidable list.
Wackyfun
http://www.wackyfun.net
True to its name, wackyfun.net serves up tales of diversion and wackiness (and in some instances, a dangerous mix of both) from an intrepid corps of contributors. Recent points of discussion have included a delectable recipe for carcinogenic salmon, chronicles of adventurous road trips and the quest for a restaurant that can unseat Anna's Taqueria as home to the tastiest burritos this side of the border (yes, they've even compared Anna's against Chipotle -- see the entry dated June 4, 2005). Other highlights include wackypictures and an eclectic rotation of web polls.
Hobotraveler
http://www.hobotraveler.com/blogger.html
Andy, the self-described hobo-traveler hero of this engaging travel journal, has spent eight years traversing through over 50 countries. Unfortunately, his unedited writing is barely comprehensible at times, but the engaging topics are more redeeming. It is worth reading through the FAQs about the site and the history of Andy's travels. Though his quirky entries may take you to many destinations, don't expect to read vivid descriptions of the Presidential Suite at the Singapore Four Seasons Hotel -- Andy travels on a shoestring.
Boing Boing
http://www.boingboing.net
Boing Boing serves up the perfect antidote to a long night of studying. Described as "A Directory of Wonderful Things," this blog keeps you up to date on all of the senselessly entertaining and addictive aspects of the Web, whether it's a marvelous Flash animation of "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" sung in tune to "Bohemian Rhapsody" or a place to purchase suicide figurine bathtub drain plugs. Where would you be without Boing Boing? Reading another thrilling chapter in your orgo textbook, probably.
