Sites You Spend SO Much Time On, It's Embarrassing

Etsy

See above.

Facebook

Had to state the obvious— sorry.

Amazon

Between searching for a new laptop bag, buying books, and pretty much everything and anything else, I clock major time on Amazon.

Google Maps

What can I say, I’m a nerd for cartography.

Guidespot

Duh.

People

I love “Star Tracks” and therefore I am a terrible human being.

Hulu

Watch the whole first season of “Kings” in the span of a week? Okay.

Epicurious

If I don’t come on this site with a mission (like looking for a turkey burger recipe,) I can spend HOURS on here. And then I get hungry. And then I cry because there’s nothing in the fridge to eat.

LAPD Crime Map

Call it morbid curiosity, voyeurism, or being just plain sick, but I can’t stop checking the LAPD Crime Map. Wouldn’t you want to know where the homicide hot points are?

Twitter

Ever since I started following Michael Ian Black I feel like I have to check Twitter 12 times a day to see all his updates— that man is hilarious.

Craigslist

I just moved into an apartment, and while I was looking for somewhere to live I was on Craigslist for like 8 hours a day. And now that I need some new furniture, it’s back to Craigslist I go.

Lala

When will the online music addiction stop?!

Weather.com

I know, I am lame. I don’t know why, but I love looking at weather.com. This probably stems from crazy cousin sleepovers as a kid when we would bleary-eyed watch the Weather Channel for “fun.” I like using the map feature that shows you time lapse over the next few hours, especially if it’s going to rain.

It’s not even for the purpose of “Oh I’ll go to the store now before it rains.” I just like knowing precisely when precipitation is on the horizon (!), comparing predicted temperatures with observed temperatures. I am soooo glad the Mentos ad is finally gone—was up for months! (This is normal, right?)
