So, after a week of being occupied by everything but the computer, I am spending a little time this morning catching up on what I missed. One of my first reads was PC World's "100 Blogs We Love," because you can never have too many feeds in your RSS reader. Unfortunately, the list consists of the same old stuff everyone has already heard about and not a single book-related site is on it. Snore!

Of course, I was very pleased to see Reality Blurred, the definitive reality TV weblog, among the Arts and Culture sites. Reality Blurred is run by my friend Andy, who got me into this blogging thing. I was there the day the site debuted and was amazed when he showed me how a few clicks could let loose anyone's thoughts on an unsuspecting Internet. And look how far he's gone with it.

Not a lot of TV watching happens at Casa BookBlog since I own an inventory of unread books to rival a small bookstore. Despite the handicap, I did manage to tip off Reality Blurred on Bestseller, a book-themed reality TV show currently in development. As Andy reported yesterday, Simon Cowell of "Idol" planned to "pitch the idea to U.S. networks in June." If it makes it to the tube, I will have to put aside the reading to tune in. The auditions are sure to be like watching a living, breathing slush pile with the added bonus of actually seeing crazy writers explain away their bad prose.
