I enjoy visiting this one from time to time: [http://www.lovelylisting.com/](http://www.lovelylisting.com/). Mocks pictures from real estate listings. ---

Lately, I’ve been wasting entirely too much time on [Wolfgangs Vault](http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/), which has recordings of thousands of classic rock era live concerts. The up side is that you can find listen to concerts as you’re working at your desk. The down side is that once you get going through it, you will probably be doing a lot less work. ---

I thought this was it, really. Though, [MonkeyFilter](http://monkeyfilter.com/index.php) isn’t bad, and some Dopers (I don’t know about you) would probably like sites like [Pain In The English](http://painintheenglish.com/), or even [Common Errors in English](http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/errors.html) (I have wasted a lot of time there, mostly feeling smug because I already knew, but occasionally feeling very dumb.) Oh, and undoubtedly [the best (and truest) page on the whole Wold Wide Web](http://www.vcn.bc.ca/help/guides/turnip.html). 🆒 (It’s a quick hit, but you _will_ return.) ---

[www.sporcle.com](http://www.sporcle.com) has quizzes on a wide variety of subjects. I particularly like the geography ones. I watch quite a few tv shows, and I like to read [Alan Sepinwall’s](http://sepinwall.blogspot.com/) reviews. Sometimes, actors or other luminaries comment on his reviews. Also, a guilty pleasure is [Go Fug Yourself](http://gofugyourself.celebuzz.com/), a catalogue of celebrity fashion faux pas, with commentary. ---
