Amusement in Bite-Size Chunks

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Most of the RSS feeds I watch tend toward the long side.  Generally this is a good thing.  I enjoy reading the wide variety of articles at Tor.com; I like reading lengthy Scalzi-rants or game reviews by Shamus Young.  Sometimes, though, I just need a bite-sized chunk of amusement to pick me up.

Historically, these bite-size chunks have been most frequently proffered by webcomics.  For the last several months, I’ve been subscribed to F My Life.  A frequently hilarious site, FMyLife is a place where people come to offer twitter-like explanations of why their life, at that very moment in time, sucks. Really, its only significant downside is it makes me feel like a horrible person for laughing.

Enter It Made My Day.  It’s pretty much the same thing, except instead of horrible happenstances it’s happifying ones*.  IMMD.


*Interestingly, some IMMD posts look a lot like FML posts, the notable difference being that the author ended with IMMD instead of FML.  This says things about psychology and stuff.
