Top five procrastination blogs

If you’re going to waste time waste it well: Lauren Arthur looks at the top tumblrs to scroll through when your productivity is wavering

TLDR

1. Friends Drew Phillips and Scott Cleveland have set up ‘Wingmanning’, a blog and instagram account that has rapidly gone viral. The concept is pretty bizarre (bordering on creepy) and involves Phillips standing in front of a couple engrossed in each other. The embarrassment you feel for the couple, the general feeling of ‘why am I looking at this’ and the brilliantly blank expression of Phillips make this weirdly entertaining.

 

2. ‘Famous Album Covers Recreated With My Socks’. Quite grim when you think about it but art is art, right?

 

3. In case you aren’t surrounded by enough hipsters in Manchester, ‘Pictures of Hipsters Taking Pictures of Food will bombard you with a whole load more. Possibly the epitome of pointless blogs and yet it sums up the crazy world of social networking we seem to be living in.

 

4. The title is self-explanatory but if you ever want to make yourself feel even more insignificant and horribly uncool, have a gander at ‘Awesome People Hanging Out Together‘.

 

5. Lauren LoPrete has taken misery to the next level combining old Peanuts comics and Smiths lyrics on ‘This Charming Charlie‘. The result? You realise how alike Charlie Brown and Morrissey are and wonder why no one married them sooner.
