It really is. There is no point pretending otherwise. Make sure you hover your mouse over the 'enter' button and do - if you value all that is good and just in the world - have a little wander through "music" and "animation". You will not be disappointed.
Here it is, right here: the website of a website designer who is going to be getting a bit of a SHOCK today as his traffic will go up 1,000,323%, based on the amount of links I have seen to it in the last hour. In his defence, there is a lovely 'clunk' when you click through to something else and it loads jolly fast, and he will probably get a lot more business out of the whole thing.
Phew!
In other news, what is your favourite time-wasting destination on the interwebs? I am very keen to find out these new things. Let us have Reader Recommendation Week. I think it will be nice. I will review them all AND put the results in a post. Everyone will feel like it is Christmas a bit early and cry a bit.

Oh. Dear. God. I don't even.....
Excellent, so modern, and yet so full of nostalgia.
For websites to spend more time on than you should, I suggest either (or both) of:
http://justsolitaire.com
and
http://comicallyvintage.tumblr.com
Ooh, I waste acres of time interwebbying...let me see..
Current faves - not counting facebook and twitter include http://www.lettersofnote.com/ and http://www.mapmyrun.com/ (ha ha, as if!). And google maps of course. My current obsession is checking out places I'm reading about in novels. Does that make me a sad person?
The glory that is Cheese or Font (two of my most favourite things) http://cheeseorfont.mogrify.org
and it's risque big brother Steak House or Gay Bar (neither of which I qualify for, but still fun) http://www.steakhouseorgaybar.com
Besides you? Tired Dad, of course!
And Johnny B of course

The shop! The shop is amazing! It took me up in an elevator!
I work on websites, so can even call this research, should anyone walk in to find me sniggering quietly to myself.
Oh... well, I always look in on pajiba.com because then I can pretend to be intelligent when other people discuss films - films I will never see as I hate going to actual cinemas where your feet stick to the floor and rotten children bring cell phones and laser pointers (at least I hope they're children).
I confess to reading failbook.com now and then - but argue that it's because I was doing research for a lecture and also because I am a weak, weak person.
Lots of other stuff - much of it compartmentalized (ie digital art stuff, web stuff, font stuff, hobby-related stuff).
I'd be specific but at the moment I have no brain at all - none - and I'm not entirely sure anymore what I'm commenting on...
I have spent many a happy hour here:
www.oldbaileyonline.org
I also had a nosy around your archives, which I wouldn't like to characterise as time-wasting - except that a lot of time did pass and I didn't get anything else done.
Woah
That was like I was walking into The Starship Enterprise!
Blimey.
Now, I waste my time here; with TiredDad; JonnyB; ScaryDuck and also, I must confess, here:
http://dogs.icanhascheezburger.com/
La...
puncturedbicycle - that site is brilliant! I thought I had achieved true happiness with http://www.mcgonagall-online.org.uk/ which is a tribute to the great Scot poet of the 19th century, but the old bailey? oooooh
Haz to be icanhazcheeseburger - but just the cats section. Dogs are just not as intrinsically comic as a cat *shrug* is that racist?
BTW - great designer's website!
Hello. I've just double-'ignored' you on Face-bloody-book. In fairness, I doubt you even know about this, as everyone has at least three email addresses these days. Word veri is 'biable' btw.
Oh I've just checked the website in question. So truly bad it goes beyond being 'good' and rightfully occupies the territory of 'astounding'. Time wasting - 'clients from hell', 'my first dictionary' and of course 'hecklerspray'. Obvious ones: 'the onion', 'popjustice', 'passive aggresive notes' and 'overheard in new york'
How on EARTH can you ignore a request I DID NOT MAKE (for the second time)? It is "up there" with an invitation to a party in Cape Town being held on 6th December that I have, apparently, accepted an invitation to, or the time my LinkedJizz account sent out spam informing the 3 people I worked with in 1994 that I am now selling Canadian drugs online at discount. In other news, I am beginning to think that site is an elaborate joke.
I don't know but the internet is conspiring to make you appear ridiculously needy. Which I know you're not so I should have a word with it if I were you.
you need to download stumble - go check it out NOW!
To be fair, it does load very fast. And it's shiny.
Anyway, I think you might enjoy this:

The God of Cake post is especially, um, insightful.
Toot toot!
