Celebrity Cola is (as quoted from the subtitle) “A slipshod guide to the universe. A weblog with issues. And uncarbonated news & reviews, straight from the can.” Lucas Brachish from New York writes this blog and his profile gives his occupation as “Agitator. Editor. Insomniac.” I love profiles that make me laugh.
The first impression is a good one with a very simple design and color scheme. The author’s insomnia shows when you see the times he posts (2 AM and the like). Most of his posts tend to be a bit long, but don’t get me wrong–they are an enjoyable read, quite humorous and often insightful.
What brings this blog down is the way he lists and categorizes his writings. It’s frenzied at best. In his sidebar he lists “Table of Contents” and it has (I think) every post he’s ever written, listed by title. (Very long titles) At the bottom of the main page is something called “Celebrity Cola, by the Glass” with more links to old posts. Are these the same ones you have to scroll to see in the sidebar? It’s hard to say.
With such good writing and interesting stories, I’d like to see them presented better in archival form. Sure, the titles of his posts are all very entertaining in themselves, but for a blog, they look clunky presented as they are. However, I would definitely recommend this blog for those wanting a good way to spend some time.Celebrity Cola
