Think this has done before, but I can't remember the title, apologies.

What sites do you visit every day, and which do you check out on occasion? I'm at my computer >10 hours a day usually, and it gets pretty boring inbetween hands. I must be missing out.

These are the only sites I visit every single day:
2+2
ESPN.com
Yahoo Sports Fantasy
My affiliates' pages
My NETeller Account
My Email

These are the only sites I visit on occasion:
Gamespot.com
A-Z Lyrics.com
GameFAQs.com
CNN.com

Damn, that's pretty close to what I check. Others I check daily:
- Drudge Report
- bank accounts
- New Mexico Chess Organization forum

Less frequently:
- Dave Letterman's Top Ten list
- some of the columnists listed on Drudge (George Will)
- candylist.com (NSFW) =)

2+2. Bank of America. Rakeback site. ESPN. Fantasy team websites. Barely Legal /images/graemlins/blush.gif.

That pretty much rounds out the regulars.

mostly just 2p2 while i browse my random obsessions, like just a current interest, or things i wish i could buy (lately i've been looking at furniture, art, exercise equipment, kitties..).
i read wetcanvas.com sometimes too but not much lately.

Every morning:

Two Plus Two. I start with WPT, since I mod there, and then back up to BBV and down- BBV, general, all the limit forums save micro, then B&M, NVG, and OOT.

Two other forums, one hip-hop and one tv stuff.

I then read all the links that I have off my own site. These are: three friends blogs, achewood, Bill Simmons, Doonesbury (but I think I might drop this), uss mariner, salon.com's gossip page.

I also scan through the main page of salon and the Seattle PI's website.

I don't really surf that much, just stick with a few specific sites.

Tuckermax.com is one of the funniest sites. It is not updated very often, but it has links to some pretty funny blogs and the tucker max stories are hilarious. They will keep you busy at work for a while.

I will repeat my judgement that people who enjoy Tuckermax.com are usually pretty horrible.

why are so many of you checking your bank accounts daily? do you just enjoy seeing how much interest you've earned overnight or do you frequently forget how much money you have?

Another forum that is pretty interesting is craigslist.org. If you really have some time on your hands, you can also goto ebaumsworld.com which has endless collection of funny videos.
