    Obsessions

    My name is Erin, and I’m an addict. I’m addicted to hotel reviews. TripAdvisor is like crack for me these days — I love that there is a place where average people can give honest accounts of the good, the bad, and the bedbug-ridden. Since I don’t have the luxury of having intimate acquaintances in any of the cities I plan to visit, I’ve been making lists upon lists of places I can afford to stay. It’s gotten so bad that I have “browsing blackouts”, where I think I’ve been browsing for only 30 minutes, but it turns out to be two hours.

    I’m not the only one chasing the dragon, according to the New York Times.

    Another daily Web obsession is Apartment Therapy, which is toying with the idea of starting a Paris edition of its design site. S’il vous plait, AT, full-time Paris reporting is what I’m craving!
