For the most part, Gnome Life sounds like your typical Tumblr: a flannel-clad young guy moves to New York and posts lots of vaguely artsy photos of himself staring off into the distance. But there's a twist: he's a one-hundred-eight-year-old gnome. Like, white beard, red hat gnome.

It's a little like those Travelocity ads, but more internet, because unlike the gnomes of yore Gnaughty Gnome is a satirist. He's making fun of the internet on the internet, and something that self-referential can't help but be interesting.

Pretty much every entry features a dramatic photo and some cryptic writing about the struggles of trying to fit in in Brooklyn, which is great because it's basically the same formula followed by some of the bloggers that take themselves most seriously (think: The Sartorialist meets a personal diary). But he's a gnome! A gnome! He isn't serious at all! (Or is he?)

Regardless, it's good stuff. And there's nothing like feeling sorry for an emotional, mythical man to help you get through a Monday.
