Writing begets writing.
Wes Anderson on the Menil Collection
Wes Anderson hatred abounds, buy y’all can all suck it.
Anderson: I always feel like there are specific things about Houston. There’s one museum in particular in Houston. So many of the things that I’m interested in now I can sort of trace back to that museum, which introduced me to them.
Cocker: What museum is that?
Anderson: [...]
Innnnnnteresting…
Columnist Ann Landers once did an informal survey of her readers back in the 1970’s. The single question she asked of them was: “If you had it to do over again, would you still have children?” A surprising 70% said “no.”
From a MeFi thread on the rudest of all rude questions, “So… when are you [...]
Me gusta la Vespa
Helmet Hair Magazine, a Texas-based magazine catering to women who ride motorcycles, has branched into covering the scooterist lifestyle too. I have a column in their brand new section, Scooteristas Unite.
On Barthelme and seredipity
It may be confirmation bias but I’m been reading about, hearing mentions of and getting recommendations for Donald Barthelme’s work a lot lately. It started earlier this year when I read The School for my creative writing workshop. I am ashamed to admit I had never read him before.
Over on MetaFilter, someone has linked to [...]
I remembered what it was like to work hard.
Janice Erlbaum, who has been on a deliberate self-imposed internet hiatus for the past few months, has written an interesting post about her experiences with NaNoWriMo.
I also learned how much you can write in an hour, as long as you don’t go back and reread and try to polish things. I used to think, what’s [...]
The perils of being female in Korea
The Awl’s take on The Korea Times’ report that one in five South Korea women are starving themselves to be “beautiful.” No shit!
If you asked a South Korean woman to draw what she thought she looked like on a wall in crayon, she would FORGET THE TASK BECAUSE SHE IS SO HUNGRY.
Even I wasn’t immune [...]
Person from Porlock
I have read so much British poetry this semester. I have never been a fan of poetry but I kind of love Coleridge for his apologetic ways. “Kubla Khan” is an amazing journey into bizarre-ville.
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man.
Down to a sunless sea.

Eff Yeah Boston Terriers!
Via Apartment Therapy, an amazing postcard series of Boston terriers on MCM-design chairs. That link lead me to the adorable blog Fuck Yeah Boston Terriers.
Dylan-esque
My love for Bob Dylan will never die. His new Christmas album may be the best Christmas present ever. I swear to god, I can’t get enough of this song.
Then The Awl posts this Dylan-sampling rap that has had me in stitches all evening. Love it.
