This recent post from Ben made me laugh, partly because it’s a conversation I need to have with myself! So here’s to turning off the internal editor and actually having some conversation. A few points of interest, to start it off:
- I recently had the pleasure of participating in a discussion on the New York Times’ “Room for Debate” blog. The topic was asteroids, “The Lure of Rocks From Outer Space.” I didn’t realize until after it went live that I was going to be sharing discussion space with Neil deGrasse Tyson! How cool!
- Thank you all for the mystery series suggestions! I’ve been reading a lot of the suggested authors, and while I’m enjoying all of them, I’m totally loving Linda Barnes. (Except for the bit where one character, noticing that another character has nothing in her kitchen that can be used to cook breakfast, suggests that they go out to Charlie’s Kitchen for breakfast. But that’s a tiny thing in the middle of a string of really enjoyable books.)
- Random bullet of consumerism: there’s this new(ish) store in my neighborhood that sells (among other things) Betsey Johnson and Jessica McClintock cocktail dresses for $40-$60. It’s called Peachfrog, it’s on North 10th between Bedford and Berry. (I don’t know why I suddenly decided that readers of this blog could use a dress-shopping PSA, but there you have it.)
- The sun is out, it’s around sixty degrees, and I’m heading out to see Watchmen. Good weekend so far.
