Inauguration Madness Update
I’m thinking that this is going to become a regular feature here between now and January 20th. Today, we learn that hotel owners in the D.C. area are trying to get every last dollar they can: Deirdre Flanagan, a lifelong Democrat, wanted to splurge on the presidential inauguration. Although she lives in Annapolis, Flanagan decided to book a hotel room closer to Washington so that she and her daughter would have a place to crash after attending the Jan. 20 festivities. On Oct. 27, a week befo

Swaps and Kleenex Invasion
I’ve had a raging cold all week long, thanks in part to my wonderful husband who had a cold last week altho it wasn’t his intention to give it to me so I can’t be too mad. I have carried around a box of Kleenex under one arm from room to room for the last 3 days. The highlight of my week was receiving my swaps back from my monthly swap group of talented stampers and I thought I’d share: Stamped by Mary Hall. I loved the colors - Black and Not Quite Navy, and the way she used the Top Note Sizz

Why this Conservative Government Deserves Defeat
the announcement that Arthur A. Levine at Scholastic would be buying her novel Plain Kate, and we’ve been unable to really enjoy that news what with being so sick. And the day that she’s actually feeling good, this happens? It’s almost like some crazy see-saw attempting to make things balance out. Anyway, I guess we are lucky in that :Erin: wasn’t as badly hurt as she could have been, but I’m sure she’d rather have been lucky enough not to have taken that fall. And now for the news of the w
2008's Best
Cue the end-of-year best-of and top-ten lists! While the summer season is reserved for round-ups of "beach reads" and bestsellers, the winter season is where critics do all their acclaiming, picking out the best that literary culture has served before us and urging us enthusiastic readers not to let the new year slip by before giving them a look. The Kansas City Star comes in early with ten panelists choosing ten favorite books apiece, each in a separate category (poetry, regional, and so on).

This and That...

DVD of the Week Extra - Freaks and Geeks Yearbook Edition
Somewhere between Dawson’s Creek and Welcome to the Doll House is this sharp, funny, and surprisingly poignant high school dram-edy (for lack of a better word). Junior Linda Cardellini (late of E.R.) grounds the series as the former class brain who rejects her place in the school hierarchy and, in startling identity crisis, gravitates toward the school “freaks,” a group of stoners, under-acheivers, and minor key rebels, sort-of led by charismatic rebel without a clue Daniel (James Franco, looki

Ryeon Corsi, a student in Doug McGill’s journalism class at Carleton College, has written a piece titled Two Sons of Northfield Remember Malt-O-Meal’s Good Ol’ Days (PDF - full text below). Two Sons of Northfield Remember Malt-O-Meal’s Good Ol’ Days by Ryeon Corsi “I don’t have anything against partying, but if you can’t party and work in the same day, then maybe you should give up one of them,” said the Glenn Brooks of Bill Stanton’s memory. That was over thirty years ago. Glenn Brook
it must be love
it must be love October 20th, 2008 Italian fashion legend Roberto Cavali spent the weekend on the beach with his girlfriend. I don’t know her name, but she seems like a great gal. Very open-minded. Having tons of money is apparently a good way to get hot young girls to sleep with you. Just between you and me, pointing a gun at them works pretty well too.
