skinny times

In my agency days, one of my favorite "jobs" was pouring over different shelter publications on my train ride to and from work.

It makes me sad to see how thin some of these pubs are right now.

So many magazines have gone by the wayside in the past year or so. I just hope some of my favorites can hold on until the economy recovers.

And yes, that's a peanut used for scale.

crappy, but oh so good

I'm just loving Julianne Moore's look in A Single Man. She looks like she just stepped out of Valley of the Dolls. I know this book is conventionally thought of as trash by most literary folks, but I have to admit I was glued to this book and could not put it down.

Because of this (and the 30 million+ copies sold of it) I think it's worth putting in my literary canon.
