Places to Go

Check out the fabulous promotional videos for Douglas Coupland’s new book The Gum Thief. Read Heather Mallick “perpetuating her own political views”, well according to one reader, though I thought, more importantly, that she’s written a great piece on language, in addition to any perpetuation– oh, but that an article can do two things! Take the Vanity Fair: Know Your Asshole Footprint quiz. Read Rona Maynard on Holden Caulfield. Jennifer Weiner, wonderfully, on talk in the blogosphere, and what woman are permitted to do, and be and look like.The Walrus loves Late Nights on Air as much as I did. (And how I am loving their new vamped-up books section this month).

    that Vanity Fair quiz is super funny. but also…Vanity Fair is a longtime propagator of most of those assholey behaviours (particularly in the 40-55 secion). Odd. But yes, one must never say, So cute, to an old person.

    Ahh Vanity Fair. They’re trying to change!!!
