Blurred Line

My hand hurts. I just burned myself on the wonderful chicken parmesan filling of a Bistro Crustini. It was an epic battle, but I think I got the better end of the deal. In case you were wondering, those are giant fangs on the Bistro Crustini. Errr...right. Clearly, I could come up with no interesting topics today, but it's been one of those stressful kind of days and my mind's been elsewhere.

With that in mind, I give you stuff from elsewhere on the web: If you haven't seen it yet, it's probably about time you had a look at the New York Times' Notable Books of 2008. A pretty interesting list this year, though I haven't read any of them. Even more interesting, I haven't heard of a significant number of the authors. Yes, this is the kind of thing that excites me. And a couple of interesting articles from Slate: First, here's an interesting twist on the global economic crisis...Argentina currently has a massive coin shortage. Second, a photo-essay on what to do with a gigantic Wal-Mart store when it goes out of business. Apparently, you turn it into a racetrack.

Keyword(s) of the Day: Kind of hard to pick a favourite today, there were just too many good ones to comment on. For example, "great short stories about death". Go find a Margaret Atwood story called "The Sin Eater". I highly recommend it. Also, it turns out that if you ever feel the need to google "hot swedish girls glimpse" this blog ranks as #5. If I were sleazier, I'd go find some pictures of hot Swedish girls to post. Alas, you must look elsewhere for your sexy Scandinavian goddesses. And, finally, one of the funnier keywords to send someone to this blog, "my eye bleeds". Dude, you should probably go see a doctor.
