It's finally here. This weekend is Burning Loaf, the first charity edition. Philanthropy for misanthropists. 10 pounds of loaf slapped on the barbecue, hopefully far more dollars than that given away.
Check this out: Visited the DMV this morning. In and out in 15 minutes. Online appointment system actually works...
Am reading Stephen King's "On Writing." I'm not much of a Stephen King guy, having read only one or two of his books and a few shorts. But gosh this autobiographical shoptalk of a book is amazing.

media report
Awesome Books: Steinbeck's Winter of Our Discontent, Ha Jin's Waiting. Both incredible, incredible enough to inspire and paralyze at once.
Awesome DVD: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... see it right away.
Awesome Album: Trash Can Sinatras' Weightlifting. Albums I Wish Were Awesome: Medulla by Björk, A Grand Don't Come For Free from The Streets.
Meanwhile, I've got five U2 songs performed live on the BBC playing often as I anxiously await my copy of How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. (Right. I know it's out and available, but I must honor the pre-Christmas self-gifting moratorium K and I have agreed to practice. How solemn is the vigil this year...)
