Oh Well

Some things went easier than others.

There’s always English and History come September.

The Weekend in Links

Ever wonder where shit creek is?

Compliments of British Airways? Sure, there’s the old George Carlin bit about “getting high on the plane…”

Right about now, Joe Clark’s photos have me wanting to crank up the air conditioner.

Ben Stein on office attire. Casual? Friday? Casual? Friday? Bueller?

Is there anything that plastic surgeons won’t work on?

More Summer Reading

I’ll be glad after this coming Tuesday once my summer course’s exam is over. Besides the obvious reasons relating to academia, I’ll be able to catch up on two months of The Wire, a week of Maclean’s, Hal’s Hello… and a million other things.

On this afternoon’s edition of Here and Now, host Matt Galloway interviewed Dr. Billy Goldberg, author of the humorously titled Why Do Men Have Nipples? The book’s subtitle has ensured that a copy will be finding its way to my nightstand.

The answer to the book’s title is quite surprising.

And it was once said that home taping was killing music. Pfft.
