Notebooks from old books, originally uploaded by cote. Check out these blank books made with covers of old, lurid and cheesy paperbacks. I spotted these at the Blue Genie Christmas Bazaar this year in Austin. As the little note next to them said, this is an example of upcycling, or making something new out of…

Most Unconvincing Billboard Ever
Most Unconvincing Billboard Ever, originally uploaded by kaskotak. Kim and I have been seeing variations of this billboard all over town, promoting tourism for Beaumont.

A fruit bowl for two
Awhile ago, I thought it’d be nice to have a fruit bowl on the table. We’d have apples and bananas and grapes just like one of the endless, boring still lifes you see on vacation muesem strolls. Minus the marble-eyed fish and shoulder flashing milk-maids. Keeping all that fruit from rotting is tough work. Bananas…

Procrastination
I have that certain problem with procrastination, the one where I do all sorts of things of little to high value instead of THE one thing (or things) that really needs to get done.

The Brunching Shuttlecocks Dungeons Dragons & To be honest, the plot makes as much sense as the rules involving the consumption of Iron Rations. I have no idea why they made a D&D movie with such a lofty “let’s save the little people” plot. Most D&D games I can remember playing involved going into the…

Just what is Southern food – and where is it going? “There is no food that is characteristic of the whole South,” Pillsbury said. “Grits are not everywhere. Biscuits are not everywhere. And you have to be open-minded about what you call cornbread.”

My Horrible Dining Experience at IHOP in Killeen Dorothea said, “Because the waitress is talking to this girl who a while ago was one of the ones horseplaying. She was putting her hands under her armpit, holding out her elbows, and walking around like a chicken.” In front of the customers? I asked myself.

Chicago Tribune, “RUN, RALPH, RUN” The assumption by Democrats is that Nader’s supporters don’t understand the consequences of their vote, that, strategically, their support for Nader instead of Gore might benefit George W. Bush. The law says a citizen has to be 18 years old to vote. These are grown-ups taking part in an election.…
