You can always read Atlanta Nights<\/a> (Travis Tea<\/a>) if this MySpace-iary isn’t doing it for you. You might also want to read about more sordid publishing industry misbehavior<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spontaneous combustion of manure starts 200-acre blaze<\/a> and Man Pays Library $171, 47-Year Late Fee<\/a>. Conventional wisdom says that these events are unrelated, but conventional wisdom would be wrong.<\/p>\n

Caltech ended a 207-game losing streak<\/a> this weekend against Bard College, but they haven’t yet started conference play. I mention this only because Caltech is in the same conference as Pomona (Pomona-Pitzer team), which has, historically, a considerably better basketball program.<\/p>\n

Big college football programs tend to have 85 or so scholarship athletes (enough to go three deep in every position with extras); this fall the Pomona student newspaper reported that they’re having trouble getting its 37 players<\/a> to practice. What? Football isn’t everything<\/em>?<\/p>\n

How to Speak a Book<\/a> (by Richard Powers): I have yet to read a novel of his (though I have one or two on my shelves and have heard good things about them, but I still have House of Leaves<\/em> to finish), but I found this short little NY Times article quite fascinating. I would call it a must-read of sorts for those who write fiction and who are interested in the process of both reading and writing. Perambulation and reading, reading out loud and other such things … all already dealt with in research on reading. The writing<\/em> bit interests me. Perhaps, also, because Klaus recommended I dictate my dissertation over the course of a weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
