Just & Here

Just listened...to Junot Diaz reading his now-classic, "How to Date a Brown Girl (Black Girl, White Girl, or Halfie)," here.

Just amazed...by the fact that an entry on men's shorts at The Sartorialist garnered 198 comments here.

Just enjoyed...the post "Filial Piety" at Chasing the Red Balloon here.

Just dropped...my jaw at what I believe is perhaps A.D.'s longest post in recent history here, a post which was inspired by Jean's intriguing post here.




Just finished...reading Coraline (here) which is technically a short novel for children, but which is so freaking creepy I cannot imagine reading it to my kids for another 5 years.




Just coveting...this little print here for my new reading corner. A true steal at $13!


Just impressed...by Vida (here), who is at this very moment explaining the concept of word families to Lea: "All these words like 'sat,' 'mat,' 'hat,' 'cat,' are called 'word families' because they all end with 'at' and they also all rhyme. Do you see that?"

Hope that was a good jaw drop.

According to Gaiman's blog, Coraline's due out around Halloween 2008: Coraline Links

Looks pretty good.

Hi Bec! Oh, that's gonna be one disturbing movie...
