  • New York Magazine had a fascinating article about "the end" of the book industry. If you're at all interested in the behind the scenes workings of advances and book economics, check it out. (Then go buy a book at Borders.)
      The End: The book business as we know it will not be living happily ever after. With sales stagnating, CEO heads rolling, big-name authors playing musical chairs, and Amazon looming as the new boogeyman, publishing might have to look for its future outside the corporate world.

  • It's Rosh Hashanah which means I'm off form work for two days. There will be a bit of synagogue and a lot of lazy time because I decided to stay in MI. It's crazy to fly to NY in the middle of the week so I'm heading back the weekend of 10/18 instead. (Note to self: buy flight tonight.) I watch tv, etc. on the holiday but I don't work at all which creates a very nice two day break in the middle of the week.

  • A friend from the past friended me on facebook with this note: And what part of the country are you in now and which boy band member have you married? heheh. Hahaha. OH, DEAR. It's not difficult to remember what period of my life he and I were good friends.

  • Apparently Appaloosa is already out in some markets. My grandmother called to tell me she saw it this weekend and loved it! I'm so jealous. I can't wait to see the movie this weekend!!

  • I caught up on the first to episodes of this season of Heroes and I'm in. Bruce Boxleitner doesn't make much of an appearance but watching the full episodes was enough to get me hooked. I haven't watched the show since midway through season 1 but the Heroes wiki made it easy enough to catch up.

  • Oh, hey, here's a pet peeve of mine: Episode commentary in the form of stream of consciousness writing. I find it impossible and irritating to follow. "Oh, Sheppard's not going to...he did! OMG he did!" "Don't go in there, Dean. Sam! Sam, go get your ass after Dean!" That is not how I want to read someone's thoughts about an episode of TV.
