Since my last post, a bunch has happened. To wit:
- My boss pointed out author-provocateur (provocateuse?) Norah Vincent's newest outrageous, ethically questionable piece of muckraking;
- my former NWsource.com colleague Jon Palmer drew my attention to the Times' new blog, Coffee City;
- Facebook revealed plans for another big facelift;
- and former Seattle Weekly managing editor Chuck Taylor -- aka my former boss -- unveiled his new Seattle Post-Post-Intelligencer wiki, just one of many online responses to the probably imminent demise of the Seattle P-I. Chuck has been interested in the topic of technology and journalism for a long time, so it's good to see him stay ahead of the curve.
- visited my half-sister Lore in Los Angeles and took a lot of pictures (the image above is of a public high school, believe it or not);
- watched The Class, the Heroes pilot, and Atonement, the last of which was better than I thought it would be (The Class and Heroes were, respectively, quite good and just fine);
- saw the Irish band Lunasa perform on a wonderfully warm night;
- read quite a bit of Curtis Sittenfeld's American Wife, which I'm really enjoying;
- began to realize that my 20 daily milligrams of Celexa aren't, thus far, measuring up to my previous prescription, 10 milligrams of Lexapro;
- visited L.A.'s Central Library;
- consumed various authentic Mexican delicacies, including candied lime skin stuffed with sugared coconut and watermelon, cantaloupe, and mango cut in pieces, tossed in a plastic bag, and seasoned with chili powder, salt, and lime juice;
- and got my beloved car, Gracie, back from the mechanic. She's doing fine.
