This book is called Grrrr. It is a collection of poems about bears.

I did another 20 Things swap. “Unsupervised” is in the upper left corner.
SWIFTIAN MOMENT
She’s under arrest for repeatedly punching her four-year-old daughter. Her name is Madelyne Gorman Toogood.
HESITATION
I stood at the register indecisively, a copy of BUST in one hand, and Weddingbells Magazine in the other.

My favorite mirror project gallery so far.

This is a link to a kitty-cat singing a love song with a gigantic bouncing-heart backdrop. You must click on it.
REVIEW
Wrote a review of K-19: The Widowmaker, which I highly recommend if you enjoy young, muscular men in tight quarters. Hooray for war movies.

Ohhh. Little rabbit grabs cursor. Silly rabbit.

Unique Fixer Upper Opportunity
I’m going to start doing reviews for filmcritic.com. Unfortunately, filmcritic.com is ugly. I had the following conversation with Chris:
Dude, your site is ugga-ugga.
No it’s not!
It’s mauve. With yellow type.
It’s burgundy. It’s not ugly.
What is this font?
It’s all messed up because you’re using a Mac.
As are many people who care about site design.
It’s not mauve.
It’s offensive.
Well then, redesign it. I’m not a designer.
Me neither, but it’s a good site. I bet I could find someone who would do it for free.
Really?
Maybe. It gets a lot of traffic.
O.K.
This is not some rinkydink site. It gets about 35,000 hits a day and has been mentioned in CNN, Yahoo! Internet Life, HotWired, B!Zine, and regularly appears on Yahoo! Movies. Also, it is mauve. I know there are designers, art directors, and information architects in the Bay Area who are spending much of the day watching Dukes of Hazzard and updating their blogs. Anyone feel like doing a makeover? This would be a colossal before/after portfolio piece. I will bring you baked goods, and Chris will be generally kind to you. Email if you’re interested.
Addendum: We found someone. Quickly. I was shocked and heartened by how many generous offers flooded my inbox. You guys are the best. Thanks to everyone who responded. I wish I could bake for each and every one of you, but that would be more flour than I could safely cart home from the grocery store. The dirty work goes to Mike Monteiro of Mule Design (you may know him as Henry’s dad). He’s swell, and therefore, he deserves some biscuits. Thanks again to all of you who wrote.
Weird Dream
Jim Carrey was wearing a tweed suit and covering himself in chocolate-chip-cookie dough. He danced around on court at a basketball game, and then he scraped the cookie dough from his body, baked the cookies, and sold them for five bucks a pop. Proceeds went to the homeless.
SPEAKING OF FUNDRAISERS
If you live in San Francisco, you should go to the 826 Valencia fundraiser tonight. It’s from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., $10 at the door, and the proceeds go to Dave Egger’s writing workshops for kids. Mr. Eggers himself will be there, and they’ll also be celebrating the release of McSweeney’s Issue #8. All the cool kids are going. Also, there will be chips.
Superman or Chewbacca?
This is almost as addictive as Hot or Not. What’s Better
asks you to rate incongruous things. What’s better, a nuclear explosion or a bull elephant seal?

This email from my high school sweetheart says something complex about my teen years:
“Saw this and for some inexplicable reason, thought of you.”
