News and views from the A few unrelated things
First, the Online Gargoyle has a nice photo essay on yesterday's pinkness. I'm mildly jealous of Anna's tights.
Second, yesterday I received my first bonafide piece of wacko hate e-mail. Guess I've been lucky up till now. Here's the thing. The letter is so poorly written (and full of misspellings) that I can hardly make out what the guy is trying to accuse me of. If you're going to yell at me, please be articulate about it.
Third, I'm being totally distracted by some of the new books that have been coming in. My current favorite, if only for its title, is Tom Lutz's Doing Nothing: A History of Loafers, Loungers, Slackers, and Bums in America (174 L978d). From Samuel Johnson ("the busy idler") and Benjamin Franklin (the industrious dilettante") to Jack Kerouac ("rucksack wanderer") and the fictional Wayne Campbell ("slacker with a dream"). Not too many women in this book, though I did spot a little section on Anna Nicole Smith. Check out the cover art:
