An exhibit organized around the schtick of making the paintings about the atmospheric conditions portrayed within them. Works anyway.

As anyone who has talked me me even briefly over the last month knows, I loved reading <I>King Dork</I>. It's a young adult novel that's one-half rant against <I>Catcher In the Rye</I>, one-half spoof of <I>The Da Vinci Code</I>, and one-half Encyclopedia Brown in the 21<SUP>st</SUP> Century. Yeah, I know that adds up to more than one, but that's how good it is. It's also very knowing about rock trivia and absolutely spot-on about what it feels like to be an "uncool" teen.

My fellow blogger <A HREF="http://blog.hometheatermag.com/markfleischmann/">Mark Fleischmann</A> has taken his <I>Happy Pig's Hot 100 New York Restaurants</I> online. The listings are available by neighborhood, alphabetically, or by type of cuisine.

Jeff Wong's unintentional guest-blogging continues with this <I>lurvely</I> little paean to the cassette.

Heck, I find something that works, I stick with it.
