Well that dumb list of the best magazine articles at least inspired me to start making a list of some of my favorite magazine articles, in alphabetical order by author. (Note I didn’t say “best”; I said “my favorite.”) Some of these link to abstracts because the full article is not online.
These are the ones I thought of this morning. I’ll keep adding to the...

Goodbye, rest of the week!
katiebakes:
Wow, this is great. I’m basically reblogging it specifically for my friend Will (and also for myself.) PS: Not that it isn’t one of the best, but it’s some bulllllllsheeeeeit that “Federer as a Religious Experience” has so many more stars than “The String Theory”. GO READ THE STRING THEORY, EVERYONE. READ IT NOW. (via peterwknox)

Also, at the Mad Men gathering I was at, we took a mid-episode break and I said “I can’t believe Don likes being slapped” and Katie and Aileen said in total jinx-unison “Don should be doing the slapping!”
Katie and Aileen should go back and re-read their Mary Gaitskill.

On Eating Out in New York; Or, Restaurants That...
Here is my list of RESTAURANTS THAT CAN DO NO WRONG, or what might be called “MY FAVORITE RESTAURANTS IN NEW YORK CITY,” inspired by someone who tweeted at me that I seem to have a lot of weird experiences at restaurants and I realized that I often only tweet about the bad things that happen at restaurants, when in fact there are quite a few restaurants that I completely adore....

My deep thought while running this morning was that one of my biggest pet peeves is when people I thought were cool in college email me and are all, underminingly, “OMG it’s so cool you’re a writer! I totally wish that’s something I had time to do,” OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.
Dude, nobody had a gun to your head telling you you had to be a corporate lawyer. And...
NEW LIFE
bluefugate:
On Sunday evening, I deleted Twitter and Tumblr off my phone, and besides for a five minute relapse this afternoon, they have stayed deleted. It was all just starting to feel too much like an eating disorder or like academic mania — being preoccupied with thoughts you don’t care about, compulsively seeking information that is at once overwhelming and boring, soliciting the approval...
Texting Message from Aunt
zoltana:
Aunt: I was explaining to a friend how I couldn’t even understand the title of your thesis. Can you please tell me the title? Me: “Il sacrosanto privato privatissimo mio mio:” Autarkic Subjectivities of Italian Narrative from Carlo Emilio Gadda to the Gruppo ‘63. But the title might change soon. Aunt: Can you give it to me in English? Me: “The sacrosanct...
Updates:
1. Emailed back.
2. Several people at the party last night told me they couldn’t see the zit and I don’t think they were just saying that to make me feel better à la “do I look fat.”
3. Dog seems to be in good spirits.
4. Mom emailed me almost immediately after the post went up asking why I hadn’t called her to “commiserate about Lee’s...

I’m sorry, but I can’t email you back until I feel less tired and cranky and this zit on top of my lip stops looking like a cold sore and this cough goes away. Why didn’t I take Dayquil this morning? I had to take Tylenol Cold & Flu to fall asleep. Also my dog has a bacterial infection in her anal glands and she’s on antibiotics. Her ANAL GLANDS. The vet said the stuff...

I really enjoy Sadie’s blog. I hear her voice inside my head as I read it. It’s perfectly and wonderfully Sadie.
