Estimated arrival for season five: tomorrow. Here’s one of my favorite scenes from the series (from season four), where Snoop buys a nail gun. The Wire is definitely one of the best TV programs ever, if not the best. Nice to see the show received a writing nod from the Emmys, but its lack of [...]

Way behind on the story of the day thing. Too much media consumption. A list:

Last one. Promise.
The clip’s from a documentary called “Our Daily Bread.” I haven’t seen it, but my understanding is that there’s no narration or dialogue–just the sounds of the agrobiz. The film’s German (I think), and I’m struck by how much cleaner the processing plants look than pix I’ve seen of such things over here. [...]

In news of the less-alarming variety, I read a great short story in The Furnace Review yesterday, which reminds me of Judy Budnitz’s “Nice Big American Baby.” Check out the story “Prenatal” by Hal Niedzviecki here.

Spring!

So spring officially began more than a month ago, but it started and stopped. Now it has started for good. I think. I took the good faith measure and raised all the storm windows.
In celebration of the lovely weather, this weekend I:
