nyt reviews equus, starring daniel radcliffe:
For Alan Strang is, in a sense, a tidy inversion of Harry Potter. Both come of age in a menacing, magical world where the prospect of being devoured by darkness is always imminent. The difference is that for Harry that world is outside of him; Alan’s is of his own creation.
An Urban Farmer Is Rewarded for His Dream
With a staff of about three dozen full-time workers and 2,000 residents pitching in as volunteers, his operation raises about $500,000 worth of fresh, affordable produce, meat and fish for one of what he calls the “food deserts” of American cities, where the only access to food is corner grocery stories filled with beer, cigarettes and processed foods.

sarah palin makes me sad.
Palin's response is a collection of hems and haws that are extremely uncomfortable to watch. As she stumbles over word choice, Couric patiently encourages her.

webehigh analyzes the smokiness of cities around the world, including madison and baltimore.
If you stay in the county to cop buds, go to movie theatres and malls, places where there's stuff going on. Most of the people under 25 anywhere in the county blaze, so you can ask around without too much worry...Baltimore is the meeting place of several major interstates: I-95, I-70, I-83, and I-97, and is also second only to New York as one of the largest seaports on the East Coast. Its strategic location makes it one of the major hubs of the illegal drug trade on the east coast.

the village voice interviews michael showalter

Right now I’m enjoying standup because a lot of it’s unscripted. With sketch it’s really 100 percent scripted. There’s improvisation and the process of getting to a final draft, but the kind of sketch comedy I do is heavily scripted. For some people, standup is scripted too, but not for me. I’ve been improvising more and more as I go forward. I go on stage, and I’ll have a couple of things I want to talk about and then just kind of let it go—just kind of open up my mind and start to excavate the ruby- and diamond-encrusted treasures hidden inside.

music: high places - 03/07 - 09/07 (7.08)

from sunflower chakra milk:
High Places channels the spirit of school bus sing-a-longs, back country camping trips, and first prize science fair projects, while conjuring dreams of faraway places through the use of field recordings, contact mics on houshold items, wind instruments and electronic thingamabobs.
