Conspiracy Theories. Why Do We Love Them So?
I’m listening an interview on the radio right now about conspiracies surrounding 9/11. Today, Maddow interviewed Mark Jacobson of New York Magazine who recently wrote an article on a new generation of conspiracy theorists. I’ve always been a little blown away by the number of people who believe that the administration KNEW about the attacks…

Mary Gaitskill, Jonathan Lethem, and Built To Spill.
A few weeks ago, I went ahead an purchased two tickets to see Jonathan Lethem read at BAMcafé. While there, I realized that Mary Gaitskill is reading as well. Currently, some of us are reading her over on Spread. We’re reading Two Girls, Fat and Thin. The book has spawned many of weird and disturbing…

Friends. How Many Of Us Have Them?
Yes, I totally just quoted a Whodini song. Yesterday, was a really, really rough day for me. My head was all over the place. I wasn’t very pleasant to be around. I certainly wasn’t very pleasant to know. It sucked. I sucked. I should bury my head in the sand instead of attempting the social…

SPD Search Added
Tobyjoe added a search box to SPD. We need to make it look prettier, but it’s there for now. And it works! I just searched my own name and I found this baby. I have issues.

Saint Patrick’s Day and New York City
It’s not even 10 AM and I swear that all of New York’s tourists are already drunk. It’s a complete mess out there. The three blocks I walk from Grand Central Station to Madison and 45th are filled with green faces, stickered pant legs, green top hats, green umbrellas, green everything. It’s insane. The parade…
