one of these days i'm going to come up with something interesting to post about

Until then, here is a funny picture and two links to recent guest posts on other blogs:

At Big Other, eight things I discovered for the first time in 2009 with commentary: Frank Lima, Lewis Nordan, Billy Joe Shaver, Jim Ford, Melanie Joy, pasta with beans, Scrooged, and Catallus. Thanks to John Madera for asking me to contribute.

An interview with Jason Behrends of the terrific blog What To Wear During An Orange Alert. I talk about what's coming next year for Magic Helicopter Press, other things, blah blah, maybe someone should put a dental drill in my eye, etc.
