  • In Alabama a local artist is getting his due-- at age 112.
  • The Brand New Heavies are featured on the Ebony/Jet Podcast.
  • Amazon is strong-arming the Hachette Book group. Right now, it's just the UK titles, but if this drama moves to the US, I am going to have a nervous breakdown as the Hachette is my publisher, too!
  • I'm at the age, where I often have wake-up calls that make me feel old. Well, there is something that made me feel young: I just can't understand all the histrionics surrounding the way that young men wear their pants.
  • I couldn't decide if this was satire or not.
  • Each year, I see the annual Cave Canem group shot and get jealous.
  • Writers, John McCain feels your pain. The NYT rejected his essay.

    Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love you" is admittedly a emotionally manipulative in the context of estranged lions and humans reuniting, but I don't think that video is satire, or at least I hope it's not, as watching it is the closest I have come to crying in 5.5 years, and has even, apparently, compelled me to post on this blog for the first time after having been a loyal reader since, I think, 2004.

    But maybe I just really, REALLY miss my cat right now.
