This is where I collect things. Maybe you'd also be interested in reading a few things that I've written, or viewing some of my photos, or even some of my videos. If you're feeling especially voyeuristic, you might even want to look through my links, listening habits, and social connections.

Find more links at the main office.

Oh yeah, speaking of Joe — YES.

It’s lamented that the youth get their news from Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. It’s lamentable that they get more from them than from the news. Both guys cover books on broad subjects. The ‘real’ news gives Sarah Palin’s book as much time as if it were important. You could almost get the idea she had actually written it.
— Dick Cavett in a public rant to David Brooks. There’s something so satisfying about well-earned crotchety fist-shaking. You tell ‘em, Dick. (h/t Joe)

Here we go. I’m skiing the American Birkebeiner this Saturday. 50 Kilometers of Wisconsin snow. Oh boy am I in for it.
I’ll be staying with some friends from the ‘ol college Nordic ski team, who continue to meet every year for the Birkie. The usual itinerary is:

Check into our rented house the day before
Eat lots of spaghetti
Get up early and ski the Birkie
Have a beer at Angler’s (a short walk from the finish line)
Return to our rented home, nap
Shot-ski

Day Job and Night Job →

BY ANDREW HUDGINS

After my night job, I sat in class
and ate, every thirteen minutes,
an orange peanut-butter cracker.
Bright grease adorned my notes.

At noon I rushed to my day job
and pushed a broom enough
to keep the boss calm if not happy.
In a hiding place, walled off

by bolts of calico and serge,
I read my masters and copied
Donne, Marlowe, Dickinson, and Frost,
scrawling the words I envied,

so my hand could move as theirs had moved
and learn outside of logic
how the masters wrote. But why? Words
would never heal the sick,

feed the hungry, clothe the naked,
blah, blah, blah
Why couldn’t I be practical,
Dad asked, and study law—

or take a single business class?
I stewed on what and why
till driving into work one day,
a burger on my thigh

and a sweating Coke between my knees,
I yelled, “Because I want to!”—
pained—thrilled!—as I looked down
from somewhere in the blue

and saw beneath my chastened gaze
another slack romantic
chasing his heart like an unleashed dog
chasing a pickup truck.

And then I spilled my Coke. In sugar
I sat and fought a smirk.
I could see my new life clear before me.
It looked the same. Like work.

Totally ridiculous. Y’all know better than that.

Why does Pitchfork need a Tumblr?

This one definitely gets filed under not cool.
