Stuff

What minimal tv I’ve been watching; but can I really attribute it to the writers’ strike?

Good Deal with Dave Lieberman – I’ve been watching much of this show. Such a cutie, this Dave Lieberman! 😉

Learn so much from Alton Brown’s show Good Eats. I’m get glued to the tube when it’s on.

Now, if only I were to actually cook, after watching all these cooking shows.

So glad to know that I’m not the only one who re-uses shopping bags – and that some department stores design their bags with that intention.

Can the SUNY system be anything like, say the UC system (with Berkeley) or UMichigan (with the Ann Arbor campus)? Well, that depends on the state, doesn’t it? The fact that our elementary and secondary education systems leave much to be desired, I’m not certain how would the state transform the higher education in the public realm.

Hmm, interesting op-ed in the NY Times’ Week in Review by Adam Freedman on the commas in the Second Amendment, and what kind of trouble this may lead in trying to predict what will happen to the whole right to guns thing.

NY Times’ Holland Cotter, on the eve of leaving the neighborhood, talking about the Cloisters. I really liked it when I went up there this summer, so I’m linking to the article.

NY Times’ Mark “The Minimalist” Bittman on how to be even more minimal in making holiday party hors d’oevres, if that’s possible. If I could cook (or would bother), this might actually be fun to do.

NY Times’ Roberta Smith on the Matisse exhibit at the Baltimore Museum of Art.

And, on politics (since I didn’t resist linking to the NY Times on Joe Biden) – an interesting NY Times article on Bill Richardson by Jodi Kantor. I do admire him (putting aside the Wen Ho Lee debacle back when Richardson was Dept. of Energy Secretary) for having so much experience in politics; whether that’ll lead to much in the primaries remain to be seen.

And, last but not least, an unusual but fitting slide show on guys in Santa suits and other winter scenes to Christmas music on Slate.
