Look busy

October 27th, 2003

Kip has begun the second episode or “fit” of City of Roses. Never before seen material folks! Complete with a snazzy new picture.

His also been posting a little more than he has, including one entry about the the photography of Edward Burtynsky and the matter of shipbreaking. Kip found out about both from one of the nifty magazines we subscribe to called Granta. Some of the others we get delivered are Gastronomica, McSweeney’s, Nest, Cabinet and, naturally, the New Yorker.

Now, as I have already bitched about not having time to read said magazines, I will resist doing so again. Most of these magazines have websites that are very worth while, as do Bitch and Colors, which I try to buy at Reading Frenzy. But in particular check out Cabinet’s this month. it has some fun online writing plus the “Out of Site” links are particularly good, including Maps of the London Underground from 1889 to present, the Sound Mirrors of Greatstone, Kent and Adult Movie Posters of the 1960s and 1970s.

    Sadly, I must let my Granta subscription subside. I never find enough time to read one all the way through, and the cost is just too much, even at a reduced rate. I will probably let my Nation subscription fall by the way side. But that’s because I hate liberals.

    I always suspected–you just make Dubya look too darn cute.

    And at least I have Kip to make sure the magazines get the attention they deserve as he devours text at faster than light speeds.
