cooking for dummies @ the White House

Desserts for Dummies indeedy!Stole this from ThinkProgress.

Really, what can you add to this, except to note that the author of this book is the newly-installed pastry chef in the White House.

Good to see he’s got some experience at the job.

somewhere, over the hiccups

Well that will stop them. An amazing little video from nakedrabbit which manages to be cute, wistful, sad, uncloying and profound all at the same time; it’s the dystopian version of Le Petit Prince.

After long struggles, this new film is complete! A two-minute stop-motion music video of sorts, “Over the Hiccups” is part of Negativland‘s new DVD “Our Favorite Things.” Though this film was conceived and executed long in advance, a peculiar and sad coincidence emerged when a friend of the filmmaker’s chose to leave us in exactly the same manner portrayed in the film. It is respectfully dedicated to her.

agenting: the second-oldest profession

Hand Job...well, there could be worse jobs. Like being an agent

Some people take it FAR more seriously than others. As I said on Gawker, there was really only one, but Wylie kept changing his wigs.

A literary agent pal sends along a braggy email from a fellow agent; apparently, it’s been floating around the industry a bit.

From: [lady agent]

To: [long list of colleagues]
Subject: I had to beat off SIXTEEN other agents to sign this guy!

From Defrost Indoors of Bridlepath; well, where ELSE would you go for your Cthulhu versus Little Girl imagery? Got to be a horse blog every time.

Don’t ask questions.

I THOUGHT the ground felt a little slimy
