Wednesday Hangovers
- Two things: the Incredibly Cranky E-Mail Fairy did not actually show up over the weekend, as you may have noticed by what is not in your inbox (oops), and also I can’t remember where most of these links first appeared to me, as if in dreams. The ongoing mea culpa on both counts. Blame the Mad Men marathon on AMC.
- This WashPost story on a Justice and State Dept. program that rehabs lost-cause dogs into international bomb sniffers is amazing. I read it out loud to Christopher and he agreed.
- Also in the Post, the shooting of the last episode of The Wire.
- George Saunders guest blogging at Powell’s.
- Colleen has a dead interesting post over at the Swivet about the newly six-figured, buzzy writer of a YA fantasy trilogy, Sarah Rees Brennan, who started out in Harry Potter fandom. The next big thing?
- New Tim Gunn show starts tomorrow night! Perhaps this will keep us until the next installment of Project Runway (oh, summer TV, why so lackluster this summer with only The Closer, Mad Men and the occasional sort of okay Top Chef?).
- Fuse # 8 gets podcasty.
- How No Child Left Behind hurts the reading experience of children.
- Gorey & Trek, together at last.
- A new Caitlin R. Kiernan story, "Little Conversations," at Clarkesworld.
- Erin on her writing process.
- Nick Mamatas on the overuse of scene breaks. (I personally think this happens because writing transitions is hard–so get better at it. Anyway, it bothers me slightly less in stories than novels.)
- Alice Boone on newspaper errors, correction of.
