a little now and more to come

So I'm waaaay busy and can't really set aside enough time to do my review of the Brand New concert today. Argh! Between a phone interview which I had to prepare for, the dance performance that took a big chunk out of my evening, my successful efforts at procrastination, and my now-becoming-desperate need to start studying for Pompeii, I really don't have time for much of a post (note though that I'm doing one anyway...).

So here's what I've got for you:

Absolutely stunning weather photography.

Boing Boing's having a fiction contest.

Essay from NYT on literary vegetarianism.

And yeah, sorry, that's all for you. I promise I'll get to more meaty stuff... eventually?
