Interesting reading...

The "Broken Heart" of Rogers Park

So, I picked this up on Eric Zorns weblog, over by the Tribune, and found it compelling reading about the things that go on in this city of Chicago; specifically in the neighborhood directly to the north of me: Rogers Park.

In the works: A 2004 year in review (to be published before the need for a 2005 year in review), a recap of Not a Birthday party, and a site redesign. Woo. We have lots of excitement building here at contrariangrammarian.com.

Jeremy Wagstaff's LOOSE wire

Jeremy Wagstaff's LOOSE wire

Note to self: look up the moleskine hacks. I've been carrying one of these tasty little notebooks in my jacket for a while now, and am always mildly afraid of writing in it because it's just such a nice little book.

Mirror.co.uk - EXTERMINUTE

Mirror.co.uk - EXTERMINUTE

A topic near and dear to my heart; the new Doctor Who series starting up.

Quote of the day from the Daily Mirror:

Dr Who executive producer Russell T Davies said: "It's very difficult to employ persons of restricted growth when, as our producer Phil Collinson says, `Bloody Gringotts and the Chocolate Factory are filming at the same time'."

So, apparently contrary to the showbiz phrase: "In the UK right now, There are no little people, just little parts".

Cockeyed.com: An Unsolicited Commercial Love Story

Always something entertaining at Cockeyed.com - in this case, it's a saga of epic proportions of a Spam queen.
