Be seen doing the Monday NYT Crossword on Friday

You may or may not be aware that the New York Times crossword gets harder as the week goes on. That's why I recommend saving the Monday puzzle and then completing it on Friday in a public place. BOOYA!

Go ahead. Listen to your "arcade fire". I will remain dedicated to this Chick Corea / Gary Burton album from last fall.

Tonight is a great night to pour a bourbon, crack open a copy of Clifton Fadiman and feel bad about yourself.

Guess show I'm spending Friday night?

iTunes

Regardless of what's really in your iTunes library, don't share anything but Opera and PDFs of classic scientific papers at work.

I'm about to get my Bix Beirderbeck on! WHOOOO!

Protip: Stop pretending to read DKG's Team of Rivals and actually read Carl Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln. Jesus Christ - I'm serious about this. I just picked up a sweet 3 volume boxed set from Dawn Treader for $9 (I think the full deal might be N volumes - don't be a martyr).

Incredibly more readable.
