So Long, CBR... →

Roman Polanski arrested in Switzerland. →
Woah.
What I love about street fairs.
The fact that I can get a bunch of great books for nothing. Today’s grab at Oktoberfest: Richard Price’s Lush Life, James Ellroy’s American Tabloid.

Yes, I’m totally the sort of person who will keep WONDER BOYS on the DVR for weeks at a time. Upon realizing this, someone has ganked my dvd copy of the movie. I should hunt down and slaughter this person.

The Today Show has a seriously fucked up sense of how to start the day. Mackenzie Phillips is on this morning, and do you really think I wanted to start today hearing about that shit? I didn’t care to read the story in the first place, but do you think I want to hear about it at 8am?
Eject.
I love Tumblr fights. →
They’re better than Real Housewives of wherever.

Last week's notes.
DAILY PLANET: I talked about the Levitz method of storytelling and how it relates to Deadpool. Reviewed Bored to Death, and wrote a ton about Paul Levitz, and DC Entertainment.
At the Flickcast, I reviewed some books.

I think I’m the only football fan in this bar that is rocking the geek/sports fan look. Wearing both a Buffalo Bills hat and a Doctor Who t-shirt.

What a fucking dick move, Kanye.
thegreg:
(via notthatkindagay)
Biggest dickhead move in history? Totally lost all respect for him after that one. What a fucking asshole.
First of all: that was staged. Second of all, you had respect for Kanye in the first place?

David Foster Wallace's article on September 11th. →
Titled “The View from Mrs. Thompson’s”:
Everybody has flags out. Homes, businesses. It’s odd: You never see anybody putting out a flag, but by Wednesday morning there they all are. Big flags, small flags, regular flag-size flags. A lot of home-owners here have those special angled flag-holders by their front door, the kind whose brace takes four Phillips screws. And...
