make it easy and i'll hold it against you
tastespotting is interesting - you see a bunch of photos from different recipes and blog entries about food, and you can click on what looks interesting. though a few pages' worth of clicks got me to an entry that used the word "nomsworthy" - not a neologism that i enjoy. let's just leave the nom in nom nom nom, shall we?

apparently myspace thinks i'm a "big beautiful woman" and facebook believes i'm interested in interracial dating. *eta: and that i may have a gambling problem. have i been playing too much scramble?

david simon and tom fontana will be working together again, i guess for the first time since homicide, on a project about the manhunt for abraham lincoln's killer. i'm guessing it was a lot more interesting than i'm imagining. anyway, yay!

hmm, weekend. so far there's a possible housewarming, a slip & slide bbq, the new year are playing though i haven't made up my mind about that, and hopefully a few other things may happen.

p.s. you may have seen the washington post chart illustrating mccain & obama's tax plans in comparison. but this version includes row height adjusted to reflect the population of each group. not a surprise, but a good illustration.

It was fairly interesting. Booth was hunted for three days and was eventually shot inside a barn that had been set on fire to smoke him out. A doctor who set his injured leg was accused of being part of the conspiracy (he may have been, but historians differ) and was sentenced to prison. There was a conspiracy to murder Lincoln and members of his cabinet, but the other conspirators failed or chickened out. Booth expected to be hailed as a hero for his action (he envisioned himself as a modern day version of the tyrant-assassin Brutus from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar), and was shocked to find that he wasn't. It's a fascinating story!

now that you mention it, the burning barn story is familiar. it does genuinely sound interesting. i always especially enjoy it when it turns out that a story i never gave a lot of thought to turns out to be a lot more complex.

you know, i think my jfk-assassination-obsessed ninth grade history teacher may have taught us a few basic things about the lincoln assassination, but i've forgotten them along with most of the facts i learned from him. though i still have a couple of jfk facts i whip out when faced with a warren commission apologist.
