In the guest room
Hi gang. I’m spending the week in residence at kottke.org this week. Here’s what I’ve written so far:
- Napoleonic preproduction: On Stanley Kubrick’s never-filmed movie about Napoleon.
- The Beastie Boys, Annotated: A short guide to pop-culture references in the band’s lyrics.
- Fuck you, pay me (Simonides of Keos): The first Greek poet (probably) to write for money and to write poetry that was primarily intended to be read, not sung.
Join me throughout the week for more bunly blockquote goodness.
I wanted to send an email, but couldn’t find an email address.
Been reading you over at kottke.org. I first encountered your blogging there the last time you were pinch-hitting. Just want to say that I thoroughly enjoy your posts. They brought me over to Snarkmarket so that I could read more, where I have come to enjoy Matt and Robin’s musings as well.
I really appreciate the depth of your observations and the fantastic connections you make between things that seem so unrelated. Also just learning about things you’ve read or seen that I haven’t, it’s usually pretty cool.
Keep up the good work. I wish you posted here more often (but you probably have a life).
