Adding insult to injury

I overdrew my bank account by $2.48.

Come Out and Play

I was doing some research and happened across an interesting bit of information: Using Walter Hill's 1979 screenplay, there is going to be a new Warriors movie.  The Warriors 2010 is going to be set in L.A.: "A Los Angeles gang is framed for killing the boss of the city's top gang during a time of peace, sending them on a dangerous cross-city mission to get back to their home turf alive."  (from imdb)

I don't know how I feel about this.  The Warriors will always be from Coney Island in my book.

Some notes

Interesting item e-mailed to me today: CD leaves AKQA in Solidarity/Earns Badass Points. (For those of you who don't know, I worked at AKQA my last six months in NYC.)

Interesting thing I have been doing in my spare time: Math. I am tutoring algebra & test prep a couple hours a week & now find myself scoping out math websites for good sample problems, etc.

Recently read: William Allegrezza's Fragile Replacements, Marc Beaudin's The Moon Cracks Open: A Field Guide to Birds & Other Poems, and Ed Park's Personal Days.

Yes

I am back in Michigan & very busy & very behind on e-mails and other personal items like paying bills. I have a Friday deadline and am trying to upload my San Francisco pictures now, but I wanted to point to two things on the interweb:

1.) Ron Silliman wrote a glowing review of one of my favorite books from 2007, Joseph Lease's Broken World.

2.) Justin Sirois guest-blogged at Sweetney. And he's single.
