		<title>Unrequired Reading: July 30, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just because I&#8217;m on a mini-vacation, it doesn&#8217;t mean that Unrequired Reading gets to take a week off! Jon Hamm: too damned good looking to succeed in movies? * * * Kelly Oxford: too damned good looking to be taken seriously? (or humorously?) * * * New York: too damned many employees to count? (Seriously: Make [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dirty Water Dog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m taking Thursday and Friday off and having a mini-stay-at-home-vacation. This morning, I took the dogs for a hike up to Ramapo Lake. I thought the weather was mild, but then I&#8217;m not covered in fur. Well, not as much fur as they&#8217;re covered in. So when we got to the lake, Rufus decided it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movie Review Tuesday: Steroids, Ivies and Comics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Time for another installment of movie reviews! All documentaries this week! Bigger, Faster, Stronger: This is a documentary about the use of performance-enhancing drugs by athletes in America (well, North America, since Ben Johnson’s 1988 Olympics disqualification gets some play). The documentarian, Chris Bell, is a young man whose brothers — one older and one [...]]]></description>

What I&#8217;m listening to: Stankonia, Mind How You Go, Night &#38; Day, and a whole ton of random stuff while I&#8217;ve been incorporating another giant iTunes library into my own.

		<title>Unrequired Reading: July 23, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In honor of Comic-Con, there isn&#8217;t a single comics-related link in this week&#8217;s Unrequired Reading! Surprisingly, dandyism runs in the family. * * * The shamans of the Marine Corps? Sounds a little Men Who Stare At Goats to me. * * * Nothing can stop that Old Spice Guy. * * * Britney Spears, explained. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Movie review Tuesday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;m on a movie-viewing kick for the moment, I figured I&#8217;d write about the flicks I watched over the previous week. I&#8217;d have included them in yesterday&#8217;s What It Is, but it&#8217;d get too long and unwieldy, and take attention away from the all-important gin section of the post. So here&#8217;s what I saw [...]]]></description>

		<title>What It Is: 7/19/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What I&#8217;m reading: Holy Terror: Andy Warhol Close Up, Bob Colacello&#8217;s bio of Andy Warhol. I found that I couldn&#8217;t do much reading on the iPad. The Kindle app is fine, but I was sorta undone by the sheer amount of other stuff that the device can do. I mean, why read an e-book when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unrequired Reading: July 16, 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It was a long, tedious week at a conference, but at least I got to see some friends and got home in time to get you a fresh dose of Unrequired Reading! Enjoy! Air travel sucks. My flight out to Portland this week was less full than most of my recent flights, but the redeye [...]]]></description>

		<title>What It Is: 7/12/10</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What I&#8217;m reading: Not a lot; just some Scott Pilgrim comics. I was kinda zonky all week with lack of sleep, pain from that root canal, etc. What I&#8217;m listening to: Songs from the Capeman, Songs from Venice Beach, and some other songs. What I&#8217;m watching: Shutter Island, some episodes of Louie (wow!), and The [...]]]></description>
