Cloudy day

A rainy, slightly chilly Monday here, and not much to distinguish it beyond that. I started reading the last book in Charlie Huston’s “Joe Pitt Casebooks,” which is about as close to excitement as the day got. I was sure I’d purchased a copy of the book a couple of weeks ago, but I couldn’t find it anywhere last night. So I logged on to Barnes & Noble’s website and put a copy on hold. There’s a store a few blocks from my office, so I figured I could go pick it up on my lunch break. Which I did, only to discover, on my return to my cubicle, that the reason I couldn’t find the book at home yesterday…was that I’d left it in my desk. So now I have an extra copy that I need to return.

See, I told you the day wasn’t very exciting.

Monday various

  • I may have discovered a reason to visit Indianapolis. [via]
  • I have the feeling the real Ray Bradbury would be absolutely horrified by this video.
  • A Victim Treats His Mugger Right. So shines a good deed in a weary world. [via]
  • Journalism Warning Labels. Reminiscent of the Fake AP Stylebook. [via]
  • And finally, Scott Tobias on the new Nanny McPhee movie: “The last thing a movie featuring a belching black crow needs is gravitas.” Well said.
