Starbucks axes sandwiches as part of fix - Yahoo!... →
I think it’s just the breakfast sandwiches. Bummer. I thought they were good.

The Farnsworth Invention
lfarm said: Tonight I saw The Farnsworth Invention. It was truly phenomenal, unlike anything I’ve seen on Broadway in years. The dialogue was so refreshing and clever, easy to follow but full of intelligent details. Loved it. I decided to wait around and meet the two leads after the show. Jimmi Simpson stole the show. And afterwards, was unbelievably kind and gracious. I will definitely go...

Only in New York...
from peterwknox: Eli Manning and fiancée Abby McGraw ate dinner at Il Mulino in the Village (he got a standing ovation when he left). At the Plumm, Tracy Morgan ordered two bottles of Champagne, ripped off his shirt and started dancing on the banquette, seemingly lost his credit card, found it in his pocket, and then asked a waitress if he could father her baby. - NYMag’s Intelligencer
Oye Como Va? →
Pretty good if you root for the Mets. ESPN is reporting that Johan Santana is (close to) coming to Flushing to close Shea and open Citi Field.

Peter not Patrick
Just want to apologize to Peter Knox, proprietor of his always entertaining eponymous tumblr, for mistakenly crediting one of my many reblogs from him to Patrick Knox. Sorry, man.

HBO: In Treatment →
I just watched the first two episodes and they were phenomenal. Intense, funny, uncomfortable, enlightening, frustrating, mundane at moments … just like real therapy. It’s going to run every weeknight for 3 weeks, we’ll see the same therapist see the same patient, one each day. Ooh, and Friday, he goes to therapy. I haven’t read any reviews yet, so I don’t know what...
R.E.M. Going Out On The Road This Spring →
The really interesting part is that Modest Mouse and The National are opening up. With Johnny Marr in MM, it’s almost sorta like seeing R.E.M. and The Smiths 20 years after it would’ve been truly mindblowing. But this could certainly be good too.

I’m not a big fan of the Super Bowl. Even in years, like this one, when my team is in it, I hate the hype, I hate the commercials (not-so-big-secret - most of the best work hasn’t been there for years) and I usually hate the quality of play in the actual game. I’ve always thought of it the way serious drinkers regard New Year’s Eve: amateur night. But one thing I’m a...
A PB&J for the Planet? - Tara Parker-Pope -... →
“Can peanut butter save the world and boost your health? Some people think it’s a start. The Sierra Club magazine this month highlights the Web site www.pbjcampaign.org, which claims eating peanut butter is a good way to go green.” via— macsmiley Anyone who knows me, even a little bit, knows how closely this news strikes to my heart.

Team Clinton's Demoralizing Weekend
I think it would be fair to call this past weekend a pretty bad one for Team Clinton. All of last weeks race stuff, the pictures of puffy, exasperated Bill, the pictures of puffy, sad Hill, the loss in South Carolina (not a huge surprise, as Bill reminded us (even though we didn’t ask) even Jesse Jackson won South Carolina) but the total stomach punch of the whole thing has got to be the...
The importance of experience
My friend Nabeel has a mighty fine post today about the role of experience. It’s so well written that I don’t want to copy and paste a single line. Go read it. — reblogged from bijan I read the piece and I agree that it’s worth your time.

Your friends and family don’t call anymore, they just check your blog. Your breakfast of choice is toast, cornflakes and Google reader. You think “I wonder how this’ll look on Flickr?” when posing for photos. And other gems… — jonathandeamer
