“ In Brooklyn reality had been empty and meaningless - whatever inferior stuff it was made of, meaning had refused to adhere to it … Out there he had been on the edge of serious depression, and worse, he had been in danger of learning to really dislike himself. He was on the verge of incurring the kind of inward damage you didn’t heal from, ever. But now he felt like Pinocchio, a wooden boy who was made real. Or maybe it was the other way around, he’d been turned from a real boy into something else? Either way the change was for the better.
The Magicians, by Lev Grossman.
I’m enjoying my new acquisition. It feels like the first new fiction I’ve read in quite a while, even though I read a few books on my Asia trip. And to add a crazy twist, I got it at the public library. No, really - those places still exist! They have books and computers and everything - and by “everything,” I mean free wifi, conference rooms you can reserve online, downloadable ebooks and audio books, and other good stuff. The library: check it out.

True/False
Kevin Riley is the Jay Cutler of the Pac-10.
Jeff Tedford is the Brian Sabean of the Pac-10.
On second thought, Kevin Riley is actually the Rex Grossman of the Pac-10. Jeff Tedford is the Marty Schottenheimer of the Pac-10.
That’s a winner. I think Jim Harbaugh is the Steve Mariucci of the Pac 10…
rajiv: Grossman finished college with the highest passer rating in SEC history, came 2nd in the Heisman voting and was AP National Player-of-the-Year in 2001, and was a finalist for the Walter Camp, Maxwell, and Davey O’Brien awards. Riley is the Kyle Boller of the Pac-10. Or the Longshore.
So you’re saying Harbaugh will coach for six seasons (four successful, none living up to the promise of the first) in the Bay Area before leaving for Michigan?

New York in Last Place in Happiness Rating

“ All sorts of half-forgotten acquaintances and abandoned friendships reappear in this spreadsheet of potential reasons to feel terrible about yourself … All these people you couldn’t give a shit about a couple of years ago are now these omnipresent benchmarks and counterpoints to measure against whatever you have or haven’t got going on in your life.
I saw this Zac Efron / Jared Leto look-a-like and decided to share one I discovered a few days ago.
Tom Colicchio looks exactly like Cal Ripken Jr.!
rajiv: But don’t all aging, bald, white guys kinda look like that? Like this:
