apropos of anything

You’d think on a day I did nothing but laze around the house, watch The American President for the twelfth time, and make chicken broth, you’d think on that day I’d sit down and write a real post, wouldn’t you?

And yet, you would be wrong. So sorry to disappoint. It seems that when I get a day of downtime, my brain runs off to…. Maui, and I don’t have anything to say to y’all except that maybe the next day I’ll make risotto with my jars full of chicken broth.

Instead, I’m going to let other people speak for me!

Time wants to know if we can save the world by 2015 (I am skeptical), Ben McGrath argues Scott Boras is good for baseball (again, I am skeptical), and Nikki Finke keeps us up to date on the writers’ perspective of the strike (she claims to be unbiased, but I am — you guessed it — skeptical).

Also, if you have photos of Muslims being Muslim? Send them over to HijabMan at Muslim-A-Day so he can spread the love (and technically, the dawah).
