While I'm waiting for my stomach to not be a mess so I can go running while it's cool and foggy out
One-Pan Pasta has made the rounds a lot on Tumblr, but it's something I definitely want to try at some point, because anything that both feeds me and reinforces my natural laziness is a good thing in my book.
Different Drum: The power of Linda Ronstadt's voice reflects on a treasure we've now lost, because she has Parkinson's disease.
How to Talk Like Shakespeare is an excerpt from a larger article that I've bought in full on The Atavist but haven't read yet. But it's a look at this Vietnam vet who decided he was going to track down the remnants of Original Pronunciation on an island in Chesapeake Bay, and it sounds right up my alley.
Henry VI Part 1, speaking of Shakespeare -- and though I think I half-heartedly read them once while I was in college, I'd have paid a lot more attention if I'd known that Joan of Arc was involved! (Is that this play? I don't know. But, the H6s! You can watch this one on the site of a War of the Roses battlefield.)
Bush Library Rewrites Katrina Role, for if you want to get seethingly angry on the eighth anniversary of one of the worst things a president has ever let happen to a city.
The Government Took This Man's Raccoon Away Because of a Viral Video -- Oh Vice. (This is actually a good interview.)
Mandy Patinkin: "I Behaved Abominably" is a long profile of Inigo Montoya himself, a role I've come to appreciate more since learning that he conceived of the Six-Fingered Man as the cancer that killed his own father when he was 19.
The Weather God of Oklahoma City -- Look, how could you not want to read this, with a title like that? But yes, it's a profile of the storm chasers on the local OKC weather center, in particular this tornado superstar, Gary England.
Another long read that I need to set aside some time for: Joan Didion's 2000 portrait of Martha Stewart.
Neko Case Talks About Moby Dick, Depression, and Her New Tattoo just makes me love her even more. Did I mention I'm seeing her in a week?
Color Palate Generator seems relevant to the interests of many.
Need to watch this when I have 16 minutes or so, but watch Terry Gilliam teach you how to make his signature stop-motion animations.
