healingmirthAnd the spam posting continues (sorry!) but I've cleared out all sorts of random notes today!
Sometimes I make notes in memos on my phone when I hear interesting things on NPR. Usually I forget about them completely until I sync my phone with my computer, 6 months later. Two of the three are quite recent, this time!
A "restored edition" of Hemingway's A Movable Feast was made by his grandson, Sean. The writer Henry Alford asked some fellow writers to share their own revisionist editing fantasies. (Studio360, NPR)
Like fanfic, only not! One of the writers advocates changing the names in Anna Karenina so that they're less confusing to modern American readers. Or, as I thought at the time, "High School AU!"
Nick Hornby on the Leonard Lopate Show (WNYC) talking about his new novel, among other things.
...which I mostly remember because he talks about sending lyrics to Ben Folds for him to make into songs for his next solo album. I am not enough of a fan of Nick Hornby to go OMGYES about this, but I am intensely curious to see what will become of it. Here's what Nick's said on his blog. Apparently Ben started recording this past June.
JoCo on The Sound of Young America... from June: "With being super comes terrible sadness."
I don't even know what he was talking about, now.
I missed most of the interview, anyway. The podcast is free from iTunes, and presumably elsewhere. Am lazy, but after the quote I had http://www.maximumfun.org/ which is the website for this show and other podcasts.
Also, in my random notes from when I saw Transformers 2: "Railgun!"
And, in conclusion, a random quote from Russel Brand on some radio show on a pop station. In a discussion of his outfit:
DJ: what would you call those?
Russel: Testosterousers. I don't like to call them leggings because it's very effeminate.
