Well, things are starting to wind down here in Santa Fe, and I'm amazed at all the things that I haven't managed to do yet. I've yet to visit the Santa Fe Opera, I haven't been able to do much hiking due to the fires, and I've been spending so much time in the dining hall that my list of recommended restaurants and bars to visit is getting really backed up. Since I haven't had time to come up with an idea for an actual post either, here are some delightful links from around the Interwebs pertaining to my areas of interest. (Sidenote: My familiarity with obscure corners of the internet is in no way related to my inability to get out in the world and do productive things. So don't even think about suggesting that.)
I want to eat almost all of these. Will purchased a new grill last weekend after our old one crumbled into dust when he attempted to repair it, so now I have a reasonable excuse for making that crispy pork belly.
I've been hatching this plan recently for Will and I to move to England for a brief spell while I indulge my irresponsible fantasy of being a professional scholar. This list of the top 10 pubs in London isn't making me any less excited about that idea.
Speaking of drinking. And books. I'm wondering how Hunter S. Thompson got left off this list. But I suppose the jist of the article is "How to Drink Like Your Favorite Author," not "How to Eat Acid with Murderous Bikers Like Your Favorite Author."
This article is one of the most fascinating things I've read in quite some time. Basically this ridiculous person walks into the Folger Shakespeare Library in DC and asks them to authenticate the most famous stolen book in the world. That he stole, by the way. Madcap hysteria ensues.
Do you lament the disappearance of useless and archaic words from the English language? Don't you wish there was something you could do, as an individual? The Oxford English Dictionary is here to help.
I'm heading home to see Will, the pups, and Dolly Parton before the home stretch.
Cheers!
