My tumblr-blog, is mostly a collection of things I like. Those things being bits of news, photos, trailers and music. For those not on Tumblr, this weekly feature here at my main blog, will mostly just recap some of the things I post there.

• MUSIC: I listened to a lot of Beck’s Information album, and Badly Drawn Boy.
• PHOTOS: I posted pictures from yesterday’s walk in the Lower East Side.  We walked all around the Lower East Side, to the Five Points (which was gloriously unimpressive), and had beers at Spitzer’s on Ludlow and Rivington. I think I want my pre-30 birthday party there.
• BLOG-SHIT: There’s this sweet David Foster Wallace tumble-log, which mostly has quotes, videos and interviews and hard to find pieces from the writer.  Check out this sweet video from 2005.
• QUOTES: I posted a ton of stuff from J.J. Abrams’s issue of Wired, including his piece and Paul Pope’s excellent six page comic.
• LINK: Though my new favorite thing is Choire Sicha’s and Alex Balk’s new blog, The Awl.  Which is essentially just like Gawker but simpler, and not too flashy. I started reading Gawker around the time that Balk, Choire and Emily Gould were on it, so its good to see them doing a similar thing here.  I’d rather get my Gawker-ish news from them than on Gawker.

Oh, also its Wolverine movie week. So, yeah, go see that.
