machines hassling the many

My review of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: Black Dossier is up over at Salon. (Site pass required.)

Thanksgiving this year was very low-key—just a couple of houseguests—but I did augment the usual-suspects dishes (the stuffing and green-bean casserole were brought by the fabulous Christina) with a very tasty plantain-and-greens stir-fry from my newest cookbook acquisition, Yamuna Devi’s Lord Krishna’s Cuisine: The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking. Tonight I augmented the leftovers with a similarly successful curried cabbage recipe from the same book.

Very pleased to see a kind review of Reading Comics in the new issue of Print magazine—by Annie Nocenti, no less! (Comics readers may remember her as Ann Nocenti, who wrote Daredevil and Kid Eternity, among others.)

I have managed to entirely avoid leaving the house today. Oh, Scrabulous, you’ll be my downfall yet.
