The NYTimes profiles Ted Meyer - an artist who makes prints from scars. Not as creepy as you might think.
Another Banned Book Week has ended, and, once again, I didn't do anything cool to celebrate it (like I always promise myself I will - local authors reading portions of their favorite banned books with a band afterwards was the plan this year. Sigh...Gang aft agley, and all that...) I read that the Marshall (MO) Public Library Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 4, to hear a request to remove material two graphic novels -- Fun Home, by Alison Bechdel and Blankets, by Craig Thompson from the library.

I would like to read about decent places to eat in the OC area. I like Western Pa but I don't necessarily want gravy all over everything.
I do like the coffee shop where Wilson's Real Estate used to be. It's now called 'Spilling the Beans', I think.
I have gone out to Primo Barone's at the airport but the last time I was there I thought the quality of the food had gone downhill considerably.
"You doctors have been telling us to drink eight glasses of gravy a day!" Sorry - alomst everything can be made better with a Simpson's quote... truthfully, I agree with you and almost never eat out around here. I can't think of the last time I had an enjoyable meal in the county...but...I'll keep my eyes open for an OC eatry that goes easy on the gravy and readers, any suggestions for our Anonymous friend?
