Its hard living with a smoker because cigarettes are always available for me (yes, I’ve tried getting Ian to deny me cigarettes). So I’m happy to report that I have not been smoking for 10 full days now and I’m really proud of myself.I’m not doing this for anyone (except perhaps my future children and my family and friends of course)…but I’m doing this because I feel like a hypocrit when I puff away on a cigarette, yet I count the amount of servings of vegetables I made sure to eat that same day, along with whether I’ve taken all my vitamins and how many hours of sleep I got the night before, and whether I should go one extra time to the gym this week.

-ne Recently I learned the sad news that my favorite book store in Manhattan, Coliseum Books, is going under. Joyce Carol Oates, according to a recent article (I can’t recall the publication), loves to browse in the mega book chains.I, however, would argue that these independent stores are worth preserving. First of all, for the benefit of the customers, each industry needs small book stores to keep them honest. While used and obscure titles are much more readily available via e-tail, there is a culture of literacy, of sheer of books that the Slate article dismisses. There is value to being in a store where the employees know books and love books.

They claim to have been injured almost every year, in post game riots and on stage, as when Biafra bit off the head of a live wolverine during one show and it bit him back. Biafra claims that that the Wolverines have never actually beaten the Buckeyes and that those who believe otherwise were placed under mind control. Check out their site for more details about their show and the International Wolverine Conspiracy.Some people think the Schembechlers are joking, others take them seriously. I love the Schembechlers because, whether intentionally or not (I’ll let you be the judge), they hold up a fun house mirror to the rabid excesses of the world of college football fandom.Recently, I interviewed Biafra for Penthouse (on newsstands now).

-ne by CalculatedRisk From The Times: Banks told to predict effects of a 40% crash in house prices (hat tip: Kevin) BANKS in the UK have been ordered by financial regulators to assess how they would cope in the event of house prices crashing by 40 per cent. And from the Business Online: House prices most overvalued since 1948 BRITAIN’S housing market is more overvalued than at any time since 1948 as buyers compete to snap up scarce properties, according to Dresdner Kleinwort.The research will fuel fears that easy credit is inducing buyers to pay too much when buying their homes and over-stretch themselves financially.The ratio of house prices to disposable incomes typically peaks at more than six times, the analysis reveals.
