Joey and I started making news posts in early 2008, but we didn't have archives for them until now! So I'm going to repost here some of my old links here: Society in Decline:Intrastate Commerce - yet more evidence that the USA (in general) has done a better job holding on to great midcentury signage. Year 2008 in Photographs - the Boston Globe's The Big Picture has a three-part best of series, this is part one. Foodpairing - teaches you how to combine your foods in new ways, AND it has suggestions for substitutions. The Selby - beautiful photographs of beautiful people in their beautiful homes. Like the best decor magazine you've ever seen without all the ads for flooring. Früli - the fruitiest beer I've ever drunk. Free Rice - show off your vocabulary AND feed people. Corey Arnold - the coldest, loveliest photos you'll ever see. Ali Bosworth - a photographer who lived in Victoria when I was there. Maybe the opposite of the above shots, Bosworth's tend to be warm and drowsy.

My new novel Overqualified is out. They have some kind of crazy fancy inside paper because they were printed at Coach House. The book is the perfect size for hollowing out to use as a secret cache for condoms and cocaine (or, let's be honest, for nintendo DS games and candy.)

Also, the first reviews are showing up online. But do these top Katie West's review, which begins with, "Everyone I know wants Joey Comeau to be inside of them," and ends with, "I hate you Joey Comeau. I hate you and I hate your stupid book."

I suspect they do not.

The Overqualified book is now shipping! - If you have some A Softer World-inspired work, upload it to flickr and tag it "aswfanart". Take a look at what other people have made here. - We also have an RSS FEED, or an LJ FEED, if you'd like. And you can now read the feed on tumblr
