Finally saw a Chicago coyote in the wild. (Technically it was in Lincolnwood, but I think that counts.)

Just checked the news. Maybe I should make this a double feature? Is GARFIELD any good?

It's very good. But it's not like it hinges on some huge secret. It's just held back for awhile, and for reasons that make sense when you see it.

Yes. It always makes me nervous to encounter an unleashed dog. Especially since, sure, your dog might be good all the time but mine sometimes aren't?

Briefly considered watching LAWRENCE OF ARABIA on my phone and writing about it, inspired by Ted Sarandos' son's (alleged) viewing preference. A cooler head prevailed.

An item from a specific moment: When IN RAINBOWS first appeared as a pay-what-you-want download in 2007, Radiohead did not include a cover. In the brief window that followed, fans created their own cover art. I do not know who made this, but to my mind, it is the proper album cover, now and always.
