Friday links!

  • One of the first things that drew me to McSweeneys were the Reviews of New Food. Scroll down for the review of Dwight Yoakam’s Chicken Fries.
  • Simple Mom has a great list of Twaddle-Fre Books for Preschoolers. After reading this, I pulled out our copy of “The World of Pooh” and started reading it to the kids while the played.
  • I always get a kick out of it when the Fug Girls provide “transcripts” for the photos they feature. The JLo chronicles are some of my favorites.
  • Carol at A Second Cup made me think (and scared me silly) in Vision for the Future.
  • The Inhabitots make really cool silhouette T-shirt.
  • Linda at All & Sundry shares a few things she’s learned about diet and fitness. She’s whipped herself into incredible shape over the last few years, so I’m going to take what she has to say about this subject pretty seriously. One thing in particular really struck me: “It feels amazing to treat your body like a partner instead of an enemy.
  • The daughter of Mark Rothko discusses the art cheats who betrayed her father. It’s a sad story.
  • Martha Stewart wants to see your blog! She’s having a contest. The prize? A review of your blog! Kind of an odd prize, but it’s sort of neat anyway.
