Catching Up With An Old Friend, The New Yorker

Before going to bed, I usually watch the monologue on The Late Show With David Letterman. The monologue isn't always funny but I'm always entertained by Letterman's  quirkiness and sharp wit. Besides the obvious entertainment value, I learn a great deal about the news from the monologue.

For example, Letterman mentioned an extremely well written article from the NewYorker called, Getting Bin Laden. Essentially, the article details the true life moments of the SEAL team that assassinated Osama Bin Laden. Even though the article is eighteen pages long, the story reads well and is informative, as well as engaging. At one point, I felt as if I was in the helicopter, ready to climb down the speed rope and take out Bin Laden!

If you're anything like me, you'll want to read through the short stories and of course, the award winning cartoons. I was, however, pleasantly surprised by a video on an amazing art project! This particular Dutch artist creates something that is beautiful, inspired and almost spooky. Let me know what you think of Beach Creatures.

Enjoy and be good.

  1. I always press the buttons too many times. Anyway..i want one of those beach creatures...they kinda cool. Although, at first they looked like big bugs, which I did not like. But the dragon one was cool and that random thing was cool too. Today...there was a millipede in my kitchen!! i think that guy might have been inspired by the millipede. I was not tho.
