It actually was a pretty nice day today, temperature-wise.  Micala’s in sunny California, taking a train up the coast, and Fletch is still in a bag in my “artist’s loft.”  How about some bedtime links?

Here are a couple of awesome pieces:  First, the city becomes “a ghostlike military fantasy world of boundless fluidity, in which the space of the city becomes as navigable as an ocean.“  Second, the difference between Bourne spaces and Bond spaces, wherein “Bourne wraps cities, autobahns, ferries and train terminuses around him as the ultimate body-armor.“

A whale-shaped floating garden that cleans rivers?  I want to go to there.

The convergences at McSweeney’s are always very cool.  Plus, I had the book before you did, so that makes me feel really awesome.

I was going to save this one for the morning, but then I thought you might hork your breakfast all over the keyboard.  Be warned:  Sarah Palin Embryo Ornaments. Yeah, I know.

And the 2009 Lowering the Bar Awards are out.  My favorite?  It’s tough, but you can’t beat the lady who sued because Crunch Berries aren’t real fruit.  Love it.

“The Harder They Come,” anyone?
