A mixed bag

Catching up on a miscellany of things today, none of which will feature in this week's pub quiz I imagine (other team-mates are picking up the slack, reading the Examiner).

Anyhoo, there's a nice interview with Toni Morrison here. And who knew there was such a thing as Lebowski Fest - yes, that's right, a celebration of all things dude-ly, with a healthy scattering of White Russians along the way. Wonder if there's something similar for Diner, where you sit around with friends and talk about Presley over sandwiches and debate nuance vs gesture until the dawn...

Here's something I meant to post weeks ago - a glimpse at Loy Krathong, held on the full moon of the 12th month in the Thai calendar. Like so many great winter festivals, it seems to feature flowers and candles and themes of renewal and hope. Looks magical.
