A children's story which is only enjoyed by children...

Have you pre-ordered yours yet? The Aristocrat's Culture Clash Live album.

Not your cup of tea? How about Music for Pieces of Wood? (I think this was composed by Steve Reich.)

The obligatory Xmas-related post. This one about Chuck Jones and Dr. Seuss and the Grinch. Did you know that the film was Boris Karloff's last performance before his death?

Have you heard about bulletproof coffee? It's coffee with butter and coconut oil and is said to provide a high-performance buzz that also suppresses your appetite (i.e. weight loss). Of course, nothing's as easy at it sounds because they offer their own line of coffee beans, there are specific types of butter and oil to add, there's a diet plan, exercise plan, etc.

For my DFW friends, a week or two ago the Star-Telegram ran four great articles.

1. A review of the 2014 craft beer scene. 
2. The top 10 new restaurants. (Of which I've eaten at precisely one: Bird Cafe.)
3. The 10 best meals. (On which the inclusion of Matt's Rancho Martinez makes me incredulous.)
4. The restaurants that are no more. (Of which I had visited precisely zero.)
