Friday Roundup: A Whole Latté Love (and Beer)

It all went downhill from there...

Happy Holidays from Twin Peaks: Sure, I’m a big fan of the original song and video, but I’m currently digging the super-slowed-down version of Wham’s “Last Christmas,” which feels like it was tailor-made for a David Lynch film.

Is depression a tax write-off?: About fifteen years late to the party, but I just discovered “My Misspent Youth,” Meghan Daum’s painful personal essay about trying, and failing, to live the so-called "writer’s life" in NYC.

Thoughts after blaming my cold medication, using the term “lower class” rather than “lower income,” and generally sniffling, stuttering, and stammering my way through a recent phone interview: Can you call a mulligan on an entire interview? Blerg. Next time, I’ll write a script for myself and stick to it.
