The Week in Links (Books, Facebook, Cupcakes)

Cupcake Kebabs

Monday, I saw David Byrne at Prospect Park. He danced. He sang. He wore a tutu.

I finished reading Danzy Senna’s family memoir, Where Did You Sleep Last Night? It is excellent. Now I am reading Ben Greenman’s latest novelPlease Step Back.

Wednesday, I went to see Food Inc, a powerful documentary about agribusiness and the commercial food industry. I highly recommend seeing it and getting involved locally.

So I was one of the reported 500,000 people who got their Facebook URL at midnight Saturday. It’s kinda silly, but I have it. http://www.facebook.com/nichellestephens [Note: You have to be logged in for it to work.]

Saturday afternoon, Cupcakes Take The Cake held its third annual picnic. It rained off and on but we ate cupcakes and cupcake kebabs!

Sunday, I went to see The Hangover and the movie theatre was packed. It was funny, but they never explained how the chicken got into hotel room. I think that was “stunt casting”.
