Now that I have way too much time on my hands, I am going back and embracing important dead tree-based culture that I have not had time to fully enjoy the last several years.
Obviously I never gave up my Buffy comic books, and while I've always gotten a mix of the magazines above I have tended to let subscriptions lapse as I never really had time to read them all. No longer. Sunday New York Times? You bet. Saveur? Yeppers. And of course my beloved Wallpaper. So shiny, so sexy. And so important. Let's take a look at the July issue shall we?

- A story about a new shopping mall in Milan dedicated to design.
- The latest on kitchen remodels.
- Status on the SFMOMA expansion.
- On the last page, pasta with sea urchin.
Oh my god! How did I live without this magazine for the last few years? These are things that as a modern 'mo I need to know!
The travel magazines are just torture now as I know I will never be able to go on another trip again, anywhere. It's OK. I just sit in the bathtub and learn that "Everything I knew about Safaris is Wrong” and that I need to "Get to Know Nebraska." And did you know that Maui is now only the number seventh rated island in the world? I'm dubious but I read on with rapt attention.
Then the food magazines. Garlic Knots with Frizzled Herbs, Whipped Corn Dip with Chili Oil, and of course Fried Herring in Pickling Liquor. What if I had never known about these things because I was working!?! I can't bear it.
Dwell. I have avoided Dwell magazine since my days managing new concepts stores for The Mermaid. I used to find that Dwell catered to straight white people who live above the ship canal and ride their bikes to Whole Foods with their children, and I see nothing has changed. This magazine is more hetero that Sports Illustrated.
I wonder what else I could subscribe to. Architectural Digest should cleanse my palate after Dwell.
Maybe I should cool it with the magazine subscriptions. Right? I probably should be careful about spending money. Right? And I certainly would not want to become a caricature of myself. Right?
Off to go cook those Garlic Knots now.
