Lots of fun stuff out there recently:

Becca interviews herself about the memoir she's reading (A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius), when its author includes a fake interview of himself as a young kid.

From The Written Word: "I really think it is adorable that my parents still go out on dates." Plus, inspiration from reading On the Road.

Eddie blogs from their phone:
