A hilarious McSweeney's feature that imagines a literary critic reviewing a resume.

Many of you have probably seen the Domino's commercial that claims people prefer Domino's sandwiches to Subway's 2 to 1. It didn't come as too big of a shocker to me then that Domino's sandwiches all include more calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium than comparable Subway sandwiches. Amazon's Al Dente blog breaks down the nutrition information from each restaurant.

I just found out that one of my favorite kid lit bloggers, Fuse #8, is originally from my hometown - Kalamazoo! She recently went back to tour the main branch of the Kalamazoo Public Library and wrote a great post that features the library and includes lots of pictures. This is the library system that I grew up with - I was a frequent user of the library during my childhood, and when I was in late elementary school my mom got a job at one of the branches. Then I spent even more time there, and volunteered there constantly - shelving books and helping with the children's programs. When I was in high school my mom got promoted and moved to the Main branch (the one pictured) and I got a job at the Oshtemo branch. I still love visiting my mom there every time I'm home, and I loved looking at these great photos and great comments by Fuse #8.
