OK, so here we are, back at it. Things have been a bit crazy (so what's new, right?), but I'm ready to make another crack at keeping this thing alive (thanks Mrs. Willard for inspiring this morning's post). Here are a couple of cool things I've come across lately that may be of interest:
Pop Candy is a great pop culture blog that wastes a few minutes of my day each day. Whitney Matheson's job is to explore all the cool stuff that's out there & package it up neatly for the rest of us.
A few months ago she put together this Comics Crash Course that's definitely worth a look, whether you're a comic nut or just a little interested. I've used it to inform some of my comics purchases in recent months, so many of the titles are now on our shelves.
She also recently put together a High School Survival Guide for a worried Freshman reader of the blog. With contributions from readers, she's compiled lists of the "essential" books, movies, albums and TV shows for current high school students. I've actually adapted the book list for a booktalk I'll be doing later today.
That's it for now. Later.

Thanks for sharing about Pop Candy. I may have to add that to my Google Reader, now that I'm paying more attention to it. I'll have to check out the list of essential movies too.
