Once upon a time Eleanor Roosevelt and Amelia Earhart met at a White House dinner. Eleanor had always wanted to fly a plane so they left the dinner, still in their formal gowns, and commandeered a plane and flew around a bunch. This true story is the subject of this delightful children's book. And, of … Continue reading What We’re Reading at 1 AM

David Cronenberg: Digital Exhibition. Around midnight is when I usually get excited about prop-making. Have you ever seen Naked Lunch? Don't watch it right now- it's not a "start it right before bed" sort of movie.  Instead, check out some sick mugwumps.
