'Let's Explore': David Sedaris On His Public Private Life : NPR:

babesofnpr:

This is why you love public radio.

GROSS: What did you write today?

SEDARIS: I was on tour a few weeks ago, and I wrote this thing in this woman’s book, and I don’t know, apparently, she got upset about it. But I meant it in a good way. I must have just misunderstood. We must have misunderstood one another. And I hate the thought of anybody being angry at me like that, but… I mean, really, what I wrote in her book, it’s the filthiest thing. It’s unbelievable. Really, you cannot get any filthier than this. And that’s what I kind of liked about it, you know, as a book inscription.

You Are My Wild is a talented group of 14 photographers who publish a weekly portrait series of how they see their kids.

We talked with Meaghan Curry one of the founding members, and she gave us a little insight into how they started:

“Right after the new year, and in sort of a creative lull, we were brainstorming about starting a project to force ourselves to put down our phone cameras down and pick up our other cameras more regularly…

Ironically, Instagram is the common thread between us. It is where we found other people documenting their children in really loving, beautiful and respectful ways.”

The creator of the acclaimed AMC series talks about his protagonist — Don Draper — as an aging existentialist looking for meaning in a chaotic world. He says the show’s sixth season, set in 1968, is situated in that historical moment for a reason: to reflect a traumatic passage in Don’s life. via Matthew Weiner On ‘Mad Men’ And Meaning

Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner talks to Terry Gross about Don Draper, Existentialist:

I feel like Don is like a lot of existential characters: brave in the face of death but more deeply, deeply afraid of it — and trying to find some purpose and some control over it — because he is aware of the sort of meaninglessness of life. … Let’s say existentialism is a young man’s game. As he’s getting up there, he’s saying, like, ‘Why do I keep repeating this? Why am I in this process?’

Someone remind me next year to have a 10 Things program on Shakespeare day.

I love this idea so much.

True or false: 10 Things I Hate About You is this teen generation’s Ferris Bueller’s Day Off or Sixteen Candles.

I haven’t listened to it yet, but the word around the office as it goes through the editing process is that tomorrow’s interview with Mad Men creator Matt Weiner is prettay, prettay, prettay amazing. I believe it.

Season Six of the show premiered April 7. It’s not an overstatement to say David Bianculli was giddy about it.

Just hit “Play.” It’s so worth it.

NASA:

In the three years since it first provided images of the sun in the spring of 2010, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has had virtually unbroken coverage of the sun’s rise toward solar maximum, the peak of solar activity in its regular 11-year cycle. This video shows those three years of the sun at a pace of two images per day.

David Sedaris tells Terry Gross about the nasty thoughts he writes down in his journals:

But, see, that’s the thing about a diary: you’re just sitting down and you think, “God, I saw so-and-so yesterday and I hope my hair never looks like that,” and then if you died, I just think of how hurt they would be to think you spent all this time criticizing them but you weren’t — it was just the thought that passed through your mind.

… I don’t know that I would be hurt by something like that I just worry that other people would [be] if they were to read negative things about themselves. I say that to [my partner] Hugh. Like, “If I die and you start reading my diaries and you see something bad about yourself, keep going because there’s some really good things about you in there too, you just have to skim forward a little bit.”

Over at The NOOK Blog David Sedaris, whose new book is called Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls, names his Five Favorite Unusual Book Titles. They’re pretty funny. Also, charming and poetic. For example:

3. A Passion For Donkeys by Elisabeth D. Svendsen

This is a non-fiction book, but the title would work just as well for a novel or poetry collection.

In other news: It’s SEDARIS DAY on the show tomorrow.
