It's friggin cold.
There's a bunch of new magazines that I spotted, but haven't bought or read because I'm trying not to spend money on unnecessary items. (But I did pre-order Virgin: The Untouched History because dammit, I've been waiting a long time for it to come out.)
Radar is back in print. Do they have the funds to actually print for a year? It's still irreverent, but does it have any substance? I didn't really feel like paying the five bucks to find out.
Good is a new magazine "people who give a damn". If you subscribe, the proceeds go to an organization of your choice. They had John Hodgman on the first cover, which is a plus. I've been flipping through the new magazine, and it seems like a very good start - the writing isn't clunky, the subjects are interesting, and the graphic design is lovely and not too cluttered.
Geek is self-explanatory. Articles and interviews about Battlestar Galactica, Heroes, and fan-fiction abound in this. I have not seen the new issue yet. Seems like it'll be interesting, but possibly not nerdy enough for hardcore geeks.
I also forgot to mention that I read Anais Nin's Spy in the House of Love. It was a quick read, and it was kind of weird to be reading it on the train, but it was also vaguely unsatisfying. Maybe I'll read it again when I'm not really rushed.
