Oh, yes- Parabola! I love that one. I discovered it (in dusty stacks) at my great-aunt’s house in Chicago one winter.
I need to find more of those… If you happen to recall the name of that uppity gardening magazine, do let me know!

My Turkish friend was indignant when he discovered that the American pronunciation of his homeland was not his “toor-kyeh”, but the ridiculous “tur-kee”…more indignant still when I sent him a picture of the bird!

Cabinet is also my favorite- it’s really a pop-up book for adults. Parabola is also quite fascinating- and you can find stacks and stacks of back-issues at hippie garage sales. There’s an awesomely snooty gardening magazine as well…can’t remember the name offhand…a friend simply calls it Uppity White Bitch Quarterly…the name stuck.

p.p.s. ok, that would be wattle. (sorry to clutter your comments up. wish there were an edit function – I’m no good w/o spell check.)

p.s. oops, I meant “Shambhala Sun.”

btw, SO glad humans don’t have waddles like turkeys. (but I do really wish we had tails.)

“a giant feathered cannonball shot through the woods.” LOL. I love that.

I have a serious magazine addiction. I can’t actually afford everything I want right now, but when I’m flush, I like Harpers & Lula, the New Yorker, Utne Reader, Shamballa Sun, Vogue (American or British) and The Sun. I like the Economist because the articles are short, smart & to the point & there is an undercurrent of sharp British humor. (And you can read it easily on the bus – unlike the NY Times.) Index on Censorship is really good & I’d love a subscription to Filament magazine.

I have a weakness for cooking mags – my favorites are Cooks Illustrated, Fine Cooking, Vegetarian Times & Saveur, but I also like Bon Appetit, Clean Eating & Eating Well. I really wish there were a magazine like Fine Cooking devoted solely to Asian (South & East) & Middle Eastern/North African cuisines.
Mind you, I am not actually that good a cook, but I sure do love to read about food & look at the pretty pictures. Food mags are so cozy!

Oh! Oh! I do love that Neko Case poster – care to share the artist? I was quite obsessed with “Maybe Sparrow”, to the point that I unfortunately made it my morning-cell-phone-alarm…now as you can imagine, I associate it with a 6 AM wake up and quite despise it! Not your fault, Neko – I am clearly a dunder-head.

By strange circumstance I also take copies of Lucky, and Women’s Health for free, but the 2 that I subscribe to are Rue Morgue and The Fortean Times:

Oh that animation is lovely. It reminds me..have you read about the new Disney movie? It’s drawn by hand, for the first time in ages, it’s set in New Orleans, and it actually has black characters in it. ! And that buggy wunder-cabinet…amazing. Incidentally I have a big crush on Cabinet.

Oddly enough I also have Lucky by accident. My Mama thought I’d like it.
We also get Make. Though I think Craft is more my speed. So I read their blog.
