I get into the New Year mood only after 5 cause the weather gets chilly right after the sunset. But at the day time it's still allowed to wear your trench and wander around the streets while your heels step on the leafs. But it's the 1st day of December so I'm guessing these are...

I bought this book in a library sale on the vague memory that I'd read and enjoyed some other book by Banana Yoshimoto. I don't, in fact, remember anything about that book apart from the author. But that's OK. I started on a new page with Goodbye Tsugumi. And I loved it in a very subtle way. Goodbye Tsugumi is about two cousins, Maria and Tsugumi. They live on the seaside in an old inn....

Hello Idol Stalker readers! I have a bit of announcement to make. After almost three years, I will be leaving this blog. It was the first writing job I ever had and it meant (and continues to mean) so much to me.

I may not have agreed with much what he did while he was the head coach here, but Kudos to Steve Kragthorpe, who took the high road and praised just about anyone and everyone associated with the University of Louisville during his farewell press conference Monday afternoon. I wasn't able to catch the whole thing, but here are a few highlights of what I did see. --"I don't leave here bitter, I...

... fell for the deceit of Claude Monet and his many disciples. I guess it it not completely wrong to say that Monet is to nationhood what Le Corbusier (essay by Dalrymple. Highly recommended) has been to architecture: Megalomaniac, soulless, totalitarian and completely devoid of any humanity. We will enter into a vision of statehood founded on the socialistic ideals of a State that exists for its...
