I have this friend of mine who always says the wrong thing. I tell her, “I have to go to the mall to buy a new pair of pants.” Her response is, “Oh because you gained weight huh?”

They have the strength to be who they are, I feel I have to maintain status quo.

It is very, very easy not to be offended by a book. You just have to shut it.
– Salman Rushdie

I thought the story about the Israeli newspaper turning over all of it’s departments to poets and writers was pretty interesting. For one day, poets and authors wrote for Haaretz, with the exception of the sports section and a few other articles.

Speaking of that type of style, letting a novice take over an expert position… I see the world in that light from time to time.

I always think about what it’d be like dropping a Victorian in this day in age. That’d be pretty funny.
