I upgraded to paid Yahoo mail to avoid ads, forgetting that this would not spare me the far more offensive and timewasting news links.
Oodles of stuff I'd pay to not know. Kim Karfloofian finally nails down her jock boytoy. Leering spectres from misspent youth; my God, is Patti Smith still alive?
Today's international headline in re Libya: NATO REDEEMS ITSELF. Oh Yeah? 6 weeks ago they were just bombing to protect civilians, today, children let us dance in the streets because the wicked tyrant is fled; Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
"I can no longer look at the state media; I cannot read Pravda. It is crude, stupid, and full of lies."
I can relate now, Andrei ol' buddy. How's Paradise workin' out? Intercede for this sinner, that I may drink new wine there when you have moved on to circles of the empyrean I shall never reach.
On a humbler level I have found I can read your LJ in my own style. How cool is that? Your words are much more restful against a blue background.
I also bummed a line from GKC as subtitle for my own LJ. Danke.
Browsing archives I see you have prepared Beef Aspic. Food entries always grab me, and aspic has always intimidated me.
I see you also list Nero Wolfe as an interest. I am an addict, must have read some of the novels and collections 20 times. You never post on him.
