I thought it seemed like something i would love, too. But i loathed it! There was no narrative drive, no momentum. The characters had no life at all! It seemed to be about the book design and the swirly writing. I recommend Angela Carter's 'Nights at the Circus' instead.

Messy, soulless, lacking in subtlety, and with far too many literary devices.

(The book, not your review ;P)

Wow...

I don't blame you for being embarrassed as I probably would have done the same thing knowing me.

Haha, good stuff never the less :-D

That was very well told... all the elements of a fantastic story, including the fact that it is true. :) Oddly touching.

Well, we think alike, i really loved the movie, and i'm really happy that disney it's starting again with all the magic i remember from the past, I'm such a disney Queen too. And i hope we can talk when you'll be in Medellín.

Love this story! I love how palpable and vulnerable Victor is. I want to read more of the Betty stories!

Hmmm...I think I would want to talk to a really good reference librarian before I published on hat one.
But it sounds really cool!

The anti-anxiety medicine xanax is wholly capable of facilitating your war against anxiety as it is the most widely recognized medication to treat anxiety disorders, especially generalized anxiety disorders and altogether Xanax can treat a whole lot of anxieties related to panic disorders and depression. Before you move on to administer Xanax and treat your anxiety, get hold of Xanax tidbits from the site http://www.pill-care.com

The color of the eggs depends on the color of the feathers. White chickens produce white eggs. Other colors (Black, Brown, ?) produce brown eggs

I had no idea you were still writing this! Shame on me! Just wanted to say I love that you put your apartment building (and, by extension, YOU) in the artists' projection of the Trump monstrosity, there.

It could be your link on GYNite (how I got here) or a visitor added your blog to StumbleUpon.

That second photo, isn't that is shot of Groucho Marx, dating from his younger years, when he had a traveling circus act?

Like rowdy tattoos on a bathing beauty the graffiti surprises, but after a moment of contemplation, it humanizes what had been mere pleasant caricatures.

I have always loved that library. The winding staircases. And it used to be a women's prison and Grace Paley was locked up there for anti-war protesting! It used to be my regular liberry back in the day.

Sad about the baby bird. I learned that a mother bird will sometimes push a sick birdlet out of the nest, so the healthy chicks can get a bigger share of the limited resources. Sobering thought.
What a magnificent building! How rewarding it must be to be able to see in manifest form your grandfather's legacy. I would love to have a study carrel way up on the top floor by a window overlooking a patch of green down below.

I have a love for the French. I love digging through all that Gallic crust to find the soft, creamy center.
