Dang it, now everyone will know my secret!

I loves me some Rolling Stones. In a perfect world I'd do a documentary about Jimmy Miller and especially his work with the Stones.

so do it, bro

if you work up a gofundme page, i'd donate.

[Mr Noone]

Ah, now, I have never read anything by him. I take it you would recommend him?

I would indeed. Probably recommend starting with "Blindness", about an entire country that is afflicted by a disease which causes blindness. Hints of Cormack McCarthy's "The Road" and Golding's "Lord of the Flies", and a touch of magic realism.

I started that, but never finished. It was part of my "Nobel laureate" project. Most successful was José Saramago; I think I've read everything translated into English.

the only work of his i read was "the cave", was not very impressed.

may try another some day, but not very motivated to try

I was just chatting with an amputee.

It was a good conversation, but something was missing...

[Mr Noone]

Those are two pretty heavyweight comparisons, and I love them both dearly. Thank you - I shall try.

Well he was a Nobel laureate, so I think the comparison is not in a different weight class.

My other favourite discovery from the Nobel list is Orhan Pamuk. But as has been often said, Nobel prizes are a mixed bag. Couldn't get into Laxness, Herta Mueller was a bit of a chore, Imré Kertéz was tough, but ultimately worth it, Elfrida Jelinek I actively loathe.

I liked the Cdn version best.

<Shakes head sadly.>

Why can I never divert people with my cheery Icelandic talk?

It's almost as if most people don't care.

I was diverted. Am I not people?

Blonde Nikita, everyday, all the time.

She'll mess you up.

I wish he'd stop walking and peeing at the same time.

Drumpf?

 

[Aglaopheme]

Drumpf?

Ha!

 

[Jennifer]

Ha!

I read that people keep peeing on his Walk of Fame Star.

(No idea why he has one??)

That's hysterical. I think the Drumph tide is turning. Is it too late?

 

[gypsyTX]

Drumpf?

Might as well be, but no, the puppy. He also keeps stepping in his own shit.

 

[Aglaopheme]

I'm ready for this puppy business.

It's windy and we have a frost advisory for this night, but spring warmth will soon be here.
