They just posted an interview with Craig Thompson on the site. Please, go read it. And then either buy or find a way to read "Blankets." If you are a romantic, or ever have been, or have ever been broken-hearted, that book will make so much sense, in so many ways.

Hugo Chavez to submit to a recall election, probably.
I would think this a great idea, if the US did not have their small office of global corruption, the National Endowment for Democracy. That is a CIA run non-profit that donates millions to countries to skew elections. The CIA had to stop giving the money directly, so they established this to look good. Now, it...

I couldn't sleep last night. That's what I wrote, except in the most beautifully poetic language ever. Try to imagine it.

I just read your post from dec 31 about npr stuff about hugo chavez.
It never ceaces to amaze me. a. the fact that most u.s. citizens couldn't acuratley name what continent venezuela is on, or b. who Allende was, or where chile is, or even anywhere south of mexico.
The only thing that ever made me more cynical about the u.s. government than learning about the history of south america and central america was learning about the history of interactions between the u.s. government and the native americans.

saw your post on aoife's page and just wanted to chime in. the revolution will not be televised is awesome!
it does a fine job of illustrating how the media keep us from knowing what's going on (like us stateside americans from knowing who hugo chavez is, for example.)

My days are becoming increasingly rediculous.
I have my alarm set for 9:00. I wake up at 11:00, sit around half naked until I need to go to my volunteer training, and then get dressed.
Sometimes, I eat. Sometimes I shower.
But I'm getting paid unemployment for this? Wow.

You know that friend of yours? The one who is so hot you have to use your hand to close your jaw? The one that is sexxy, but you'd rather be friends with, though your gut doesn't understand that?

I heard, on NPR today, some fatherfucker professor speaking about the US's greatest foreign policy challenges for 2004.
Hugo Chavez was high on the list, for he is "an authoritarian, anti-democratic president elected democratically." They wonder how the US can find a way to sway the vote against him in the upcoming recall.
WTF are these people thinking? How is it that they can be...

Well, I missed the SG Holiday Party. Too bad.

Voislav Perovski and his family worked around the clock Sunday and Monday for what will be their busiest day this year.
With more than 100 dozen orders completed and shelves at The Family Donut brimming with assorted jelly-filled doughnut treats, the Perovskis seemed ready for the rush.
Today, the Perovskis and other metro-area bakery owners brace themselves for customers in search of preserving a sweet tradition.
Fat Tuesday is also known as Paczki Day (pronounced poonch-kee for the uninitiated.).
For 20 years, the Perovski family has sold the doughy, sweet treat on Fat Tuesday.
Their bakery in Hamtramck specializes in doughnuts and paczki.
"Our filling is homemade. We use several kinds of flour and fresh eggs," said Aneta Perovski. "This is a family-owned business, so we take pride in making the paczki."
With flavors including raspberry, lemon, strawberry, pineapple, blueberry, cherry, custard, apple, apricot and plain, several customers beat today's rush by purchasing their paczki Monday.
However, the Perovski family sees the day as more of a Polish tradition than as a day to pig out.
"There is a large Polish community here, and this is their day," said Aneta.
"It is the day before Ash Wednesday and the last sweet thing before Lent."
