for the most part, I've been getting my news on the current conflict (or wholesale slaughter, whatever) from NPR & newspaper articles I've downloaded to my Palm Pilot, altho yesterday I happened to catch a few minutes on FoxNews of one of Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon briefings--several minutes into it he paused for a few minutes to unhinge his jaw & swallow, whole, a frantically squealling piglet, while the press corps waited patiently. as no one has made any mention of it, I can only assume that I'm the only person on the face of the planet who was a wee bit disturbed by this.

Questions:
1. Have we gone fucking insane?
2. No, seriously, HAVE WE GONE FUCKING INSANE?

Ive had some kimchi ramen that was pretty good stuff.

Sucks about the substandard handjob...

"The time has come", the Walrus said,
To talk of many things:
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing wax -
Of cabbages - and kings -
And why the sea is boiling hot -
And whether pigs have wings."

Whatever philosophical authority the Walrus may have, I'll beg to differ.
Of course I think that *sealing wax* is a subject that can't be avoided in the present circumstances. But I'm also convinced that it's of - at least - equal consequence that your next issues - dear ratsonjulia - deal with the following topics:
* the colourful and crowded Howrah railroad station, in Calcutta*;
*Gustav Klimt*;
*a nuptial chamber*;
*the well-known penchant the Russian literates indulge in, for quoting -as soon as the oportunity is given to them- illustrious Russian writers, declaiming in the most musical manner the polysyllabic vocables of their native language*;
*a building kept sealed up since 1933*;
*a ghost-writer who uses to itinerate on a motorcycle with a side-car*;
*a thin cotton blouse* and
*a tooth merchant*.
With the sealing wax, it counts nine themes (the same number you did suggest to me, by the way... why did I write "seven"?)... how inspiring do you find them?
