"He was a reader and a critic, not a writer. Another way of saying that he was a coward."
Malk I-B by ~ daemontreu on deviantART"Live now. Life is short. Time is luck." - Miami Vice (2006) World is crazier and more of it than we think,
Incorrigibly plural.- Louis MacNeice "Good art cannot be immoral. By good art I mean art that bears true witness; I mean art that is most precise." - Ezra Pound "If the Swiss can get up there, never mind the altitude, the first thing they'll build is a restaurant." - M. Desiree G. Living is no laughing matter- Nazim Hikmet
HERE BE:
This blog currently serves as my brain-dump, the locus of my online identity. I don't compartmentalise my politics or interests, fandom or "real" life, ethnicity or gender. (The most I'll do is screen it.)
I consider this as giving fair warning.
FRIENDING POLICY:
If you find your interests and mine coincide, feel free to friend me. (Or to defriend me, if you find they don't. I don't take that sort of thing personally.)
I don't automatically friend back. If I actually read every blog I was interested in, I wouldn't have any time left over to post.
I welcome comments, suggestions, or links to anything you think I might be interested in. Do me the courtesy of signing your comments, and I'll almost certainly reply.
