Apparently I'm not "real" enough for the cyber-bullies, these sluggish grad-school nihilists who actually have time to engage in online arguments about the "reality" of things they see online.

Brit? K-Fed? Say it ain't so! She's such a sweet girl, and so talented! She deserves love just like everyone else, and I was sure than man with the stubbly beard was the one. No, The One.

I know it's been more than three years, but I have been busy. I am still busy, but it occurred to me that it might be fun to do again, and so it goes again.

"I never see myself as a Beautiful Carrier of People's Projections. I represent everygirl. People can identify with me when I'm true to that. When I'm not true to it, I'm really, really bad."—Rachel Griffiths, 1998. [3]

July 21, 2002
Each week, as Sunday morning builds to high noon near the Water Tower on State Street, a group of Jews amass to protest the Israeli government’s policies as directed by General Ariel Sharon. Sharon has led an aggressive campaign to ensure the security of Jews victimized by Palestinian suicide bombers. The group, Not In My Name, feels that Israel has been sheltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942512589381776132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518174.post-785315952002-07-03T21:54:00.000-04:002005-12-06T11:45:33.223-05:00Golden ShowersThe Schools’ Sick Fetish for Water SportsThe Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision on June 27 legitimizing the random drug testing of any of approximately seven million high-school students who engage in extra-curricular activities is a novel way to address the lack of funding available for such activities.

I was more concerned about the noise my wallet-chain might make than the sounds of debauchery coming from the screen. There was a button to jump from one channel of pornography to another, and a round dial that adjusted volume in awkward increments, allowing a limited range of options: either silence or loud enough to make even me, a professional journalist researching sheltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01942512589381776132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3518174.post-766347562002-05-16T17:43:00.000-04:002002-05-16T17:47:45.000-04:00Glenn Gould: the Equalizer
It was 20 years ago last March that Glenn Gould (1932-82) died from a stroke in his home of Toronto, and so this seemed a good time to write of him. Anytime’s a good time to write about Gould, because he was a genius.
