The Unicorn etc.

I read a book by Iris Murdoch. It was called The Unicorn. I doubt anyone remembers, but I started it over the summer. It was built around some idea. Sometimes I wish they would just state the idea on the first page as a sort of epigraph and then go on to write the book. Because I don't have have the patience to sit and figure out really what

I heard that lovely Nelly tune yesterday, just a bit of it, when someone drove by the apartment with the sound in the car turned way up. It made me want to dance and made me think of being in your room junior year with that strobelight, even though the song wasn't out yet then.

House for Mr Biswas is mad funny if I remember correctly...It's Naipaul before he started being bitter in print...

I like Dirrty too, but it is ALL they every show on MTV Europe. That song is on every five minutes. Along with Las Ketchup's, The Hey, the Ha.

I'm sorry all you Germanophiles, but I'm coming fast to the conclusion that German food is not so good, and may be bad, even. I have yet to have a meal that has been presented in an attractive way or that is wonderful...

How dare you!

No, I didn't mean that. I think I only like it because I grew up eating it, so it's not so much that it tastes great, but it tastes good and familiar.

But gosh, try some desserts! Those are always good!

Well, you'd think that wouldn't you? I'going to try the desserts again. The first few were really not good, but most European countries make good desserts so there has to be somthing. I mean English food really isn't that hot, but they know how to make good scones and tea sandwiches and stuff. So there must be good German dessert, I think.

But these sausages and things...

The Turkish stuff here is pretty good though...
