- 70:30 Ce matin j'étais de bonne humeur. En passant devant ma nouvelle penderie IKéA je me dit: ohhhh je vais mettre mon petit tailleur-pentalon aujourd'hui. C'est un costume d'homme des années 60 récupéré chez Oxfam. |

- je suis dans le creux de la vague. ça fait trop longtemps que j'attends et que j'espère pour finalement ne rien avoir. je veux un homme qui me séduise, qui sache me faire rire et vibrer, un homme qui me regarde le désir dans les yeux, qui soit aimant, qui pose ses mains sur moi. Qui me fasse l'amour avec tendresse et force à la fois. Je veux une belle histoire qui commence par une rencontre de l'attirance, des sentiments. |

- Pourquoi nous complaisons-nous toujours à vouloir faire un drame de notre vie ? Est-ce pour se réjouir plus intensément du jour où les rires viennent sans prévenir, troubler notre morbidité établie ? Qu est ce qui nous pousse à nous intéresser aux drames de nos proches, à théâtraliser nos sentiments de tristesse, nous forçant parfois même à pleurer plus que de raison ? Pourquoi persistons-nous à écouter et regarder chaque jour les cris d une nouvelle guerre, la douleur d une autre douleur, les peines de vedettes ou d inconnus que le drame alors semble sacraliser ? Pourquoi parvenons-nous toujours à alimenter durant des jours ou des semaines un chagrin d amour, alors qu il nous semble que le bonheur d un instant s évanouit presque aussitôt ? |

- Reader James Blakey sends in a fascinating story about Jose Feliciano and the 1968 World Series. Up until now, I had thought the sentiment expressed in Fargo—"With Jose Feliciano you got no complaints"—was beyond dispute. Not so at Game 5 of the Tigers/Cardinals matchup, where the sightless crooner introduced America to the concept of a "non-traditional" rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner. |

- Wow. A Salon article with excerpts from the Enron emails released last week as part of the publication of material related to the investigation of its collapse:[...] the Enron e-mail library posted on FERC's Web site [...] contains a remarkable glimpse into the culture of Enron -- how the family of Ken Lay lived large in the glory days, how Tom DeLay and other members of Congress used the company as a veritable ATM for campaign contributions, how Enron plotted to place employees in the Bush-Cheney administration, how company executives almost obsessively followed the investigation into price gouging during California's energy crisis, and ultimately how Enron employees suffered when the company collapsed. |

Another year passed ("You're older than you've ever been/And now you're even older/And now you're even older/And now you're even older...", TMBG), but it was a good passing, just the same.

- GateWatch We luckily avoided frequent use of the word "plamegate" for the Plame/Wilson CIA leak affair. However, where the Americans are learning, Europeans are picking up stupid habits. Two observations in the wild just today: The Guardian calls the controversy over British Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith receiving taxpayer money for his wife's secretarial work "betsygate" on the online frontpage. Dutch Prince Johan Friso, second in line to the throne, has renounced the throne to marry the woman he loves, Mabel Wisse Smit, after scandals have emerged about her past affairs. |
