"the idea of marriage no longer struck him as fantastic. they would travel, they would go to italy, to the east! and he imagined her standing on a little hill, gazing at a landscape, or else leaning on his arm in a florentine gallery, and pausing in front of the pictures. what a joy it would be to see that dear little thing blossoming out at the sight of the splendours of art and nature! once she had been removed from her present environment, she would soon become a charming companion."

flaubert is brilliant

sweeeeeet.

for the first time in my lifetime, i have acquired tickets to see both prince and madonna in concert (in the same year ! - within a month of one another). this summer will be pretty interesting. hey mj, get off your ass and get yourself on stage too, brotha. lets round this sh*t out!

ain't nikka costa the sh*t or what? she is amazing. there are more and more surprising acts popping up all over the place. much props. go get em' nikka!

kriheli will be away until friday, late afternoon. going on a short break. if there are any questions, email me and i will try to get back to you shortly.

my new musical obsession is gorillaz - del is the man! i need these diversions. partly because my (new) laptop is destroyed. =( long story... if you care, you can ask whowhatwhenwherewhy?

powerbook arrived (safely and on time). thank you monsieur katerges. you are the man!

powerbook purchased. will be arriving tomorrow, barring yet another episode with postal freaks. fingers are crossed. how come madonna tickets cost so damn much? i love her and all, but this is ridiculous! somebody explain this to me.

his return to paris gave him no pleasure. it was an evening towards the end of august; the boulevards looked empty, and the few people he saw went by with scowling faces; here and there a cauldron of tar was smoking; a good many houses had all their shutters closed. he arrived at his own house: there was dust all over the hangings. dining all by himself, frédéric was overcome by a strange feeling of lonliness; then he thought of mademoiselle roque.

flaubert's sentimental education eluded to being disillusioned by current events and the surrounding environment. couldn't have been more beautifully put to words.

sold my laptop =( now I am shopping for new one. anyone know any good deals on powerbooks? -- damn mci also... my phone has been cut off yet again, and of course, its not my fault.

five years ago today, i graduated from syracuse university. oh my how this english/creative writing degree has taken kriheli soooo far. isn't sarcasm a wonderful twisted discourse? i can't wait till those student-slaves call me and ask me for another donation. they often ask "what is your line of work these days"? kriheli will respond with "i blog." how about a donation my way, you douchebags... since I fed you almost 100 grand for the stupid piece of paper disguised as a degree.

you know, amidst all the chaos of the dotcoms turning dotgones, thank heaven for the best website ever to cheer me up about the morbid subject manner. you guys are the sh*t!

saranya says i'm so proper. blah

ok... computer is back in business after some trouble. saw the mummy returns the other night... and i am still puzzled as to why ancient egyptian pharaohs and gods are being depicted as evil or wrongdoers. are the founders of civilization the bad guys? come on people, we should know better.

damn microsoft (such a fitting name for such a douchy company) has got my emails and browser in a slew of technical difficulties... please stand by.

hallelujah... the camera is here! took long enough. here is the very first photo. in the meantime kriheli picked up the superman box set as well as the newest diversion from destiny's child! ouch/hot! i love beyonce. ok its time to play with all of my new toys. the camera's batteries are chargin and you can expect to see some more photos shortly. at least you got the test photo. woohooo. oh those wonderful toys.
