Enough!\"enough\"<\/p>\n

My geisha cacti are playing Sarah Failin and John McInsane this morning. We have a few more weeks to put up with this team. (Previously Fear and Trembling<\/a> and Memoirs of C. Geisha<\/a> – Andy W and Glenn G)<\/p>\n

Some readings I’ve done recently…..<\/p>\n

Kenneth Baker interviewed Zizek<\/a> <\/p>\n

Kenneth Baker interviewed by Timothy Backwater<\/a>, and Part II<\/a>
\n(I’ve always enjoyed reading Kenneth Baker’s reviews on art at the SF Gate, now I got to see what he looked like and learned about his background.)<\/p>\n

Laughing with Kafka<\/a> by David Foster Wallace<\/a> (This one remind me of Nabokov lectures to his student on Kafka)<\/p>\n

Nabakov on Kafka – Vladimir Nabokov played by Christopher Plummer
\n<\/param><\/param><\/param><\/embed><\/object>
\nPart II of Nabakov on Kafka<\/a><\/p>\n

Michel Houellebecq directed a film called A Possibility of an Island,<\/a> starring Beno\u00eet Magimel (He was in The Piano Teacher, had a daughter with Juliette Binoche). <\/p>\n

Right Again: The Passion of John Stuart Mill<\/a> (by Adam Gopnik at New Yorker) Delightful<\/strong> reading, J S Mill’s wife was a feminist and so was he.<\/p>\n

This one from Michael Berube<\/a><\/p>\n

That one isn\u2019t good for you
\nThough he may want you too
\nThis one wants you back again <\/p>\n

Oh, and this one would be happy
\nJust to love you, but oh, no, no, no
\nThat one won\u2019t be happy
\nTil he\u2019s created a huge new
\nhealth care bureaucracy <\/p>\n

This one would be John McCain
\nWould always feel McSame
\nIf this one gets you back again <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And finally don’t pass up on this Dickhead<\/a> whose life was cut short tragically, unlike another dick-cheney-head who is hiding in his bunker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
