Really want to support Julian Assange but just can't....For he has the face and attitude of a guy who hangs out at the yacht club bar saying he knows everything.

The Nicolas Cage Long Hair/Bad Movie Theory The Theory: Nicolas Cage has never done good work while sporting hair extensions on his balding head. The Evidence: Here are some notable horrible films featuring Nicolas Cage with long hair: Hell Driver, Season of the Witch, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Bangkok Dangerous, Next, Con Air, Ghost Rider (I am counting the fire around the ghost rider’s head as long hair) ----------------------------------------------- Here are some decent films featuring Nicolas Cage with short hair: Moonstruck, Wild At Heart, Birdy, Raising Arizona, Leaving Las Vegas, Adaptation, Bad Lieutenant 2: Port of Call New Orleans -------------------------- Now to be certain, there are plenty of horrible films featuring Nicolas Cage with short hair. But one thing is for certain, there are no good films with Nicolas Cage with long hair. Con Air is not a good film.

I can still see your shadow walking: a tribute to Thea St. Omer

April 7th, 2015 Yesterday a friend informed me that a classmate of mine at NYU, Thea Saint Omer was found dead in her shop in Syracuse. It is a blunt fact. It is awful news.

My Fabulous Visit To The Bibliotheque/Discotheque

Paris -- It has been on my mind for while now. A building that I first thought was a misprint, or at the very worst a joke at public tax payer's expense, but as it turned out, through further exploration to be as real as the hand in front of my face.... Yes, in Paris' strange but loveable fifteenth arrondisement, home to old ladies with poodles, Korean restaurants and retail shopping, on the banks of the Seine where sixties architecture runs a little too rampant for my taste, lies a mystical place that has combined the sexy, sultry sounds of Diana Ross with a helpful and streamline modern lending library serving the public need. Yes and that place is.... The BIBLIOTHEQUE/DISCOTHEQUE.... At first I played the skeptic. What could possibly be gained by combining a public library with a discoteque. But then, after reflection in the light of the disco ball...I thought to myself.... What couldn't be gained? Combining a sacred place of learning with a boogy woogy get down environm
