more on Julian Barnes...

Fri, 16 May 2008 16:39:00 -0700

After going over to Julian Barnes’s website, I discovered that he happens to have a new short story that is published in the May 19, 2008 issue of the The New Yorker. Read the story, titled “East Wind.” I’m printing it for my bus ride home.

Also at The New Yorker website, you can read other works written by Barnes, including “Trespass” [Fiction] and “The Past Conditional” [Excerpt from Nothing to be Frightened of].

“Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren’t. I’m not surprised some people prefer books. Books make sense of life. The only problem is that the lives they make sense of are other people’s lives, never your own.”

- Flaubert’s Parrot by Julian Barnes.

Save some fuel

Fri, 16 May 2008 15:23:43 -0700

Perhaps you’ve noticed that gas is expensive! Really, really expensive*. Here are some tips on things that not-smart people might have told you to do in order to save gas, that are actually totally made up. For example, tip #3: use premium fuel. I am one of those people who fills her car up with premium gas because my owner’s manual recommends it. Some friends have agreed (like my brother-in-law) and some have disagreed and say my car doesn’t really need the premium stuff. Is my car lying to me?

* despite our complaints that gas is too expensive, the price we pay at the pump is relatively inexpensive compared to other countries, especially Europe. We’ve gotten so used to the ”cheap” prices here that when they go up, we freak out. Could our low fuel taxes and prices be from our love of mobility? The freedom to drive whatever wherever whenever? (woah tongue-twister).

“If George Bush and John McCain want to have a debate about protecting the United States of America, that is a debate that I’m happy to have any time, any place and that is a debate I will win because George Bush and John McCain have a lot to answer for.”

I kind of want this cookie popsicle pan. I think it would be really, really fun to make cookies-on-a-stick. I wonder if the pan could be used to make mini-cakes as well or if it would be too narrow at the top (forming a wedge-like cake). Then again, maybe a wedge-like cake would be kind of cool. I could stack the mini-wedges on top of each other, layered with frosting in between…making a cake tower. Oooh. DORK!!!

saraliz:

barack obama is on tv (we’re watching cnn). john edwards is going to endorse him. they are both in my hometown grand rapids, mi. my family is there. my mom said there’s a line out the door.

YAY hometown! For Grand Rapids being the conservative city that it is, I am excited that Obama AND Edwards are both there…at the same time!

Also, Edwards’s endorsement is great news.
