Great Quote
Andre Gide - "Be faithful to that which exists within yourself."
Also...I have to admit my dirty secret. I freaking, freaking, freaking LOVE Harlequins. Crammed between my David Sedaris, Jonathon Franzen, and the History of Canadian Economics you'll find:
My thoughts? Well, it's CHOCKED full of bad French cliches and expressions, the heroine has the same sense of logic as a spatula, and there's little plot but lots of 'romantic' scenes that border on the pornagraphic. To sume up, I have to say it was one of the best books I've read this year. Perfect braincandy.
Seriously, I love this shit.
I spent years never admitting to it - but something changed in my life. I was working at the uni and I remember being in a meeting where a group of academics were sitting around doing the all time competitive sport, 'How much I don't watch television'.
'I rarely watch television, maybe once a week.'
'When I do, it's limited because I don't have cable.'
'I don't own a television so I wouldn't know.'
'I've never even heard of television.'
I remember my boss, who had her doctorate from Harvard just piping up. 'Well, I do have a television and every single night I come home and watch 'The Simpsons' and I also try to catch 'Southpark' when I can.'.
I think that's when I fell in love with her.
