I actually just blogged the other day about the similarities that I noticed between the fundamentalism in Iran and fundamentalist right-wingers in the US.MEPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15484278368390246998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1120249213524553392005-07-01T13:20:00.000-07:002005-07-01T13:20:00.000-07:00Reading Lolita in Tehran, which I am now writing a...Reading Lolita in Tehran, which I am now writing a paper about. It will be what insights from the Writings of the Scriptures (the Wisdom books, history books, etc - the stuff in the Old Testament that's not Penteteuch or Prophets) we can bring to a book like "Reading Lolita" and a movie about similar circumstances, "The Piano."Stasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10864458542635159512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428685.post-1120239068998086502005-07-01T10:31:00.000-07:002005-07-01T10:31:00.000-07:00Lady, I know what you mean.

I'm really interested in the Iran election too.

Thankfully I've avoided most reality TV but on the other hand, there's this blogging thing, and the endless DVDs from Netflix. And the sci-fi from the local library. I tell myself it's okay because the blogs are religious and the sci fi counts as dissertation research...but it's really just giving in to the need to relax the old synapses a bit. And really that's okay. Honestly, how much time can we spend contemplating the mystery without going wiggy? How much time can we spend agonizing over the lostness of the world without losing it? Grab that pizza, get a French movie (unless you can swing that trip to Paris?) and a bottle of wine...and just let it go for a night..."joy cometh in the morning," or at least, strength to pick it all back up again.JTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977180734561873789noreply@blogger.com
