I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

He'll be at Tussaud tomorrow

Too late, he was already in Musée Grévin.

Sua Emittenza popularised Pierino movies (not exactly the best of what the commedia erotica all'italiana had to offer)  in France, when he had a channel back in the late '80s/early '90s, la 5. Back then he was in good terms with Mitterand.  :P

Maybe the tifosi of Milan A.C miss him, though not for the end of his ownership there.

I'm genuinely surprised at the amount of respect and decorum on display in my social media stream, from even my most lefty Italian friends.

I think some do  :wacko:

Cormac McCarthy is dead. 


 Blood Meridian disturbed me.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

There are people who genuinely believe Trump was a competent President and still love him...  Why would you be surprised about Berlusconi who at least was competent at being corrupt and rewarding his allies?

 :(

I thought that The Passenger was so self-indulgent that I didn't bother with Stella Maris.  The first book in 16 year and McCarthy decides that characters, narrative, and plot are unnecessary so long as the language is clever?

Loved a lot of his earlier stuff, though, and at least respected the works I didn't love.

I only read The Road. Bit grueling to get through.

There's people who believe the world is flat so of course there'd be some.

But... More time passed in Italy and it's more of a democracy where you aren't forced into a red or blue team shouting match. Also the cult was less developed in his case.
Still. I was mostly joking. You do get thatcher fans afterall.
