It is not clear why Hillbrow residents have taken to seeing in the... Posted by xtop at 07:50 PM \| Comments (2)

And since many sons naturally step into their fathers' professions," Volod'a tells me, "experts claim Zugdidi is a virtual 'school of pickpocketing.'"... Posted by xtop at 01:45 PM \| Comments (0)

	bad news: the movie Shot 20 minutes ago in my living room, using my Casio QV-3000EX digital still camera. The movie feature produces crude lo-res video that looks like a bootlegged snuff film. But there's a quick and dirty end result that's fairly small and can be fairly interesting. I'm gonna mess around with it some more, see if I can't make something interesting out of it all.

	they said the same thing to pound From Vinny: Alright, the best I can remember it: In Hemingway's allegedly non-fictional account from "A Moveable Feast" he was rumored to get some big award from a Parisian literary journal. He was excited or as excited as he could get considering he was Hemingway. The editor of the magazine took him aside and pretty much assured him that he was a shoe in for the accolade. When he casually mentioned this... Posted by xtop at 09:50 AM \| Comments (2)

	when the pot calls the kettle Talking politics with White House Chief of Staff H.R. Haldeman at Camp David in August 1972, Nixon switched the conversation to two Republican governors, Reagan of California and Nelson Rockefeller of New York.
