I really don't think there's a bias against Americans, perhaps American literature. But then again, the comments made about American literature being insular was made by a single academy member, not the academy as a whole.

Have you ever read Berserk? It's not done yet but as of now I still rate it as one of the few works of art that I've come across that feels like an accomplishment to the same extent. It's characters, story and art is all done mind-bogglingly well on a scale which is almost hard to grasp.

Since I've been craving salty things (no comedy, please)  I've lately been eating fried halloumi with chorizo, chili peppers, baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, olive oil and balsamico.

I'm looking for recommendations of older, preferably  foreign pop artists (broad, I know).

I'd watch a movie about those small bands of hardy, feral survivors.

Ugh… meeting Nina Kraviz must be intimidating.

Thanks! Honestly I cant answer that yet, I just took that song from a friends playlist and added it to my "music I've discovered this year" spotify-playlist.

Anyone else excited over the Chiefs successful start of the season? I like Andy Reid more than I probably should.

One day, WE will be the majority: O'Neal will have to start writing his newswires 6 hours earlier.

There's this quote from Kissinger in regards to why there's so much petty fighting and backstabbing in academia: "Because it doesn't matter".

I really like mixing pork with apples.

One word: disengagement

I'm going to go to a friends birthday party this weekend. This guy recently got back after his year abroad in China so he apparently has stocked up on rice wine.

Asobi Seksu - Thursday
Los Galos - Amor Por Ti

Raider Nation could topple al-Assad in a couple of weeks, tops.

I blame my foreignness.
