I have a quote from her poem "March" that I found in The New Yorker hanging up in my cubicle at work. It starts "Nothing can be forced to live". I meditated on that when I went through some painful things early this year. I might want to read more things by her, and I'm not usually a poetry fan. - Kamilah Gill
Been watching Lost on ABC online; awful interface, full screen isn't actually full screen, but picture quality is pretty high. Hulu has a great interface, but not quite as good resolution. - Nick
Ah nice, Karim. Yeah, I think New Yorkers would simply reverse the california-centric map, but it would be pretty similar over-all... with maybe a nod to New England as a place to go when the leaves are turning..... Not sure how Texans would see the rest of the country.... perhaps they don't even bother thinking about it. - Nick
ehhhh... Einstein was a genius, *the* genius of the 20th Century, but I honestly don't know if I'd grab random quotes from him and try to make life lessons out of them. He cheated on his wife, married his first cousin, pretty much abandoned his son Eduard in the loony bin, and no one even knows what happened to his first child, Lieserl. In short, he was a fallible human being like the rest of us. Even if he is responsible for the greatest scientific discovery made by Man, I'm not sure I want to model my life after his. - Karim
sometimes the most fallible people can have the most productive things to say about how to avoid it..... they have the most experience. - Nick
@karim even if you remodel your life, it would hardly ever help you to make humankind more knowledgable as Einstein had done ;) - silpol
karim, obviously you have failed to learn the lesson here: date a nurse. - edythe
lol... I was in the hospital years ago, and fell madly in lust with my nurse. I did ask her to marry me, but she was already taken. She did say it was the best offer she'd had in years, though. "true story," as they say... - Karim
