A Blog Written in Farsi Just Linked to Me

I visited your blog and I like it.

I will link back to you.

Thanks for that. I like the Marilyn photo.

Google just told me this is the blog of Yashar ahad Sarami.

I also saw he posted Wilde's "The Ballad of Reading Gaol" on his blog.

So if you like over-the-top Wilde as much as I do, we must have affinities lol.

And you have links to Frank O'Hara, Hannah Weiner, and a bunch of others, Yasher, who are never far from my mind! And I see sexy Alain Delon there too! Great taste in movies and literature!

Google reveals you are actually in Los Angeles although your blog seems pretty cosmopolitan in focus.

See how easy it is to compile a dossier on people now lol!


It's here...

and in my blogroll now.


I did see a hardcore Abu Ghraib photo as soon as I got there.

That is difficult to look at.

And the woman just looks like a total Diane Arbus creature.

The sense of irreality is so strong there.

She seems posed and doll-like. The leash is slack and yet there is agony on the features of her victim. She almost looks like she just materialized in the picture and is wondering where she is.

I was happy to hear one of Obama's first acts would be to shut down Guantanamo Bay.

I think we're entering a new period.

I hope.
