But,
I can’t get over the fact
That
They’re going to execute Saddam Hussein.
Because. Killing. Is. Wrong.
Um, not that I forgot or anything
*cough*
But here’s a piece I did on the Christmas festivities (the old-calendar, Orthodox Christmas is still ahead, so… there you go).
A gorgeous old building smack in the center of Kiev
Bears the following sign:
(translated from Ukrainian)
DEAR MAYOR
THE BUILDING IS CRUMBLING
SAVE US
My cousin the actress
Gets her clothes cut with a real knife during every performance of “Prologue to King Lear” (for more information, please go here, although it doesn’t look as though they have the info on the new play up yet). If the knife slips…
And I thought writing was crappy.
Doing research for my book
Has been a sobering experience.
In Ukraine, law & order stands on shakier ground than I thought, and I don’t mean the TV show.
But it’s so damn beautiful here though, you tend to forget about these things, at least for a while. And you tend to believe, and I still do, that everything is going to be OK.
