Posting this frequently counts as spam from me, I'm sure. Anyway, ever since I read the highly amusing "Troy in Fifteen Minutes," I've felt a strange desire for an Odysseus icon that says "Hi, Boromir!" despite the fact that I'm not a big fan of either LoTR or Troy. I don't know why this should be true, but it is.

As justification for this entry, John Keegan and David Sedaris )

Sedaris's work shows that "kind" doesn't need to be soft-focus.

I have a hard time reading a lot of people others find funny because of the underlying meanness I read into their work. I'll have to try Sedaris, now, if he's different. Thanks. :)

I find that a lot depends on his delivery, so if you find that you don't enjoy reading him try listening to him at least once - - my god, that voice.
