“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.”

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (The Little Prince)

One of my favorite quotes ever.

Oh hell no.

Oh hell no.

Short stories.

I just finished reading “Nocturnes” by Kazuo Ishiguro and…

It just feels incomplete.

“Nocturnes” is a collection of five short stories centering around musicians and their love for music/their love in general [Right up my alley, no?]. In my (illiterate) opinion, all of the stories are written beautifully by Ishiguro. Each moment is captured onto paper in a way that seems no more than appropriate for each of the settings. But when it ends, I’m left thinking, “…That’s it? After all that, that’s all you had to say?”

Do I just not get the function of the short story? Worse: Am I so Disney-ified that I need perfect, final endings for everything?

“Of course all life is a process of breaking down, but the blows that do the dramatic side of the work - the big sudden blows that come, or seem to come, from outside - The ones you remember and blame things on and, in moments of weakness, tell your friends about, don’t show their effect all at once. There is another sort of blow that comes from within - That you don’t feel until it’s too late to do anything about it, until you realize with finality that in some regard, you will never be as good a man again. The first sort of breakage seems to happen quick. The second kind happens almost without your knowing it, but is realized suddenly indeed.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Dungeoness Crab season in SF!

"The truth hurts."

AT&T just lost it’s case against Verizon Wireless (not surprised) - Good job on the judge for denying the TRO. Seriously, what a ludicrous complaint: “Our customers can’t discern ‘3G coverage’ from coverage in general. Wah.”

Like, really?

Check out Verizon’s legal response to AT&T though. Ouch:

(You can find the whole response here. It’s a pretty interesting read…For a legal document, that is.)

Also…Shouldn’t there be a comma after “true”, or am I just being too comma-happy?
