metaphorism
- poetry is the art of the metaphor - a word that sets a new perspective on the "tenor"
- irony is the implied metaphor -implied with a smile, and the "tenor" can laugh also
- sarcasm is irony becoming mean

eau de toilette
I have a new toilet seat -a sustainable one - that doesn't make any noise when you flush. How disappointing! What a let down not to hear the water roar following a job well done.

ozymandias
A newspaper is supposed to bring news or new ideas. Passing of New York's glory...?
As to New Yorkers? I don't think I know more than five people whose grand parents were born in this city. They cannot be accused of not having learned from the rest of the world. Maybe the texans in Washington

My apartment is full with old New Yorkers, NYTBRs, Atlantic Monthly-s. Looks like a waiting room. My life's waiting room.

post partum depression
Stupid statistics. What should one understand? Is it the capitalism or the liberty that is not working? Soviet family was better? in the 60th? Brooks should compare with birth rates in Italy? He doesn't even understand that in Russia the grandparents are needed to take care of nephews and nieces not the other way.

frantz - an artist.
Haitian with Scottish last name was a mentalist in his youth. Dated [at least once] the most beautiful girl in Haiti. Killed the rabbit he was using in his act when he abandoned voodoo for born again Christianity. Designed nuclear power plants at downtown firm. During lunch he preached at Broadway and Wall Street. Turned to painting ten years ago. Sells antiques and raises exotic fish and birds. Living proof that the need to perform is a personality trait. Considers himself a chosen Jew. Retires tomorrow to cultivate his garden. And wait for Armageddon.

- Now I can tell. It was your sister that I adored. Her shape, her walk, her smile. Had wet dreams about. Visiting you my hope was to touch her in passing. Making love to you I was fantasizing about her. Her taking a shower next door excited me....
- But I don't have a sister...
- Then who was the woman...

odeur de grandeur
In the current New Yorker a review of a biography of Malraux ends with Yet there is something about him for which only the word “noble” will do. Malraux was the hero of a tragicomic battle that nearly all of us know and most of us lose: “man’s struggle,” as he calls it, “against humiliation.” One of my old heroes that in his old age sacrified his art on de Gaulle's church of grandeur. In his last years he was displaying the humility of a pope...
