So I started a Tumblr thingy. Looks like a simple way to integrate a lot of things. We’ll see.

Also started Shelfari as a way to look smart and worldly by the books I’ve read.

I recall a monologue or essay by David Sedaris or David Rakoff on how to appear more worldly and erudite in public than one actually is. David, whichever, advised when one was speaking of a profound book or writer, like Don Quixote, and is asked if one has read it to reply, “Well, not in English.” Assuming your companions are sycophantic and shallow that should usually be a stumper, and preclude having to divulge any more info which you do not know because, of course, you haven’t read it in spanish either.
