What's With That House?
I can no longer watch "What's With That House?" on HGTV. The host is just too much. It's too bad, too, because I like the idea of such shows (Extreme Homes, Rezoned, etc.).
Quote of the Day
"History was written quite wrongly: a few battles and treaties,
but all the most important things left out...."
"Where for example would you find a single word about the twelve
thousand girls in Europe who fell in love between five o'clock
and a quarter to six on the afternoon of 20 September 1976?--in
what annals, what diplomatic documents, historical or
geo-strategic maps? And what about the sorrow of eleven
generations of bald men between the end of the Middle Ages and
the beginning of modern times? It was that kind of thing that
was the real stuff of history, not that other squeaking of rats
reeling home from some grotesque evening out, the tedious pastime
of Lilliputians!"
- Ismail Kadare, Albanian novelist, in his novel The Concert.
