It says there are no comments. Who knows why these things happen? In any case I will try to write a new comment.<BR/><BR/>Today while I waited for my espresso drink, I read The 50th issue of The Believer and the cafe employee asked, How have you been?<BR/><BR/>I answered by talking about The Believer. Then I flipped open to page 55 and asked, "You know of Charles Burns?" He did not but said, "It looks cool," referring to the art on page 55. And he's right. It did look cool. Page 55 and all the other pages of the issue are pretty pleasant to the eye.<BR/><BR/>I'm totally tuned out to mainstream news. I know very little about wars, elections, droughts, etc. I could tell I'm on detox diet after working daily for mainstream media for a year but really it's just that I'm choosing to be irresponsible. <BR/><BR/>But I don't want to tune in, say for example, the <I>LA Times</I>.<BR/><BR/>Why?<BR/><BR/>Because it's hard to be let down by your newspaper.<BR/><BR/>I'm just not willing to take that emotional risk right now.<BR/><BR/>So as the irresponsible individual that I am, I offer you this suggestion. Buy an issue of The Believer and don't take one look at the <I>LA Times</I>. Then read it as you eat a tasty vegetable, a product of your News Resolutions<BR/><BR/>xo,<BR/>zoeZOE RUIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124259059792848593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30987872.post-76091421158972513032008-01-15T20:28:00.000-08:002008-01-15T20:28:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.ZOE RUIZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124259059792848593noreply@blogger.com
