Benjamin in love
For today:
"Ordnance:
I had arrived in Riga to visit a woman friend. Her house, the town, the language were unfamiliar to me. Nobody was expecting me; no one knew me. For two hours I walked the streets in solitude. Never again have I seen them so. From every gate a flame darted; each cornerstone sprayed sparks, and every streetcar came toward me like a fire engine. For she might have stepped out of the gateway, around the corner, been sitting in the streetcar. But of the two of us, I had to be, at any price, the first to see the other. For had she touched me with the match of her eyes, I would have gone up like a powder keg."
And:
"The only way of knowing a person is to love that person without hope."

May I bother you to write a brief post on Born into Brothels?
I'd love to have your insight on it and link to it from my blog as well.
BTW: to anyone else who may read this; Sarah has an absolutely wicked fashion sense that would be ignored only to your own detriment.
the more you know....
Why Thank You, Shashi.
Your grasp of fashion is also noteworthy.
Wait! Fashion sense!?! I don't even have clothes on in this picture.
If that's not good fashion sense, I don't know what is.
man that knowing loving hoping quote's a killer. Thanks Ruddy... now I'm depressed.
And as for fashion sense, hell ya, I have the castoffs to prove it.
