A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
It's like a random blog generator in here. Don't worry, I get the same impression when reading the news.

Heehee. The first couple of 'graphs of my essay on foreign fiction (Winter 2009 issue of The Hudson Review, out in three weeks -- even in England, somewhere) makes merry with Engdahl and his idiotic comments. I also note that he reminds me of Dr. Frank -n-Furter's long lost twin. Doesn't he though?
