But this piece on American fascism needs to be read by everyone.

I am on emotional autopilot. Really October of 2006 has been one of the most emotionally draining months I’ve ever lived through, and it’s not even half done yet. I feel like I need to lie low and not go out on any limbs for a while.

2006 as a whole hasn’t been a joy ride, but at least now I’m in NYC and hopefully things will start to stabilize. I sort of think they already are. But it’s hard to tell. It’s always hard to tell.

I’ve been thinking more about what I said a couple of posts ago. I might need to stop blogging. Every seed of a good idea ends up in a blog post here or elsewhere, instead of in a book or in a paper. On blogs, it doesn’t work for me. I’m old enough now that I start needing things to work for me.

For another quote to be added to my “quotes” file. Ummm, not that I’m such a big nerd as to have a quotes file. (But I don’t have many from Warhol yet, so this one has to go in.)

“They always say time changes things, but actually you have to change them yourself.”
