man booker international
tony and i went to the man booker international panel this evening to hear the panelists talk about their decision-making process, and answer questions from the audience. i've always been curious as to how these panels work; it turns out they're all different. the man booker international process sounds very organic. the panelists read, and read, and read, and talk, and talk, and talk, and then read some more, all the while whittling down their lists of authors within the guidelines of the prize. i must say that it was fascinating to hear people speak about the process; nadine gordimer said two things that my mind trapped and held - one was a quote from goethe, and the other was in answer to "how on earth do you choose that final winner?" gordimer said that in the end, what they are looking for, is illumination - a broadening, a widening, of understanding, achieved through the written word. the quote from goethe was something along the lines of this: that a writer reaches down, into the depths of society, and what he pulls up he holds in his hand, and writes about that - and it's the technique, the perspective, the positioning that illuminates the handful.
colm toibin said something interesting too, that for me highlighted the electricity of books (or their energy): he said that books are very unstable, because when they are written they mean something in the context of that time, and then as time goes on and we change, the book, the cover, the print, the pages don't change, but they interact with society and the current context of time in a different way, so they illuminate different things. it reminded me of how elastic writing is. and of course, through being human, how the writing of homer and socrates still resonates today, within an extremely different context of time.
here's the current shortlist for the man booker international. WHERE IS DAVID MITCHELL?
when david mitchell is finally recognized for being one of the most innovative, creative, and shattering new writers of our century, i will finally be satisfied. the only thing is: he'd better be recognized while he's alive. and i'd like to be alive too. at some point, i am going to get so fed up with stupid panelists that i will do what it takes to get on that panel and fight tooth and nail to give him the recognition he deserves.
dammit.
(they probably won't let me on the panel because they'll sense my secret agenda beforehand. that won't stop me from trying, though).

di.fm & other things
i've been listening to the "chillout" stream on di.fm for a while and i really enjoy it. the ads are far and few between and the music choice is pretty good for the most part.
today i was surfing the web and found an interesting article on kottke.org that i posted to my facebook profile. the article focuses on the creation of the new term "hyperlink cinema" - where the term came from, what it means, its context, and representation. most of the films mentioned in relation to hyperlink cinema are films i've seen and been fascinated with, primarily because they remind me of the very forward-thinking, globally-focused, most truly creative writer i've met (between the covers of a book) for a long while: david mitchell. if you've got time and are game to start a new novel, start ghostwritten. it's mitchell's first book, and it's a masterpiece.
examples of hyperlink cinema for those of you who are wondering:
crash
babel
syriana
memento
you get the idea. interlocking web-like narrative.
hey, it was only a matter of time :)
P.S. we bought toys for the cats we are looking after shortly after they arrived - a long fleece string on a plastic rod and four squeaky mice. one of the cats loves the mice and plays with them for hours before hiding them. i suddenly realized (after retrieving said mice from under the couch, his favourite place to hide them) that he's really on to something. because after i retrieve the mice, it's like he's getting a present ALL OVER AGAIN.
pay attention to the cats, people. pay attention to the cats.
haaaaaahahahahaha no i am NOT going to hide my mac on myself. are you crazy?!
if i don't get any more suggestions it's gonna be macbaby.
i'm just sayin'.

alexander manu is a pretty interesting guy. toni and i heard him speak last night at the rotman school of business; his lecture was entertaining and i was fascinated by his sophisticated use of powerpoint :) we got his book, which i am now reading. i am always at cross-purposes with these things - it's mainly the business lingo that turns me off - but i must say the core ideas are very thought-provoking.

thought
the older i become, the more beautifully wrought narratives break my heart. be it film (wong kar wai) or fiction (david mitchell), these creations pain me, for the infinite courage and energy that is demanded to shape these stories in face of the daily drudgery of life.

bodily ills
- not from the consumption of kidneys masquerading as brains though. ah hana, i was feasting at a restaurant on bay street, and being a rather innocent new carnivore, i had naïve thoughts regarding the misnomer "sweetbreads". i pictured tiny toasted breads drizzled with a bit of honey and olive oil, perhaps some fresh black olives to boot, accompanied by flat pasta and pesto. instead i got brain-looking clumps and sweet tomato sauce.
please don't look at me askance, if i'd known the real origin of sweetbreads i would never have ordered the dish - in my new carniverous state, i am finding lines of politics i lacked completely as a self-appointed vegetarian (at the age of seven) who detested the texture of meat. i hate eating anything from baby animals. i will leave it at that, as i can feel my laptop misting over with tears already.
in other news
possible sappho hiatus
the beloved toni has come down with The Flu and a Complication: Ear Infection. as such sappho has assumed the role of nurse, a role filled equanimously by the aforementioned toni for many months prior as sappho's immune system tried to prove it did not exist. as such poor toni is taking Almost but not Quite Lethal Amounts of Tylenol™ and Antibiotics (10 Days). i am worried about his fever and hoping it will break in the next day or so. but i might not be able to update, for i am a Nurse and a Fundraiser at the same time, with a grant due this friday.
good things do come from complications
due to being under the weather, toni is watching lots of bbc television shows rented from bay st. video and by the end of the night - when his headache gets worse - i read to him. which means, to my delight, i am finally sharing diana gabaldon's stories with him. we are in chapter 4 of outlander, and i must say i am thoroughly enjoying reading this tale aloud. and toni, of course, is loving the story.

dear tulip, thanks for the feedback. turned out i didn't have to do anything to the code itself - i published a post using the IE browser, and lo! the format and font worked. bizarre, but very gratifying. it looks pretty, no?
