I am off work until January 4, so it's a great time to have that dinnner we were speaking of. At the moment I'm just faffing about the house reading Manovich and Middlesex and baking chocolate cake. It's wonderful. Let me know when you get back into town? My mob is 0417603652. And you're reading Mr Frank! Do tell me what you think - I've read portions of of 'Commodify Your Dissent' and a few random Baffler's but barely made it through the second chapter of 'One Market...' before someone stole my copy. Anyway....cyu then, and best wishes for the christmas gig, Rachel O'Reilly. Hi Melissa,

I'm sorry ... don't know what for. Anyway, now a lengthy quote from Tim Rogers, of www.largeprimenumbers.com "Writers think that it's a sign of the creative times that the characters are foul-mothed in their hatred of Christmas, and finally are foul-mouthed in their embrace of goodness. I think it's very rude of anyone to think that people with more than one emotion in their hearts are so shallow. I say: leave Christmas alone. People can change for better to worse on any day. Revelations go by, pleasantries come to pass, and people see things within themselves or others that reflect an image of peace, or love, and gradually, the broken-down begin to solve their heart's puzzle one piece at a time until everything is in order. Some people end up good, and some people end up evil. I've seen it happen either way. Let's just stop assuming it always happens on Christmas. When you can do that, you'll find yourself left with Christmas as an excuse. It's not a day to feel depressed about not having a family. It's not a day to feel horrible and alone about not having that perfect boyfriend or girlfriend, or husband or wife, or children. What it can be is a day off, and a nice excuse to play a videogame or watch DVDs with the heater turned up in an apartment that isn't yours, while the owner of said apartment is far away at her brother's wedding -- for three days." That's daammmmnnn right. Keep Christmas real. Mwah, Xian The best potential that this season has (for those of us without kids, perhaps) is to actually give in to that one genuine gesture of peaceful being… enjoy the danger of a moment of magical thinking.
