"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!'"

If you are looking for something academic, sorry, I am not in the mood for anything serious.

someone's baby in padua.jpg

Observations: This baby is Italian. I took this picture in the rich shopping area of Padua in June 2006. Notice the bib ready to catch drizzling spaghetti and meatballs with legs. He has a rat tail all'italiano, a smooth soccer stride, and a confident air about him.

someone's baby at the louvre.jpg

Observations: This baby is French. I took this picture in those gardens by the Louvre that start with a T and rhyme with reverie in January 2006. Notice the creepy green chair, the inauspicious black crow, and the Alfred Hitchcock flock of birds. He seems uncomfortable in his situation, and now I ask myself, where are his parents?

i love listening to the little kids talk. counting esp. can be hilarious. i understand how that little frenchie feels - the tuileries can be kind of depressing when it's cold.
