TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Sunday, October 05, 2003
I've read The English Patient some time ago, didn't completely understand it, found the characters annoying, but found this one line so captivating - it goes something like, "That night I heard a voice... only a voice." (and I loved Sound and the Fury too - I wouldn't mind reading it again if anyone would like to suggest it for the next TASP book club project - I have no right to do so as I still have not read Library of Babel)
And Olga, I think you have a penchant for odd symbolic events like 12:21 because you look for them yourself - I still find it so enchanting how on that once and future day of TASP you were wearing that gray dress you had arrived in. The poem, Olga, was e.e. cummings...

Thanks for the recommendations - I'll be posting them on the webpage...

Sorry, I'm causing ellipsis inflation today. On a completely different note, I think we ought to have some virtual form of snapping - if we can do facial expressions (in either direction) with keyboard art...
