Northern Lights said:I reckon he would've been such an interesting fellow to swill sacramental wine together with until the wee hours while trading war stories of unbelievably difficult grammar dilemmas.
oh, my. now i hadn't considered that perspective.
nf: still as fucked up as yesterday, and adding bubu to bubu i'm also totally frenzied because i don't know how to plan the next week (i'd love to stay with my parents and help with some things, but i also have to work and all), and i have to positively kill someone - how do you negatively kill someone anyway?
as for the pope, i know i sound like an idiot, but last night in the gym i realized that seeing him on TV gives me the sort of involuntary smile that is normally connected to other circumstances. as the news sink in and i realize that the guy is pope and will be for a while, i have this very emotional surge of hope and good perspectives that is totally unusual for me. i was a fan of his for a long time, as rahvin will be able to confirm (no bandwagon jumping), and i kind of feel quite a deal safer at the moment.
oh, and i have no problems with non-economists shutting up on economics on the other hand, the painting of rahvin as some catholic stalwart makes me laugh so much that i could just roll over.
