VIVIZ -- Eunha

I have never been to Australia and , alas, I suspect I will never be able to go there, but the Sydney Opera House is instantly recognizable.

Perhaps Australians from the area or those familiar with Sydney could tell me where Eunha is standing. Is she in […]

It's been a nice evening for me. I've watched the BBC news, Washington Week in Review, and 20 Kpop videos, listened to Bartok String Quartet #4, eaten Trader Joe's Orange Chicken, and drunk one Canadian Club with ice, one glass of iced cranberry and raspberry juice, and […]

VIVIZ -- Eunha

Here's Eunha at a fansign. I feel I ought to know what that hand gesture means, but I have to admit I don't.

Do you recognize this gesture?

I got hold of a copy of "The Vegetarian" and finished it this afternoon.

On one level, this novel - or is it a trilogy of linked novellas? - is a critique in fiction of the repression of women in […]

When you think about high school or (US/Canadian) college gen. ed. history classes, what kind of content and teaching either engaged you or bored you?

I wish the US media would describe Trump as "capricious", "unpredictable", "fickle", "temperamental", or "erratic" rather than dishonoring the messenger of the gods by calling this graceless orange boor "mercurial".

On October 31 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg.

I find Erasmus much more congenial than Luther, so I regret that the failure of an internal reform in the church empowered fanatics both Protestant and Roman Catholic […]

It would be easy to dismiss these people as neurotic men unable to cope with changing world, but their prominence in the media and in politics makes such a dismissal ill advised.

In fact, they frighten me. Beyond all, the silly names like "Raw Egg […]
