Last week someone stole a planter off our front porch. For some reason I find this very disturbing. The porch is now lopsided. And what’s more the thing must have weighed 40+ lbs, it’s 1.5 inch concrete and filled with wet soil — who steals that? Frat kids that’s who. Initiation pranks or something. I told the cop (had to call, not my pots, not paying for the loss), if you find it and it’s a white kid under 22 I’ll press charges, otherwise just get my flowers back. Naturally I’ve never heard from the cops, they have better things to do than look for flower pots. However I did enlist the mailman (who has access to everyone’s porch) in the search. So far nothing. Karma will find you my little planter thief.

My first hands on with Borges... Absolutely amazing. So far beyond what I've been reading lately (mainly non-fiction and some late 20th century authors). As with Faulkner, I find it shocking that I was given an undergraduate degree in English without having read Borges. That simply should not be allowed. Everything I was expecting and so much more. If, like me, you know Borges through his myth rather than his words, this is a fine place to start. And rest assured, the myths are nothing next to the real thing.
