More From J. B. Priestley

The orient that appears in orientalism, then, is a system of representations framed by a whole set of forces that brought the orient into western learning, western consciousness, and later, western empire.... the orient is the stage on which the whole east is confined. on this stage will appear the figures whose role it is to represent the larger whole from which they emenate. the orient then seems to be, not an unlimited extension beyond the familiar european world, but rather a closed field, a theatrical stage affixed to europe.
Europe Orientalism World
The orient and islam have a kind of extrareal, phenomenologically reduced status that puts them out of reach of everyone except the western expert. from the beginning of western speculation about the orient, the one thing th orient could not do was to represent itself. evidence of the orient was credible only after it had passed through and been made firm by the refining fire of the orientalist’s work.

It's no fun to be yellow. maybe i'm not all yellow. i don't know. i think maybe i'm just partly yellow and partly the type that doesn't give much of a damn if they lose their gloves. one of my troubles is, i never care too much when i lose something - it used to drive mother crazy when i was a kid. some guys spend days looking for something they've lost. i never seem to have anything that if i lost it i'd care too much. maybe that's why i'm partly yellow. it's no excuse, though. it really isn't. what you should be is not yellow at all.

Simply coming to the perpetrator and delivering the message is nozick's definition of revenge. and in that sense, adi is exacting revenge. when people ask, "does adi want revenge?" - they mean violent revenge. but in nozick's formulation, it is revenge. that is the essence of revenge.

Lastly, tea--unless one is drinking it in the russian style--should be drunk without sugar. i know very well that i am in a minority here. but still, how can you call yourself a true tea-lover if you destroy the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it? it would be equally reasonable to put in pepper or salt. tea is meant to be bitter, just as beer is meant to be bitter. if you sweeten it, you are no longer tasting the tea, you are merely tasting the sugar; you could make a very similar drink by dissolving sugar in plain hot water.
Drinking Beer Drunk
Drink water, drink tea. i find that if i drink tea i can make myself think that it's something special, because you know how you just really want a glass of wine at the end of the day? so sometimes i can really want a glass of wine but talk myself into believing that tea is as nice, and that's one thing to do to be nice to your skin. actually, two things: you're not have the wine and you're drinking water. also just working out. all the things you do to be healthy in your life help your skin.

The nice thing about your police procedural as opposed to your classic murder mystery is that in a murder mystery you don't know who did it. whereas in a police procedural you know, you know everything often and you're watching the police home in.

One thing that's great about having kids, especially given my career, is that it forces you out of your narcissism. i mean, i'm in a career where my product is me. so it was nice to have something, someone, come along and take the focus off me. i really needed to give myself some distractions from myself.
