I Think I'm Winning
I'm currently engaged in a war with my upstairs neighbor. I was wakened (at noon) by heavy metal. I watched Law & Order: CI at the highest volume possible. Her music was down by the time it ended. Now, more throbbing metal. Really, wall pounding stuff. My response: blast back Pet Sounds.

Spam The Masterpiece
Along with this blog, I've been neglecting the hissycat email account. I finally checked it today and found several dozen spam emails containing large excerpts of Anna Karennina.
One email, with the subject line **VL-JUNK** Love is the difficult realization that something other than oneself is real, contained this passage:
shoulders and his eyebrows. The recollection of his wife's last act had so incensed him that he had become frigid, as at the beginning of the conversation. "I am very grateful for your sympathy, but I must be going," he said, getting up. "No, wait a minute. You must not ruin her. Wait a little; I will tell you about myself. I was married, and my husband deceived me; in anger and jealousy, I would have thrown up everything, I would myself.... But I came to myself again; and who did it? Anna saved me. And here I am living on. The children are growing up, my husband has come back to his family, and feels his fault, is growing purer, better, and I live on.... I have forgiven it, and you ought to forgive!" Alexey Alexandrovitch heard her, but her words had no effect on him now. All the hatred of that day when he had resolved on a divorce had sprung up again in his soul. He shook himself, and said in a shrill, loud voice:-- "Forgive I cannot, and do not wish to, and I regard it as wrong. I have done everything for this woman, and she has trodden it all in the mud to which she is akin. I am not a spiteful man, I have never hated anyone, but I hate her with my whole soul, and I cannot even forgive her, because I hate her too much for all the wrong she has done me!" he said, with tones of hatred in his voice. "Love those that hate you...." Darya Alexandrovna whispered timorously. Alexey Alexandrovitch smiled contemptuously. That he knew long ago, but it could not be applied to his case.
