And so it begins...

In this transition time, I have now decided to move to blogspot for posting my blog. I sincerely hope that I can be more creative on here, and still convey my thoughts. Currently I am torn between reading the two Edmunds - White and Wilson. For years a dear friend of mine has been pestering me to read Edmund Wilson, without much success. I have now undertaken To the Finland Station. I think that if the book were written today, it would be published by a university press and have a subtitle that read: An Intellectual Survey of Socialism's Outlook on History from Michelet to Stalin.

Today is a nostalgic day for myriad reasons. First, I was reading the NY times and found an article on the new East Germany Museum in Berlin.

I also visited websites dedicated to eastern Europe, and had a discussion about Prague's beauty. And if anyone reading this remember's the "Think Moldova"campaign, yes that was mentioned as well.

All in all, I have had a very kitschy and communist day. Perhaps I will really sink my teeth into Wilson tonight. But not until after watching Kaysar's betrayal unfold on Big Brother 7.
