...mission of revenge against her former compatriots. On paper, Kill Bill: Volume I sounds dangerously close to Charlie’s Angels: there are many martial arts action sequences, all of the main characters are women and one of them is played by Lucy Liu. However, whereas Angels was mindless fun, Kill Bill is a thoughtful and beautiful homage to classic themes and styles while remaining the most fun and exciting film of the year. Within the film, one can see hints of all of Tarantino’s influences and tastes—blaxploitation, spaghetti westerns, Hong Kong kung...

This means we only have 39 hours left. Assuming we will not take pleasure in the 80 hours a week we spend filling spreadsheets or doling out advice on how to cut costs, the mathematical conclusion is that we have less than 25 percent...
...antidote to tragedies, dramatic and mundane, is to be more mindful. When mindless, we let the past determine the present. We mistakenly seek certainty. We hold things still in our minds and then confuse the stability of our mindsets with the stability of the underlying phenomenon. We look for the ways things are the same and miss all of the subtle ways in which things are different, despite the lip service we pay to the idea that things are always changing...
