...course, at any ecovillage, larger ambitions must still yield to the gentle demands of daily life. On a recent Tuesday afternoon, residents lined up at the on-site farm to pick up their weekly share of organic fruits and vegetables, which some had helped harvest earlier in the day. As mothers bagged eggplants the color of a deep bruise and the size of Popeye's forearms, the talk was not of peak oil and alternative fuels but of kids and the fast-approaching fall term at the public school most EVI kids attend--just the kinds of unremarkable things...
...latest issue of the Weekly World News. Other tabloids would scream at you with the purported indiscretions of celebrities. But on the cover of WWN you'd see a headline so farfetched that it would instantly stick in your mind and be impossible to remove, like the ice pick in Trotsky's skull...
...ventured to Fanfiction.net to see if I could rekindle the spirit of The Sopranos. In the TV category I found several fan-created episodes for hundreds of television shows like: Laverne and Shirley (123), Dr. Who (7,779), JAG (3,409) but slim pickings for Sopranos (50).

...brilliantly evocative and propulsive novellas, he shows us how India, with its furious intensities, its gift for confrontation and its quirky mix of dusty British terms ("jocundity") and the latest American ambitions, might be made for him and his ironic pen. He also reminds us that few travelers can pick up a place with such casual vividness, see Indian script "like washing hanging on a clothesline", or hear both the innocence and threat in "Let we go inside, sir?" or "Having chit, madam?" India is a challenge for many visitors, and no one loves a challenge more than Paul Theroux...
