Persepolis is Marjane Satrapi's wise, funny and heartbreaking memoir of growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. In powerful black-and-white comic strip images, Satrapi tells the story of her life in Tehran from ages six to fourteen, years that saw the overthrow of the Shah's regime, the triumph of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of war with Iraq.

Goodnight Moon!

Wednesday night, the Earth's shadow will plunge the moon into darkness. From here, it will be a lovely sight.

Tomorrow's (Wednesday, Feb. 20th, 2008) total eclipse of the moon will be visible across the country, starting at 8:43 p.m. EST. In the East, the spectacle will take place relatively high in the sky while, in the West, the moon will be low on the horizon as it begins to move into Earth's shadow.

WHERE IT'S VISIBLE
Most of North America, all of South America, plus Western Europe and West Africa will be able to see the lunar eclipse in its entirety.

HOW IT WILL UNFOLD
Tomorrow's will be the last eclipse visible from Canada for almost three years.

THE LATE SHOW
The lunar eclipse will last about three hours and 26 minutes.
The moon will be completely immersed within the Earth's dark umbral shadow for just under 50 minutes.

A few years ago, in 2002, 100 major writers from 54 countries agreed to answer a remarkable question: What is the best work of fiction ever written? By an overwhelming margin, the authors chose Don Quixote. Why is this 400-year-old Spanish novel held in such high esteem by readers, writers and critics? Entire libraries are filled with answers to that question, but I'll confine myself to just a few.

ohmygoodness.
i wonder why they did it.
i mean, who are these underground buyers and dealers?
what are they gonna do with the paintings?
hang them in your house for private viewing and enjoyment-_-?
in any case, these paintings (most likely) will not surface.
they will not be publicly shown anymore.
and that is sad.

on a positive note,
it's not like someone put the paintings on fire and burned them down to ashes..
at least these works are still 'alive' somewhere in the world..

믿을 수가 없다.
믿겨지지 않는다.
정말이야? 사실이야?
정말 타버렸어...?

말을 잃었다는 표현이 정말 맞다.
그냥 멍-하다.
뭐라고 표현할 수 없는 그런 어안이 벙벙한 상태..
마음이 착찹하다.

2차 붕괴 위험까지 있다던데,
잘 복구해낼 수 있을까?

구정으로 2008년이 밝은지 얼마 되지 않았는데
이런 일이 생겨서 사람들 마음이 더 안 좋을 것 같다.
멀리 있는 나도 이런데 가까이 있는 국민들의 마음은 어떨지 참...
휴우...

누구의 탓인가 잘잘못 따지고 책임을 떠 미루기 보다는
숭례문을 어떻게 다시 복원할 것인지,
이런 일이 다른 문화재에 생기지 않도록 지금부터 어떻게 예방할 것인지
그런 것에 대해 얘기하고 계획을 세워야할텐데..

슬프다 이런 일이 생겨서..
이런 일이 생겨서 정말 슬프다...

"어떤 건물인데…" 대목장의 절규

South Korean Gate Destroyed in Fire
The collapse of Sungnye Gate, a 600-year-old landmark designated a top national treasure, shocked the country.

i do not disagree with the claim that the Gate was kind of a simulacrum: a mere object which contributed to the image-making of "Dynamic Korea." however, i still feel saddened by the fact that it is destroyed because i am deeply sympathetic to the Gate which stood there for 600 years. whether it be a simulacrum, a landmark, an image, a treasure (i don't give a dang about modifiers/describers/adjectives), the Gate simply didn't deserve such treatment..
