one two three

1- I don't know what it is about Salinger's writing that attracts me so much. And right now, I'm not sure if it's actually his writing or merely his name that makes me love the stories I read. In any case, I just found an online goldmine, containing all of Salinger's publshed works, including all the short stories he published in magazines over the years and never came out in any books. I'm ecstatic. So far read 4-5 of them, and loved every single one of them. I don't know what he does, I just love his writing.

But seriously, what a way to become a legend; voluntary seclusion from the world; Not giving any interviews; literally making your fans STARVE for any little thing written by you.

2- The new Yahoo messenger is wicked. I never used Yahoo much, was an MSN user from the start and all my friends are on MSN. But I'm thinking about using Yahoo more. First, I don't have many people on my list so it's easier (almost have a 100 friends on MSN ... none of them "virtual" friends either). But, besides that there are all these cool features, like the "audibles". The best thing is the Launch radio though. I think it's more of a coincidence, but the first station that shows up on the main window for me was "Zero 7 Fans Radio". So, I can listen to lovely Zero 7 songs (and other songs in the same genre) while chatting, or surfing ... very nice indeed.

3- Soccer game was great. Glad Portugal won, in your face England. More importantly though was that it was a brilliant game ... drama at its best ... and the goalie who saved the penalty without his gloves, legendary.
