A “Jesus Look-Alike” in My Closet
I haven’t thought of this guy in years – but tonight, as I was reading one Israeli blog, something reminded me of him: Omri Afir, an Israeli-American I used to know ten years ago, an actor wanna-be attending Rutgers University.
Back in 1994, I developed a tiny little crush on [...]
I watched Tony Scott’s “Man on Fire” in the middle of the night, Friday to Saturday night (don’t ask me why – there’re too many answers but none makes enough sense). In Russian, the film is called “Wrath” (“Gnev”), and though I wouldn’t say that the Russian word necessarily implies vengeance, the English one does, [...]

At the end of August, I sent two of my photos to the BBC News Online’s photography competition, Photographer of the Year, and one of them was selected by their picture desk – and it’s now posted in a picture gallery HERE.
The theme was Solitude, my photo is #6 of 12. I took it last [...]

Nick Cave played here in St. Pete yesterday.
I’d have preferred to see him at a venue more intimate than the Oktyabrsky Concert Hall, a humongous, Soviet-ly gray and ugly place – but I’m not complaining. Mishah and I sat in the left corner of the last row of the balcony, almost on the roof [...]

Within hours after I posted the entry about the current mess in Iraq and in Chechnya, and the past mess in Lebanon, I ran into this 20-year-old story about a 1984 attack on the U.S. embassy in Beirut (The Guardian, “Suicide Bombers Kill 23 in Attack on Embassy,” by David Hirst, Sept. 21, 1984).
