John the Baptist
April 21, 2014
I have always thought and felt that the eyes are far more than a normal sensing organic tool. They have the soul in them, not just behind them, but in them, in their glare, in the energy they convey…I think something comes out of eyes, like a torch beam. A beam of energy which is […]
the first black man in the shite house
April 21, 2014
The first black man in the white house, I was one of the millions taken, with the idea that change was afoot, the root of global politics finally shaken.. the last chapter in the slavery book, closed and forgotten, the lynch mobs, ku klux clan, universally declared dead and rotten… a new era upon the […]
Killer Joe
April 21, 2014
I’ve never been a major or even minor fan of Mathew McConaughey. Neither of his face nor his acting. He has always struck me as a descendant of Skeletor or some other skull-faced bother…typecast into pretty boy roles in romantic comedies for The New Dumb to laugh at and smile at his curls, now and […]
The Destinies of Darcy Dancer, Gentleman – J. P. Donleavy
April 21, 2014
A few years ago I read The Ginger Man, by the same author, and i loved it…Since then, i have purchased The Beastly Beautitudes of Balthazar B, or a similar title, by Donleavy…but I never attempted to dive properly into it, and have since lost that book. So, with nothing left to devour of […]
The White Guard – Bulgakov
April 21, 2014
I am in several minds as to how to review this book. For several reasons…After been introduced to Bulgakov via Diaboliad, Heart of a Dog, The Fatal Eggs, the brilliant Country Doctors Notebook and the timeless classic, The Master and Margarita, I was confirmed as a steadfast devotee of Mikhail. He ranked up there with […]
A picture of Dorian Gray – Oscar Wilde
April 21, 2014
After acquainting myself with the vibrant story of Wilde through the high esteem with which others anointed him, I finally picked up one of his novels through a decidedly one-sided exchange with a Hanoi book-monger. To loosen myself of Last Legion (Manifredi) was joyful, Under the Eagle (scarrow) hardly heartfelt but adding into the equation […]
Juventus 1 – 0 Bologna
April 20, 2014
Approaching this match, knowing that two wins in our next two league fixtures would send us to Rome needing only a draw to clinch our third straight scudetto, there was reason to be both excited and nervous. Especially after our rivals earned a valuable 0-1 away victory in Florence, reducing the gap between us back […]
Juventus 3 – 1 Siena Primavera
April 13, 2014
Vannucchi Mattiello Varga Romagna Barlocco Slivka (14 ‘st. Roussos), Gueye (7’ st. Tavanti), Sakor, Gerbaudo (32 ‘st. Ceria). Buenacasa, Donis GOALS – Sakor 16′, Gerbaudo 20′, 60’. The steady improvement in performances and results continued for our Primavera squad yesterday with a convincing victory over Siena. Sakor put us into the lead, with a decent […]
Lyon are banished and Benfica beckons…
April 11, 2014
Whilst we continued our poor and worrying form, we got through without any major hassle. We could say that about so many games since late January. We certainly have the telling trademark of a great team, as in, we keep winning when we play below full steam. More on that shortly… For now, let’s peek […]
