More From Paul Goodman

I've not won different awards - many, many times - so luckily i've practiced that whenever you are nominated for anything, you enter into this marvelous, fantabulous bubble called the bubble of nomination. the minute the envelope is opened and your name isn't called out, the bubble bursts. and no one calls you up the next day to say, 'so sorry you didn't win,' or 'you looked gorgeous - nothing. if you win, you get about another 24 hours in that lovely bubble and then - pop - you are slightly wet all over from the bubble and realize that you have to get on with real life.

He could tell at once that they carried different sorts of bubble bath mixed with the water though it wasn't bubble bath as harry had ever experienced. one tap gushed pink and blue bubbles the size of footballs; another poured ice-white foam so thick that harry thought it would have supported his weight if he'd cared to test it; a third sent heavily perfumed purple clouds hovering over the surface of the water. harry amused himself for a while turning the taps on and off, particularly enjoying the effect of one whose jet bounced off the surface of the water in large arcs.

Horror is like comedy. woody allen's comedy is going to be very different from ben stiller's comedy which is going to be different from adam sandler's comedy which is going to be different from judd apatow's comedy. they're all comedy, but they're all very different types and you can enjoy all of them. horror is the same way.

Occasionally i was so much better that i could go out; but the streets used to put me in such a rage that i would lock myself up for days rather than go out, even if i were well enough to do so! i could not bear to see all those preoccupied, anxious-looking creatures continuously surging along the streets past me! why are they always anxious? what is the meaning of their eternal care and worry? it is their wickedness, their perpetual detestable malice-that's what it is-they are all full of malice, malice!

In a glass of cider it seemed i was a mite of sediment that waited for the bottom to ferment so i could catch a bubble in ascent. i rode up on one till the bubble burst, and when that left me to sink back reversed i was no worse off than i was at first. i'd catch another bubble if i waited. the thing was to get now and then elated.

One theory is that the universe came from nothing. i.e. perhaps bubble-universes collided, as in a bubble bath, and gave birth to the universe. or perhaps the big bang was created by a bubble-universe which split into two universes. the universe does seem to be compatible with nothing.
