The attitude of the west and of russia towards a crisis like ukraine is diametrically different. the west is trying to establish the legality of any established border. for russia, ukraine is part of the russian patrimony. a russian state was created around kiev about 1,200 years ago. ukraine itself has been part of russia for 500 years, and i would say most russians consider it part of russian patrimony. the ideal solution would be to have a ukraine like finland or austria that can be a bridge between these two rather than an outpost.

On the other hand, if you suggest to a person who has been a victim of a serious crime that we take the issue too seriously, they'll look at you like you're crazy. so that's a really tough issue, whether we're doing more harm than good by paying so much attention to a few cases that honestly don't normally intersect with our lives.

It was daylight and i drove everyone home - i was driving a mini with john and cynthia and pattie in it. i seem to remember we were doing eighteen miles an hour and i was really concentrating - because some of the time i just felt normal and then, before i knew where i was, it was all crazy again. anyway, we got home safe and sound, and somewhere down the line john and cynthia got home. i went to bed and lay there for, like, three years.

Jules has always been one of those women that men go crazy about because she has enough self-confidence to say this is me, take it or leave it. and, invariably, they take it. or at least try to. they love the fact that she doesn’t wear makeup. that her clothes, on her tiny, petite frame, are a mishmash of whatever she happens to pull out of the wardrobe that morning. that her laugh is huge and infectious, and, most of all, that she listens. she loves life, and people, and makes time for them, and even before jamie came along men were forever falling in love with her.
