I was hungry, and a roommate had laced these yummy chocolatey things with supermighty ingredients without my realizing it. Well, I wound up walking the pavements of the town and, you know what? I SAW SOME OF THOSE FACES, JUST LIKE ROBIN! A grad student friend found me kind of quivering in a cafe, took me over to her apt., and played the White Album for me to ease me down.

My favorite was the "I Love Alaska" one, - <a href="http://www.aolstalker.com/711391.html" rel="nofollow">user 711391</a>.<br /><br />Shown obliquely, but often with great pathos, it's a peek at the banal misery of a modern nuclear family falling apart. RoB isn't nearly as oblique, but leaves just enough detail out of her columns to hint at what a slow motion train wreck her life must be.Ugluks Fleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07736087597235009092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-77011492518368497962011-10-01T11:37:18.793-07:002011-10-01T11:37:18.793-07:00Every time I don't get a reference here, I say...Every time I don't get a reference here, I say; Oh, pshaw, it's a bloody American thing.It helps me from feeling Out Of Touch.<br />Colour me clueless.Sigh.Again.Sigh.<br />SuezbooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-85044536602995961402011-10-01T10:56:59.895-07:002011-10-01T10:56:59.895-07:00Should someone tell Robyn that "The Wizard of...Should someone tell Robyn that "The Wizard of Oz" is also a metaphor for the author's believe in a silver-based economy rather than a Gold-based one?

Now 13, she is an amazing striker on her soccer team, something she wouldn't have experienced at all in Central Java. But she is also a great student. She was adopted and so was a crap shoot.
