it is with some funny feelings that i heard the complaint of a friend of mine that this weblog does not contain an essay every day – and he was right: but an essay needs some inspiration, and it is not easy for a writer to come up with a theme every day when everytime he opens a newspaper he can only report bad news in it, is it? so bear with me, i shall have an idea in no time at all, and be it only the news today that tyra banks left the runway forever – i interviewed her once, and she was very nice, i can tell you. so i am a bit sad that she gives up modelling forever. also if you, dear reader, have a special wish to be written about, feel free to let me know in the comments-field – my productivity knows no bounds!
