“Tuve por primera vez la intuición falaz de que el pasado no es un lugar estable sino cambiante, permanentement alterado por el futuro, y de que por tanto nada de lo acontecido es irreversible.”

Bienvenue!
I must admit that until today I had always resisted the idea of having a blog, mostly because I tended to see blogs as virtual 'diaries', which was something I could not picture myself having. However, I gradually realised that I did enjoy reading both friends' and strangers' blogs, whether it was to check out what my kiwi friends down under were up to or learn more about a specific topic, skim through photos or discover new comic strips by burgeoning artists. I also realised that I had started compiling press reviews and sending out articles to friends who shared my interests and concerns, spontaneously and at times invasively, I suppose. So it eventually dawned on me that rather than go on littering my already-cluttered flat with newspaper clippings and your inboxes with spam, I might as well gather all the news items, articles and photos that capture my attention into one virtual bundle and leave it up to you to read me or ignore me as you please. It's just ... tidier! I do not quite know what form this blog is going to take, or whether it will take any form at all for that matter, but I guess that like most things in life, it will depend on curiosity. Mine and yours.

“You androids,” Rick said, “don't exactly cover for each other in times of stress.” Garland snapped, “I think you're right; it would seem we lack a specific talent you humans possess. I believe it's called empathy.”
