holy shit how was leonard cohen. i did not have the cash money when he came to philadelphia, as all my excess cash money was tied up in springsteen tickets.
it was great, though i almost fell asleep toward the end. the best part of the night came when he started talking about his anti-depressants and "religious studies". "i didn't realize paxil was a libido inhibitor. i thought i had transcended desire."
The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics (ISBN 1-58717-066-3) is a book written and illustrated by Norton Juster, first published by Random House in 1963.
