The Locals

Berendt has weeded out some interesting locals in this book - at first I found it distracting because I thought he should stick to the plot (the Fenice burning: arson or not) but between Olga/Ezra Pound, the Rylands, piano nobile, artist glass blower man, the Rat-Man, and pigeon exterminators now I'm kind of dissappointed that he's back to the main argument of who torched the Fenice. I could really care less now I would just rather read about some other people.

Do we have any interesting people in Rock Island?

Two Villains to go...

Well Wilma made it on! Now we have to work on Guido and Roxy. I saw Guido at the Country Market (he was threatening to make some sort of soup) and he says something is wrong with his modem (MODEM HAHAHAHA who uses a modem anymore) and can't get on the Internet at home. We're gonna have to come up with some sort of plot to get him bloogin'.

I'll send Roxy another invite.

Back to the book.....

Ezra Pound and Olga in Venice

Who knew about Ezra? Did I miss a class in college? For a semester I suffered through Milton and would have rather delved into the Pound Era. I'm sure Heidi will have a lot to contribute and may even look up a few good poems to read aloud to us :) at the next B.C. (March 15th now is it Dan?).

I'm enjoying this read - how 'bout y'all?

Venetian Sites and Blogs

Speaking of Save Venice - here's their site www.savevenice.org.

Sharon Zukowski has a blog called Wierd Venice albeit I don't know what she finds wierd about Venice, at least the web cam is neat. Right now it's nighttime and I think I see a gondola.

The Living Venice blog offers a lot of resources so MAYBE if the villains ever go on a trip (as soon as some of us get back from Cancun) ((I'm disgruntled can't you tell)) a field excusion is in order.
