Of Dostoyevsky, Nipples, Internet Addiction, and My Invisible Girlfriend Named Kevin
I don't like Dostoyevsky! Not at all, at all, at all! Now even Prince Myshkin has really turned into an idiot! And I think the book's over now, in another few pages, so there's no hope for improvement.
To cheer up anyone who's been subjected to anything as awful as Dostoyevsky, try touring a href="http://www.ndroid.com/005/nipple/index.html">The World-Famous Nipple Gallery (thanks to katyha for the link).
Oh, and there's a California election approaching, and I received not one but two sample ballots in the mail. Think I can vote twice? I think not, since only one ballot had my name on it. The other ballot had the name of a previous resident of my apartment, except that on all other mail I've come across that was intended for this person - whose first name is "Kevin" - the title in front of Kevin's name has been "Mr." But on this sample ballot, the name was "Ms. Kevin . . ." Very interesting. Apparently the state of California is under the impression that I'm living with a woman, and that the woman I live with goes by the name of "Kevin." How very delightfully queer of me, to live with a woman named Kevin! Alas, I regret to inform them that I have in fact no Kevin at all in my life, neither a male Kevin nor a female Kevin. But the idea of it sounds so stylish that maybe I'll go out and acquire a female Kevin, just because they inspired me to.
Oh, and there's definitely something wrong with this quiz. I can't possibly be merely "average."

Nope. It's translated by Henry and Olga Carlisle. And the problems I have with it are in many cases too big for me to believe they can be blamed on the translator.
Unfortunately I have to give Dostoyevsky another chance, because my father already bought me Crime and Punishment for Christmas. (He bought me both of them, because he's read them himself and likes Dostoyevsky. I, however, have fared far better with Tolstoy, who my father doesn't much care for.)
Have you read Crime and Punishment? Is there any hope for it? I'm afraid to go near it now.
