حسن فیروزآبادی و طارق عزیز

شعارهای تو خالی و ابلهانه و عربده کشی های مستانه حسن فیروزآبادی، در حد اقل باعث انزوای بیشتر، تحریم های شدیدتر و بالاخره ورشکستگی مزمن تر اقتصادی و سیستم پولی کشور خواهد بود و در حد بالا، جنگ و ویرانی و نا امنی و هرج و مرجی شبیه به اوضاع اسفناک امروز عراق در پی خواهد داشت. همانطور که طارق عزیز با ژستی متکبرانه اعلام کرد ما می جنگیم، برنده می شویم و هزاران هزار سرباز آمریکائی در کیسه های اجساد به آمریکا بر خواهند گشت>>>

Tehran’s Fault Lines

Tehran’s probability to have an earthquake is quite high due to some major fault lines going across the city based on many national geotechnical projects done in this field. The very densely populated metropolitan is the home of an estimated 13 million people and day-population of 15, is fully covered with seismically hazardous buildings. Before reinforcing the building seismic codes, buildings were built with no provisions of earthquake proof structures>>>

The Hurt Locker’s Missing Disclaimer

I just saw The Hurt Locker on DVD. Movies about the psychological travails of professional killers are not exactly my cup of tea, but I have to admit that this one richly deserved the Oscars for Film Editing, Sound Mixing and Sound Effects. Its explosions jolted even my supremely blasé Maine Coon out of her slumber and favorite perch. I don’t even begrudge Katherine Bigelow and Mark Boal their Oscars for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay>>>

Sherlock Holmes’ Daughter (3)

I wanted Christie to feel like I needed her, but there was no way I would use Paul’s immaculate truck to actually move furniture. A tiny scratch could total our friendship and I would never see his wife again. I rented a U-Haul trailer, occasionally driving the truck around the block so that when Paul inspected it he couldn’t tell Christie the odometer hadn’t budged. Operating Paul’s pristine machine that week I had become overly sensitized to fine craftsmanship. Every time I saw Katie at work, I marveled at her breathtaking sense of self-design>>>

یادگار جنگل خونین

من از این صخره‌های سخت ساحل ها
که بر پیوند موج و ساحل مقصود دیوار است بیزارم
من از هر مانعی در خشم و دلگیرم
من از ساروج این بارو
من از سیمان و از زنجیر این گودال سر بسته
من از دیواره‌های این خراب آباد صاحب نام بیزارم
