Night by Elie Wiesel

A memoir about Elie Wiesel's experience as a concentration camp prisoner.

Loyal fans of MixedMetaphors.net, you may begin your revelries! Despite your dwindling numbers you are a loud and boisterous bunch. Or perhaps you are not so loud and boisterous, perhaps I have you confused with the construction going on next door, the construction that has taken six months and consists solely of one loud screeching tool that does something ineffable, ineffable even to those using the tool, because if they knew how to use it the construction going on next door wouldn't have taken six months. Anyway, that's off topic. My point is that MixedMetaphors.net is back online. It looks almost the same as it did before it went offline. Yay.

Where have you gone, MM?

Once: there wasn't a website.
Then: there was a website.
Then: there wasn't a website.
Then: there was a website again.

This is how the web works, a creeping change in the passive voice. To describe past states as matters of fact requires one to ignore the notion that any potential viewer percieves a different history depending on their time and point of entry. Text is mutable, content is merely form, and form has lost its once-glorious notions of essence.

Now: Here is a website.

Yes, that's right. After a brief (six month) hiatus, I've finally gotten around to ressurecting my computer and my website. Right now I'm still playing around with the server so I'm not going to spend time writing a blog entry that may not even work. Hopefully all will be well soon.

Read most of this while on the flight home from Berlin, finished it after getting over jet lag.
