IN THIS ISSUE:

QUOTE:

"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that the English language is as pure as a crib-house whore. It not only borrows words from other languages; it has on occasion chased other languages down dark alley-ways, clubbed them unconscious and rifled their pockets for new vocabulary." -- James Nicoll (thanks to Jaden for that one)

SPOTLIGHT ON: "Observing a Statue", by Quiara; "There Are Some Things Money Can't Buy" by Gengdalyn

He's one of the three most written-about characters in Les Miz, and consequently one of the most stereotyped: the ice-cold, misogynistic, fanatical Fearless Leader.

Through the eyes of the two Amis who ought to know best, Quiara re-examines the character of Enjolras in a clear but forgiving light, and gets closer to the heart of the matter than anyone has in a while. While Gengdalyn, on the other hand, tells us the sad tale of Enjolras, the Boy With No First Name, and how he was given a new purpose in life by a man in a scarlet waistcoat...

WHAT'S NEW:

First off, I moved the updates to pitas.com, in the interests of making my life simpler. The old updates page is still accessible, but it's not going to change ;) Also, a new article by Quiara explains "How To Slash Les Miserables".

Randomland.org is no longer with us, lest anyone was unaware, which means that Ponine's Barricade of Revolution has moved again, and is back at http://www.crosswinds.net/~barricade/.
