Quote_tiny James added a quote:
"Namun itu berarti bahwa telah tumbuhlah benih-benih pengakuan, bahwa yang benar-benar penting dalam sejarah justru adalah hidup sehari-hari, yang normal yang biasa, dan bukan pertama-tama kehidupan serba luar biasa dari kaum ekstravagan serba mewah tapi kosong konsumtif. Dengan kata lain, kita mulai belajar, bahwa tokoh sejarah dan pahlawan sejati harus kita temukan kembali di antara kaum rakyat biasa yang sehari-hari, yang barangkali kecil dalam harta maupun kuasa, namun besar dalam kesetiaannya demi kehidupan.
[Impian dari Yogyakarta, hlm. 38]"

James's writing

terjemahan teks Yunani Koine (Nonfiction)
2 chapters   —   updated 9 days ago, 05:20AM
description: Terjemahan gue, sebagian hasil pindah-pindah dari situs gue di geocities: http://www.geocities.com/yunanikoine. Sejak tahun 2005, masih berstatus "under construction" :( I'm really such a procrastinator. Oh, sebagian juga mengikutsertakan daftar kosakata dll. Yah, liat sendirilah.
some of my cheesy and corny attempts at poetry (Poetry)
4 chapters   —   updated 12/30/2007 05:10AM
description: I've uploaded some of these in my friendster blog. Now it's here. I suggest you read these before any meal. The effects of my poetic artistry (should it be possible to call it so) can be quite severe. But if you decide to go on a diet, read these aloud exactly before meals ;p

630905 I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me today. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened.

Argh...this is terrible...

Again, I'm very sorry.

630905 Thanks for the friendship, James!

Here’s wishing you a nifty new 2008 filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats.

I thought I'd let you know that my novel “Vacation” has been nominated for the best Horror Novel of 2007 in the Preditors & Editors Readers' Poll. So far it's ranked 4th.

In case you're interested in voting, feel free to visit the website here:

Thanks again!

Happy New Year to you!
May every great new day
Bring you sweet surprises--
A happiness buffet.

Happy New Year to you,
And when the new year’s done,
May the next year be even better,
Full of pleasure, joy and fun.
