Depression Part Two. I remember being endlessly entertained by the adventures of my toys. Some days they died repeated, violent deaths, other days they traveled to space or discussed my swim lessons and how I absolutely should be allowed in the deep end of the pool, especially since I was such a talented doggy-paddler. I didn't understand why it was fun for me, it just was. But as I grew older, it became harder and harder to access that expansive imaginary space that made my toys fun. I remember looking at them and feeling sort of frustrated and confused that things weren't the same. I played out all the same story lines that had been fun before, but the meaning had disappeared. Horse's Big Space Adventure transformed into holding a plastic horse in the air, hoping it would somehow be enjoyable for me. Depression feels almost exactly like that, except about everything. At first, though, the invulnerability that accompanied the detachment was exhilarating.

Baltimore's 100 best bars [Pictures] PODCAST: Bobby Mincer (1935-2012) | Coy Barefoot. I learned today that my good friend Bobby Mincer passed away early this morning. He died at his home here in Charlottesville about 1:30a, after a long battle with leukemia. His family was by his side. Bob was born October 14, 1935 in Asheville, NC. His father founded Mincer’s Humidor, later Mincer’s Pipe Shop, on the UVA Corner on July 19, 1948. The shop was originally located in a cramped space that is now the kitchen for Littlejohn’s Deli. “I had to stand on a Co-Cola crate to see over the counter,” Bobby remembered.
“I was twelve-years old.” After some time in the service, Bob went to work in his family’s Charlottesville store in 1960 and continued to work there until his retirement in 2000. The pipe shop has since become Mincer’s UVA Sportswear and is a true Charlottesville tradition, familiar to generations of students, faculty, and townspeople. He is shown here in a 1997 photograph with his son Mark, the third-generation Mincer on the Corner. Podcast. IS IT A JEWISH HOLIDAY TODAY?

Five Real Mexican Drinks for Cinco de Mayo. Let's just get this straight right away, OK? Yes, Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday. It's a Mexican holiday the way Patriots' Day is an American holiday. Patriots' Day is only observed in two out of the 50 American states (Massachusetts and Maine, in case you were wondering); Cinco de Mayo is only observed in one out of the 31 Mexican states (Puebla, in case you were wondering).
The whole "drinko for Cinco" malarky, where gloppy combo plates with cheese melted over everything or grade-D meat tacos get chased with a small ocean of the beer-flavored soda known as Corona, is about as Mexican as I am (in other words, not at all). It's thoroughly an American invention, St. Patrick's Day with worse beer. If you're going to celebrate the defeat of the French army at the hands of the Mexican soldiers in Puebla (insert surrender joke here), which is at least as good an excuse to party as any, at least do so by drinking drinks that might actually be recognizable by Mexicans. 1. 2.

Happy birthday, Gabo! Marquez, who is known colloquially as Gabo, was born in 1928 in Aracataca, Colombia, a small town in the north of the country. As a young man, he worked as a journalist in Colombia and as a foreign correspondent in Rome; Paris; Barcelona, Spain; Caracas, Venezuela; New York; and Mexico City. It was in Mexico City that he wrote the novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude," which earned him his lasting international reputation.
First published in Spanish in 1967 and in English in 1970, "One Hundred Years of Solitude" launched a new genre, magic realism, which became closely identified with Latin American literary tradition. Marquez has been overtly political, visiting Cuba when it was under strict American embargo and fostering a friendship with Fidel Castro. When he won the Nobel Prize in 1982, Marquez traveled to Sweden and, exhausted, went to sleep. Kurosawa: Yes.
