A Journalist's Email

How's that for a thoughtful, reflective title? (See thoughtful, reflective sidebar to your left.)

I knew this day would come as a writer. It had to. One cannot write both journalism and fiction without realising it. Those who take English at the same time often struggle with it more. Depending on your point of view, it can be either a hurdle recently crossed or a terrible, terrible set-back in one's development. Or both.

I've just come to the realisation that I'm writing emails in CP Style.

Dante and the Christmas Season

Reports out of Italy suggest literary historians have found an additional section of Dante's Inferno.

Early examinations by leading philosophers from Oxford University tell of a newly-discovered "tenth circle of Hell."

Rumours indicate that it may be a special circle of Hell reserved for the scores of every jazz re-interpretation of "Jingle Bells" ever created, where the pages are constantly photocopied again and again and again, never deteriorating.  The photocopier never runs out of ink, but is slightly mis-aligned so that all the pages have at least two bars cut off.
