A New Site

Dear Readers,

I have recently opened up a new Wordpress site. It's called "The Filmmakers' Circle" and encompasses a diversity of subjects related to filmmaking, including the roles of films in our culture. If you are interested in either becoming a filmmaker or if you even just want to know more about what goes on behind the scenes, check us out! Besides myself, there is a number of other authors all from various fields in life, which I hope will enrich the site and expand it to encompass areas beyond filmmaking.

Thank you for reading,

Dear Flame of Arnor....

I have decided to become a Mexican, so I shall not see you for quite some time. Mexicans, please do not be offended; I love your lack of emphasis on productivity! Why else should I choose to become a Mexican? Honestly, though, there are some things in the Mexican culture that I love, like the afternoon siesta.

Italian Food, Marketing, and Modernism

While the subject is Italian food in society, this paper offers some insights on moderism (you can trace its roots in humanism, if you think about it), marketing, and the cultural upheaval of the sixties.
