Lobo Antunes
The New Yorker's Review of António Lobo Antunes.
"Writing, as he practices it, can be creepily close to vivisection, and his novels conduct an autopsy that is both personal and political."

Obama's Nobel Peace Prize
It's a bit premature but the good news is that now he has to live up to it. I'm guessing that was the point all along in giving him the prize. Lets see what happens in Copenhagen in December!
National Poetry Day
Only in the UK but I'm adopting it anyway. Here are some TED Talks about poetry.
Anna Maltkz's Naked Suits
So funny that they censor the suits :-) I'm guessing that was the irony she was going after in doing this!
Agora
I didn't watch "Agora" but it seems to be a nice movie, rated 8.6 in IMDB. It was screened in Cannes earlier this year and it's causing some controversy in (fundamentalist) religious circles. Namely in some country inside Rome. I'm not sure what's their problem with it but reading the synopsis I think they probably have issues with every combination of adjectives you can imagine to describe the people in the love relation.
Also, as the main character is a scientist (she invented the hydrometer and the astrolabe), I'm looking forward to watch it because it's yet to come a movie that portraits how scientists work - No! A beautiful mind is not a good counterexample, daydreaming of patterns is not how cryptographers break codes!
Thanks to Alessio for pointing this out.
The Yes Men Fix the World
I've seen The Yes Men Fix the World and it's just hilarious. I'm also feeling pretty rebellious right now.
Mafalda
Today Mafaldinha turns 45. When I was young I spent more time reading it over and over again than doing anything else. I still like to think that I have a bit of Mafalda, Felipe and Miguelito in me.
