Oh, I didn't know it showed up on the Netherlands! That's amazing. I hear there's Carnival in Venice, or something, but it's more like a mask ball or something (like the original Catholic celebrations). It's really hot around here during Carnival, so, really, we can't wear those nice costumes we see in movies that picture the tarditional Carnival.

Oh, wow! The Oscars are pretty late around there. Here it starts around 10pm, so it's easy to stay awake during the whole thing, even though classes usually start the day after (and I'm grateful I only have classes on Tuesday).

Do watch it this year! I think Ellen DeGeneres is going to be downright brilliant.

You like bowling, don't you, Montag?

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. If the government is inefficient, topheavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel like they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy.
