E-readers violate the essence of Sprezzatura.


"This is why I will never own an E-Reader: because a row of books is more than a compendium of information. It’s a map of all the places your mind has been, a group of friends standing silently by to comfort you.”
 - The Executor by Jesse Kellerman

LESSON:  Oh to have a book, tucked into this cozy nook...There is NO joy in a Nook.

Delicious ambiguity

Be comfortable “working in ambiguity.”

The key to true creative problem solving is the ability to work in ambiguity – to explore the full range of possibilities without jumping to conclusions. The poet John Keats praised Shakespeare for this trait, which he called “negative capability.” As Keats defines it, negative capability “is when man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, [and] doubts without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” In short, we must feel comfortable moving forward without always knowing exactly where we are headed.
LESSON:  Ambiguity opens you up to discovery, complexity, and growth.

DIY Plastic Surgery???

Plastic surgery is a black art and generally considered non-Sprezzatura.  Most Sprezzaturi are scaredy cats when it comes to needles and doctors anyway, and always prefer under to over treatment.   This bitch is most certainly non-Sprezzatura...

Posted 9/9/11 7:07 a.m.
HOMEWOOD (WLS) - A south suburban woman died Thursday after apparently injecting heated beef fat into her face. Janet Hardt, 63, of the 1000 block of W. 186th St. in Homewood, was pronounced dead at 6:25 p.m. at Advocate South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office. An autopsy Friday determined Hardt died of peritonitis, a severe abdominal inflammation caused by a bacterial infection suffered from weakened walls in her colon, according to the medical examiner’s office.

Infections she suffered in her face from the injections did not lead to her death, which was ruled natural, according to the medical examiner’s office. A source said shortly before Hardt died, she injected heated beef fat into her face around her mouth and chin, a procedure she had done before on several occasions. Her face reportedly looked “grotesque’’ and the infections in her mouth and lip also had scarring from performing the injections “for some time.’’ The victim was reportedly “obsessed’’ with the process of performing self-injections and had developed her own “process,’’ according to a source. She would boil the beef herself, extract the fat and inject it into her face.
 
Hardt went to the hospital after complaining that her face felt like it was burning, according to the source.
She had previously undergone multiple facial surgeries, the source said. Her face had a “tight’’ appearance and was not very wrinkled.
