Yes (he said quietly), as in the "I feel vaguely paranoid about saying this but it's true" example of Jules and Jim, which made a masterpiece out of Henri-Pierre Rouche's middling fictionalized memoir.
Powerful blog. The site was incredible and will be
back again! Web surfing helps to find good blogs like
this one.
I want you to look for my lil kim plastic surgery blog.
