Sure, I've written for a few "mainstream" and popular journals, but then, I imagine that anyone with the name "Juddery" is either related to me... or they ARE me. I have a cousin in England with the name "Mark Juddery", but he only gets occasional glimpses on Google. I still usually write using that name, of course. As for my more recent name of "Noivedya"... I'm still competing for references with someone else of that name. Perhaps it’s a bit of both.

A question worth pondering I think. Noivedya, is your name more unusual, or are you just more famous than me? A question worth pondering I think.

It's a little more unusual than your own, so I usually find that each reference is to me. Mostly articles I've written (and reviews thereof) - and it's amazing where people see fit to copy-and-paste my work. (Usually without permission... but that's another story.) But I can also find various other things about myself - like my finishing time in the 1998 Weston Creek Half-Marathon in Canberra. If you don't know yourself well enough, you can easily find out on the Web. John, I have often Googled my name.

How easy is it to obtain Mishima’s works in English? As easy as visiting Amazon.com, as I have just done. It remains however to be seen whether biting the apple will prove as rewarding as talking about it on this point (whether I will enjoy reading Mishima’s books as much as I have enjoyed talking about them).</p> Thank-you Camille—I think you hit the nail on the head.

I think I understand what he means; the stairway is knowledge borrowed and used to advance one's position in life, but it is not the same as wisdom gained through experience (flowering), through trial and error devising one's own unique plan for attaining the second floor. Very interesting. I wonder how easy it would be to obtain some of his work translated into English? I enjoyed the New York Times excerpt on Mishima.

I’m not sure if the world needs another 8 facts about myself; I know it doesn't need 8 random habits, but maybe, ears slightly peaked, there is an interesting angle for me to follow here of my own. As for the tagging others, I already feel like a bit of a spammer having written this post... Thanks also Rhian. Er (trying to think of a better, less damning excuse), the thing is that I don't have any poetry!—aside from atrocious, teenaged stuff that sits in a mould covered, padlocked box. Of course it definitely is time that I made another attempt—which the world may or may not be the better for the making ;-) Thanks Maria—I’ll check it out.
