Here's a quote from the book I'm currently reading (checked out from the NYPL), "The City in Crimson Cloak" by Asli Erdogan (translated from the Turkish by Amy Spangler):
She felt a strong desire to run barefoot into the future; an urge to draw her sword and run her horse at full gallop, straight into the formidable front battle line of life... This, she thought, was probably what they meant by "joie de vivre."
Besides wishing I could write like that (if only!) ... this particularly spoke to me; it describes precisely how I feel about my self and my situation just now.
All hail to thee, barefoot lass ...

Intelligent Life: newsclip
And I quote:
A man, 57, told police that he "vaguely remembered" that someone was with him when he left Barracuda, the bar at _____, shortly after midnight on Sat., May 3, and went home to _____. (2 blocks from the bar) But when he woke up in the morning he was alone, and all his drawers and closets were ajar. His watch, cell phone, diamond ring, leather jacket, $800 in cash and credit cards were all gone.
