Wonderland or Not

Sun­burnt from run­ning in the sun sans sunsc­reen I’m sit­ting around won­de­ring whether to opt for a light beer, a water, or the South Afri­can Merlot/Cabernet Sau­vig­non combo my hou­se­mate bought on clea­rance (yea I’m opting for the light beer). Sun­day eve­ning, never a good time for thought, brings out the links in me.

Quick notes:

Dear Pre­si­dent Obama, you are really suc­king on the health care issue, and though I know you are busy try to con­cen­trate, and please keep us out of I fuc­king ran.

I don’t care one way or another what some old late night comedienne/talk show host says about anyone. I am a little sick of old men cons­tantly making their jokes at the expense of women, without said jokes being at all con­tri­bu­tive to or reflec­tive of anything but of the minds of washed up dirty old men.

What is wrong with Netan­yahu.

Things you might enjoy:

Some great pic­tu­res via the Scarlett’s Lion’s Sur­fing Libe­ria or as pre­sen­ted on the BBC. You will love these even if you don’t surf.

Also a link to a video on the film Sli­ding Libe­ria: sur­fing in a war-torn country. G pos­ted this last week.

Doug pon­ders a no party (or sole party, can’t be sure) in Pratt­ler Party of One

Things you should know:

Pro­bably not a good idea to send your kids to an amu­se­ment park that just dec­la­red ban­kruptcy. Though I hear that com­po­site they use on pla­nes now isn’t such a sure thing either.

Ope­ning here and there during film fes­ti­val sea­son. BURMA VJ – Repor­ting from a clo­sed country Anders Oster­gaard direc­ted, it uses video foo­tage shot sec­retly during the 2007 monks’ demons­tra­tion, by the Democ­ra­tic Voice of Burma, based in Oslo, Nor­way. NYT review. I have yet to catch it, but there are plenty of reviews around.

For those in the D.C. area this week Sil­ver Docs will be in Progress.

That pesky dash­board is remin­ding me it’s time to upgrade to WP 2.8. My energy tonight goes to cal­ming my fears about a total disin­te­gra­tion of the blog. I’ve had it awhile, the blog that is. It holds a spe­cial place in my heart.

If this blog goes down, remem­ber where the love was found.

PEACE
