It makes me a bit sad that I've finished re-reading all of Jane Austen's books. I miss them already. Fortunately, a couple of things are around to restore my happiness. I dug through a pile of books and unearthed my volume containing three novels by Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz (recipient of the 1988 Nobel Prize for literature.) I'd forgotten I had it, and it's entirely unread! New tales! I've...

OK I was recently nudged by scottobear to get back to posting and I will. So as a warm up I give you this crazy video. I'm guessing it some crazy Bollywood thing. More importantly it warning of the horrible things that can happen when pop music is assimilated by other cultures. Note as the video explains the subtitles are not a translation just what the guy thinks what they are saying sound...

Rain returned today, so the weather has done pretty much what I told it to do. I now realize that I am awesome! I'm thinking about telling it to rain beer next. Anyway, busy again and so no long post, but a link (via scottobear ): Nightmare Playgrounds . Mostly eastern European, these playgrounds contain some of the most astonishing objects ever to be used as play equipment (oh, the elephant...
