Next time your finger goes all rotten…

Thanks to Mr. Bigglesworth, I learned about the existence of Ustream.  And I’ve just discovered the stream below, where I saw all sorts of animals come drink, including an elephant. 

Exciting stuff.

UPDATE:  I’ve changed cameras.  For the noise.

UPDATE2:  New video.  I love this guy.

He did what I expected he would do (but hoped he wouldn’t).

Un petit beurre, des touyoux.

The Protestants are marching.  Their goal is to irritate Republicans (not that kind).  If the Republicans get irritated, then the Protestant march has been a success.  After all these years you’d think the Catholics would figure that out.

It’s a bit like terrorism.  If you pass Patriot Acts and lock up 15yo kids and invade Muslim countries and kill civilians, the terrorist activities have been a great success. 

I just saw parts of President Obama’s speech on the proposed Islamic center and some of the “conservative” reaction to the center.  I’d say the terrorists must be absolutely delighted with American Republicans.

Obama speaks so well, and so much of what he says makes sense.  That’s why he won the election.  Americans wanted something different.  It is unfortunate that he hasn’t carried through.  Guantanamo.  Don’t-ask…  He was paralyzed by the extremists and wasted his mandate.  He was supposed to undo the awfulness of Bush.  But he hasn’t.

On British tv there’s a new commercial for Tropicana – set in San Francisco.  Looks so cheery and wonderful and happy.  And then, back to the news, and the anti-gay-marriage folks are out in force trying to ruin it for others.  The anti-immigrants want to amend the Constitution to keep babies illegal.

There sure are a lot of nasty, inconsistent Americans who just want to ruin it for the others.

I suppose we can at least be grateful they’re not out shooting eye doctors.

State of Education update:

Today I went downtown to take advantage of the sales.

For several months now I’ve been looking at batik bags with a view to using them as cushion covers, since my Nepali covers are dead.

She wouldn’t consider any kind of discount, so today, when I saw they were on sale – 50% off – I jumped at the chance and bought 2.

The clerk/owner took out her calculator, calculated 50% of SFr 39 , added that to SFr 19.50, and told me I owed here…  SFr 39.

At least she didn’t get it wrong.

Well, I like it, and that’s all that really matters.

For any francophiles in the neighbourhood…

I like the song.  The video is self-indulgent/-important and a rip-off (MGMT-ish), but I like the song.

Sorry.

Kekupa jouse.

He wooed her with a klobaso.

But…

He seduced her with two klobasama.
