The Official Song of the 2008 Olympics: Welcome to Beijing -- Please Ignore the Communism.

My apologies for reposting, Bride of Porkins, but it's just too perfect.

Be on the lookout for Jackie Chan.

Our new firewall blocks YouTube so I will have to take your word for it.

Did you see these Chinese propaganda posters?

Some of them are pretty cool.

No apologies needed, this gave me an excuse to watch it again. HAHA

I've caught this song in playing my head a few times, at first I thought it was just that I liked the tune, but now I'm wondering if it's got anything to do with me being happy for all the Chinese gold medalists. Hmm.

ZW: Damn firewalls. I did enjoy the propaganda posters and was sufficiently creeped out, a la James Clavell's "The Children's Story" or Animal Farm. Geeg.

BoP: Thanks again for that! It was enjoyed all across my constituency!

TC: I thought so.

Heff: I guess he relished the opportunity to do anything that didn't involve reinjuring himself.

LBB: Me too!

RM: I will do my best scouring the web for the funny. It consumes my life to a degree, but we all have to LOL don't we?

Heff: School has started, so I've been actually working! I shall return ASAP!

Very Sad News

Hi everyone, Because friends share in good things and bad and this is important to me, I thought you all might like to know. My mom, who had been battling many health problems, especially during the past few years, passed away Friday night. She was not a perfect person, but her love for me was. I figure if you want to know more, you'll ask. But if I don't seem quite myself for awhile, that's why. Thanks.

The Sock Monkey Project

Recently, due to Arctic Blast 2007 (i.e. a quarter-inch of sleet upon these Dallas roadways), a much-anticipated night of drinking, fooling around and Sopranos was nixed. Did I sulk? Well, hell yes, I did. And then I did some more. But after that, pouting began to bore me and I hit upon a mission: I was gonna make a goddamn sock monkey. Why the flip did this occur to me? Well, I'd talked it up for many years, seeing as how my grandmother gave me one when I was six or seven and it was subsequently so cherished and frequently hugged that the tail developed a hole at the end. As it turns out, my friends listen to me on occasion, so I was gifted with this kit at Christmastime this year. Though my original hosiery simian was far more tricked out than this one, with a red gingham dress and hat that had lace trim, this nostalgia-fueled, red felt vested ape would do nicely on a blustery, pissy winter's night . Besides, the original mon-chi-chi was lost. Generally speaking, I'm n

Two Years

Two years I've been writing this. Two years. Most of you and I have known each other for most of that span. Why is it so hard to believe, the constant flow of time? -------------------------------- Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems -- but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible. -- Salman Rushdie
