Eight Easy Ways to Screw the Machine (Dec 04 2004 03:46 GMT) - (Canada) Go for the o-ne brand of Armenian gasoline, the weird Belgian fruity beer (not meaning queer- meaning with fruit in it), the hemp underwear, the moose jerky made in the next town. Smoke lots of marijuana.

Letter from Ireland, pt. 2 (Dec 04 2004 03:45 GMT) - The sense of a weight removed! A weight I didn't even know I carried. It has taken 28 years for me to come to this most simple, most obvious, and most profound realization. I am not American. When I think of it I wonder why it has taken me this long, my entire life, to discover something of such personal importance. |

Cooking Japanese (Dec 04 2004 03:44 GMT) - I've eaten plenty of Japanese meals in my life - in restaurants, in homes, in Japan - but today was my first venture into cooking it for myself. Emboldened by the discovery of a nearby Japanese grocery store and an extraordinarily thorough and informative cookbook (Shizuo Tsuji's Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art), I designed tonight's menu around food I was deeply certain I could do reasonable justice to on my first try. This meant no deep-frying, no fish (C. won't eat it), no overly elaborate cutting or animal dissecting, and no recipes which would take more than a few hours at most to finish. |

Depression Boy (Dec 04 2004 03:43 GMT) - He walks down the street, Alone in the dark,Wondering how, when and why.His life fell apart.When he lies down at night,Preparing for the sleep he knows won't come, He thinks about the pain in his life,And how he can't tell anyone. |

Since broadband Internet is becoming quite popular in many of the European countries, I am not really that surprised. For the most part, TV is a passive technology. The Internet on the other hand, is a much , more interactive technology allowing its users to experience many amazing new forms of media and ideas. |

Greeting cards (Dec 04 2004 03:41 GMT) - After much due consideration my Xmas card list has been finalised. There were some new additions but unfortunately some people did not make the final cut. I can't remember what they did to displease me but it must have been pretty serious, like wearing lace up espadrille wedge sandals. For any of my real life friends who are reading this, I am hoping to send out all my Xmas cards next week. I've even modified the standard Have a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year greeting slightly to show how special you are to me. |

Chicom Oppression in America (Dec 04 2004 03:41 GMT) - Over at NRO Rich Lowry warns that Red China is trying to oppress people here who demonstrate against their regime: A recently passed congressional resolution deplores the harassment of Falun Gong in the United States. It mentions a beating of practitioners outside a Chinese restaurant in New York by men allegedly connected to the Chinese government; an assault against protesters outside the Chinese consulate in Chicago, which led to the conviction of two individuals with ties to the consulate; and the physical abuse of Falun Gong practitioners in San Francisco by men later seen at the San Francisco consulate. |
