I'd feel better about it if I didn't suspect the PM had bribed the judges.
Scientists describe the old book bouquet as "grassy notes with a tang of acids and a hint of vanilla over an underlying mustiness." The minute it comes out as a cologne, it's my signature scent.
How To Use An Apostrophe.
The subject is Scariest Movie Scenes.
U.S. citizens are being urged to encourage Sen. Clinton to use her influence to secure the release of the hostages.
From the Time magazine article:
As Hillary Clinton pays her first visit to Pakistan as Secretary of State, an unfolding hostage crisis will test the Obama Administration's rhetoric on human rights in the region. Officials at the U.S. embassy in Islamabad say at least three landlords have held as many as 170 bonded farmworkers at gunpoint on their estates in the country's southeast Sindh province since late September. With U.S. attention focused on getting Pakistan to deal with huge security issues to Washington's satisfaction, will Clinton be able to press Islamabad's rulers to address a controversy involving rural poverty and modern-day slavery?
The crisis began after the workers' advocates successfully petitioned three district courts to declare as illegal the debts that the landlords were using to compel the workers into indentured servitude. Those debts average around 1,000 Pakistani rupees — roughly $12. The hostages, a third of whom are children, some as young as 4 months old, are landless peasants, known as haari in Urdu. According to Ghulam Hyder, a spokesman for Pakistan's Green Rural Development Organization, the landlords have killed one hostage already and are threatening to kill the others unless they drop the cases and return to work. The landlords also abducted Amarchand Bheel, an advocate for the laborers, as he traveled to court to plead their cause.- Mood:

It got bad enough for me to try some of that multi-function cold medication everyone uses. Interesting stuff. It does reduce the symptoms, but it also produces an odd, dreamlike state which helps me better understand some of the behaviour at Woodstock. Inanimate objects become fascinating. The keyboard is, even now, doing a little dance for me. I just spent several minutes reading the label on a can of shaving gel, because something written on there seemed incredibly funny. I was going to come tell you about the funny thing on the can, but now I can't remember what it was. Maybe I should go lie down again.
I know very, very little about wine( It's a beverage of some kind, right? )
1. A copy of the big, hardcover 1992 World Series commemorative book. The best part: some of the text was written by W. P. Kinsella, and includes his digressions on subjects like politics and why baseball inspires more fiction than other sports.
2. Old VHS tapes of the Jays' 1992 and 1993 World Series games.
Something to while away the long winter nights.
Here's a post on the subject, with many apt comments. Words fail me, frankly. But they didn't fail everyone.
