Toadfish Monastery

An early Scandinavian horror movie...

Whatever it is I got to find it and watch it.

Could anyone explain this "wrapped" and "unwrapped" thingie?

No No No snow. London comes to a standstill with a teaspoonful.

It's fascinating to see that big city just grind to a halt because of a little snow...

And Griffin, you must admit London looks pretty in white.

Scandinavian?

I should recognize it, but I don't. I think I recognize some of the actors but not well enough to know their names.

Thank you for the heads up!

I will be on the countryside dog sitting around the 18/11 so I actually have a chance to see The Leonids (there's too much light pollution where I usually live).
 

Incoming!!!

Happy birthday Bluenose!

Glomp!





And thank you Beagle and Mero!

Sleep. I should really be in bed soundly asleep...

Am I tired? No.
Argh!

Thank you all!

I had a great birthday.
And a great birthday dinner with good food, good friends and a lot of silliness and laughter.

I got two snowflakes accepted without giving them any address or a very valid location.

Maybe their bot reacts to something in your message or your name? Or maybe you have manage to cut out something that triggered the reaction?

 

Thank you!

Sibling Chatty and Aphos!

I just have to figure out a place to upload it to and save it...

I'm between internet providers right now and don't have a place to host it.

Happy Halloween!

The Monks are back on the streets of Pakokku a city in central Burma.

BBC reports that: "The procession in Pakokku was ostensibly a religious affair. The monks gathered at a shrine, and walked chanting through the town. But it is hard not to see this as a challenge".
And that "the procession also took place on the same day a pro-government rally was staged by the authorities, although it is not clear whether the monks' rally was a direct response." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7071018.stm

Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter also reports that the monks where chanting lyrics from the Metta Sutta a Buddhist text about love and peace as they walked from the monastery of Sasana Wihmula to a pagoda in the city.

Those monks must have backbones of steel. Their courage is admirable and humbling.
I really wish there was more I could do.

 

I watched "Natural City" a Korean Blade Runner style SciFi movie last night.

Much darker than the usual Hollywood production, I liked it.
