Just saw this. Think it’s quite cool; thought I’d share it. Noah’s Ark re-built.

So, Tim and I were supposed to go along with our good friends Dave and Mendy to see the filming of The IT Crowd at Pinewood Studios in between Uxbridge and Slough in Buckinghamshire. It’s outside London by quite a bit. We had our tickets, which were free, and were excited to see the show. [...]

Could Bush look any more stupid than in this video? So embarrassing.

A small victory for the Iraq war opposition today. The US House of Representatives yesterday passed a bill setting out a timetable for US troop withdrawal from Iraq. With an original firm deadline of August 2008 for pulling the troops out, the House instead accepted Senate language of setting a ‘goal’ of getting troops out [...]

I have not read an op-ed piece in the Guardian more insightful, informed or thought-provoking than this one. Naomi Wolf is an American writer and in this article argues that Bush is taking American down the road towards fascism like that of Hitler, Mussolini and Pinochet. It is quite lengthy but well worth the read [...]

I doubt it’s just me but I really think Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is severely unhinged. It’s coming to the point that I do not seriously fear Iran or anything they may or may not be doing; I have to laugh at them. Take this interesting bit for an example.

There really is no better place to discuss current affairs than in a British pub, especially sitting outside in the garden on a warm spring evening drinking copious amounts of cider. I did just such a thing Thursday night with a few of my work colleagues. The topic of the Virginia Tech shootings came up [...]

So, I thought for my first proper post, I’d discuss a couple of books I’m ‘reading.’ I say ‘reading’ because I’ve started all of them because they seem so interesting but, probably because they’re non-fiction, I just can’t seem to continue any of them! I sit on a train for around forty minutes a day [...]

Hello and welcome! After viewing blogs from two of my friends (thanks Dave and Meghan) I’ve decided to enter the blogosphere! Big thanks to my wonderful and oh-so-technologically-advanced husband, Tim, for helping me to get things started. I’m hoping this blog will allow friends from Arkansas to keep up with my life here in London [...]
