“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”
No, the headline does not mean quite what you think it does. It is in fact a reference to VICTORY DAY – which for Europeans and Americans is May 8th, and for Russians is May 9th. For the latter, Victory Day, or День Победы, carries far more emotional weight and...
It really just does not matter how long the weekend is – Monday always comes along to pee in the punchbowl. If, like most of the world, May 1st is a holiday for you, then today isn’t so bad – but if you are in Amerikhastan, it isn’t one, as far...
This post is way late, but that is probably not a bad thing today. That is because, late in the day (my time, anyway), I heard the news that sent shockwaves throughout the media and political spheres. FOX News, in an apparent attempt to commit hara-kiri, has fired...
You know that wonderful feeling when you just ate a great steak, with sweet potato fries, and an excellent glass of red wine (or, in my case, more like 3 glasses), and then you went to sleep feeling content and happy and really good? And then your alarm went off WAY...
Well, it’s Monday again – or very close to the close of it, for me. I hope you all had a very happy and restful Easter, and were able to celebrate it properly, in reverence of the Lord and His miraculous Resurrection. For my part, I mostly pottered around,...
Monday has rolled around again, with that special Monday stench – two parts armpit, one part jockstrap. It is rather like New Jersey, only, y’know, worse. (Anyone who has ever driven past Seacaucus with the windows rolled down on a hot day knows what I am...
Monday. Just… eughh. That being said, this weekend wasn’t all that much fun either, so perhaps it is all for the best that we are back to work. This week promises to be a hectic one for me, at least, but all I can say is, for the time being, it’s...
Well, I don’t necessarily feel that way, since my commute to work is all of about 10 feet – for extreme introverts like me, the Coof was a huge blessing in disguise, because it permanently shifted the world away from commuting to the office, and over to a...
Ugh. Monday. Again. (By the way, fun fact – you remember the voice of Optimus Prime? Peter Cullen? He has also provided the voice for Eeyore, since 1988. Pretty amazing if you think about it.) And this Monday is particularly bad, because we just saw the failures...
Oh joy, it’s Monday again… said literally no one EVER. Hopefully your weekend was somewhat more eventful than mine – I spent most of it either asleep, or playing HALO, because I’ve been on antibiotics for the past 5 days, and I have another 5...
