I have no brilliant witty ideas today so I thought I'ld jsut share some of the haiku I've written this month with you.

... and fit into a 5 75 pattern without distorting english grammar too much!

Sunday May 4
After seeing a photo in the travel section of the sunday papers

A Dream of Snow
Clouds floating beyond the lake

Ah! Fujisan.

MAY 12 . Our dining/living room window overlooks a mjaor intersection near an are awith a lot of units and a private school.

The mist lifts slowly
Also slow. Workers Students.
Walking thru the cold.

May 14 Hornsby Park

Lunch time is over
Gray scattered over the green
Despondent pigeons.

Enjoy!

How to recycle Storm wreckage

May 13th 2008 07:40

How to Recycle Storm Wreckage and show Burma's Generals How Much You Love them. Hints for the population of the Irrawaddy Delta ... what's left of it.

One: Show the world there's no problems with sewage contaminated rice!
Cook it and donate it to your favorite general as a gift.
After all they're been recycling "gifts" !

Two: All those fallen trees what to do with them? Help the tourism industry! Just push them all into whatever ditches are draining flood water off golf courses! Everyone knows rice paddies are much more scenic than golf courses!

Three: Shoddy constructions by corrupt builders falling apart? Keep those bits of concrete or brick and use them to build barricad .... oops graffiti walls and spray them with the words "We love democracy! "

Four: Soldiers not hanging around long enuff for you to show your gratitude for them making sure you use up all that old dirty rice first? Why not block the road with storm debris then playfully club the soldiers with fallen branches and then invite them for dinner!

Five: City Yuppies showing up with instant noodles packets and sweets! Take them on an information tour and treat them to some local cuisine but dont forget to ask them how you're going to cook the noodles and with what? Contaminated water ?

Six: Grandmothers and fathers is one of your children or children's child in the military?
Why not pay a visit to the barracks and tell them how much you love them and dont forget to show them photos of the family home. Pity there's nothing left of it!

Seven: Soldiers why not have an interesting conversation with your commander about work assignments. Clearing up storm damage is a great form of exercise! The people will love you! They'd love to see your helicopters in action delivering aid. They may even politely not comment on the strange way various generals' names are stencilled over the UN tags.

Show Burma's military how much you love them! You know they deserve it!

I dont normally do Satire or post to the Politics category but it seems the only response to whats going on in Burma!

Gothical Words

May 12th 2008 06:53

GOTHICAL WORDS

All the words in the following list can be found in the full set of the Oxford Dictionary!

I didnt make any of them up!

Whether you're a Goth and word lover enjoy!

Gothic Gothian Gothian Gotic Gotique Gothicke Gottic Gothical Gothically Gothicism Gothicist Gothicize Gothish Gothicness

The actual original goths seem to have called themselves Gutthioda which the Greeks changed to Gutoi and the Romans Gothii. Our Saxon ancestors called them the Gota(n).

Enjoy!
