For the birds... - October 1, 2007

Bah!

One of the top-five worst concerts I have ever seen. Decent lazy weekend (quite rare), of cloudy weather and days spent in bed. A bit overcome with how little of the Spanish language I actually know, also filled with glee devouring the new Naomi Klein book, The Shock Doctrine.

Actually, as I stare at the horrific pile of books both spent and un-spent next to my bed, I think I will begin some sort of Nick Book-of-the-Week club. Yes, brilliant. More to come.



Caught "The War on Democracy" this weekend, heavy handed, but a simple and sobering re-telling of some of America's brutal acts in South America. For a real treat, check out any episode of "Alo Presidente" on youtube, Chavez's wickedly bizarre weekly show in Venezuela. I swear, the masses will never oust a big jolly man who wears only red and has his own tv show. Of course there was that messy business with the elves...



Anywho, to help us all deal with the disappointments of global politics and vis-a-vis, Ian's rantings, here is a video of me being attacked by Emus:


Bye guys!
