Them and US

US pilots unsuccessfully crossing the river in a competition in Abu-Dhabi, whereas the Russian pilots did a great stunt in China (that is not a reflection, its two jets)

Ambien invasion

being so sick for 10 days now with the storm of flu that invaded NYC lately, I am finally back a little feeble but nonetheless back.

Andy Borowitz, one of my fav comedians was able to co-relate results of a recent study on Ambien with the War on Iraq

peruse his analysis here

Cute kitten...Awwww...

I love this picture so much. Not only for the bright colours of the sheets on the couches (it was an outdoor seating of a cafe) but also for the way the lil' kitten yawned...Wow, so cute...Awwwwwwwww.....

Subway dancing kids!

As I was changing trains on NYC subway, I saw this bunch of kids freestyling and twisting and turning with those amazing moves. Although I was running late, I decided to check them out, and sad thing I did that! as one of them was twisting on his head with his legs asunder he hit the bag where they collect the donations, and the whole thing shot at me (the only thing I remember is that blurry thing flying at me) and indeed it hit my head.

What I found most galling is that one of them actually came up to me later and insisted I should pay. I told him I want a compensation for that bag missile! I also didn't have the guts to take pictures of them after that...


INSOLENCE!

Not only Finn-shed but also Czech-ed out!

didn't get to get to the semifinals, and now failed to get the bronze. the Czechs beat us and got the broze, left Torino empty-handed

I am so disappointed with the Russian ice hockey team. Don't know what to blame? coaching? morale?

My speculation is that in Toronto 2010, Russians will have a better younger and more experienced players.

Indigo is on strike

My little Beta fish, Indigo, is on strike I guess. He is eating too little and hardly swims. This state of inertia he confined himself too caused him to put on some weight. I got him a filter today, and changed his diet to brine shrimp. I hope he gets better. I really feel gloomy when he is depressed...:-(
