I was at a house party last night talking to Seattle in the corner (the only yanks at the party – were were probably talking about Mexican food at the time cuz that’s all Pete and I ever talk about – and I just realized I have two american friends, not just one like I mentioned a few days ago)….Mexico comes up and says ‘oh look…it’s the oppressors corner’…
My response was ‘remember the alamo’…which is possibly my greatest comeback ever 🙂 It was all I could think of and that was probably only because earlier in the day I was attempting to compare Russia’s ‘defense’ of South Ossetia to the American’s ‘defense’ of the free state of texas…
here’s an article titled ‘Looking for the next South Ossetia’

Georgia does border Turkei…I was wrong on that one…

I downloaded some Flogging Molly yesterday. I used to listen to them in the States, but got bored and when I started listening to the Pogues again I couldn’t go back to Flogging Molly, but after a long break from hearing them I really like them again…

Watched a movie called “the proposition” and it might be the best western I’ve ever seen. It takes place in Australia an the feeling of desolation shown in that movie is so much more sweeping than I’ve seen in anything up to this point. Credit the Australian landscape and the Aussie, Irish and brit actors. Great performances. Great scenery. Well shot!
