Today was a lazy day for photography, as I have been writing like a bat out of hell. My small lava lamp. Click on the small picture to get a bigger one at 640 pixels wide (10+KB)
Myself and comments
July 20, 2004
I, like most bloggers, welcome comments on my site. In fact, as much as my closed-door writing can encourage them. However, I am not a fan of reading comments at other people’s blogs.

I’m gonna let my brass balls hang with this opinion, so if you hate… Continue reading this entry

More than the matter of this matter, I find much more interesting the huge party (go through Doc Joyner’s links) we on the Right seem to be throwing over this. Let us stop… Continue reading this entry
Happy bunnies and muezzin calls

Tita Gloria is in a pre-USS Cole state of mind: “We must rejoice at the good news, but our happiness must be tempered by the awareness that we live in dangerous times and that we must work to create a more peaceful world,†Mrs. Arroyo said. — AP for the Manila Times Maybe her idea… Continue reading this entry
