My best friend from college had her baby boy last week. I’m mesmerized… Isn’t he the cutest little thing? I’m so happy for her and her hubby. Congrats, Martha and Gunter!
I’m an auntie… Kinda!

Iraq, Korea and the Whole Damn Thing
The Korean hostages that are being killed by the Taliban, are they considered “civilian casualties” in this stupid so-called war against terrorism? How many more dead people do we have to hear about before someone does something? The Taliban making demands that I’m sure are as stupid as the war is, but hello, anybody home?
Of course my views may be scarily simplistic and the issue is not to be solved just like that. But when I read the news in the morning, everything jumped right in front of my eyes. The insanity of it all, the injustice of it all. Did you know that to this day there are 8 MILLION VICTIMS of the war in Iraq? Yes, 8 million people who have had their lives messed up. I wonder, how did things get better over there after March 2003? I seriously don’t see it.

I remember when I spent hours reading the news and trying to put my thoughts down in words in this weblog. I was so full of anger toward those who wanted war. These days I’m just… how can I call it? Resigned. I see the madness of humanity and I just roll my eyes. I think that is sad, I think I should start saying something again.
The more frustrating thing is that there isn’t really anything I can do. Or is there?
Makeover Done
OK, after months and months of procrastinating, I finally changed my weblog layout. No elaborated images, just the three columns I wanted. I found the theme at Theme Viewer, changed the colours with the help of my very favourite Color Toy and voilà!
The Simpsons Movie
What is there to say about The Simpsons Movie that critics around the world haven’t said? It is HILARIOUS! As in, you start laughing your butt off within the first 30 seconds. And it doesn’t stop, the movie is just THAT good.
Michael says that The Simpsons Movie is basically a super-sized episode, which makes it even more enjoyable because you don’t have to read the the “To be continued.” sign to know what’s going to happen. It is completely fun-packed and the characters are EXACTLY the same as in the TV show, with their antics, their quirks and ALL of them are included in the movie. Well, I didn’t see Groundskeeper Willie, but maybe I just missed him.
They did it, great film!

Flickr Goodness
One of my favourite things to do when I’m bored, or not busy, is looking at the Explore section in Flickr. I can spend endless minutes in there, looking at their interestingness in the last 7 days. Then I just choose the photos that move me the most and add them to my favourites.
I’m amazed by some people’s talent with photography. I do not possess it, I do not crave it (too much). I just enjoy the fact that I have a pair of eyes that allow me to see beauty through someone else’s lens.
