i never heard of piers morgan until i heard his name on a steampunk rap diss track. :D

with a name like that they deserve all of the attention. :D

as someone who lives in europe, anything that requires canned or pre-packaged anything... i usually cannot find these recipe shortcuts! nor do i want them... i do not mind making the extra step if needed, this is not an obstacle. but calling for a can/package of soup or a spice package as an ingrediant, for example, is…

this was a very informative article, it was definitely worth the read. but, one thing that makes me cringe is anything scientific using imperial units, muchless mixing imperial and international units to make it even more confusing. can we just kill those, or at least use them in parentheses as secondary for…

ok, that is interesting. i was curious. i could not imagine that they would do much to change the nudity, but i am sure that it would be pearl-clutchingly shocking to certain segments of the population. :)

these are really great kids stories, but i am not sure how well the nudity is handled in the american releases. it’s silly, but in europe here we do not have the nudity hangups. my kid watched a several of these at pre-school, and read the books from the library. in the stories, the women are all topless, kirikuo is…

FLACK!!!

that’s not ugly! that’s a work of art! :D

ummm... i am really confused now, because this is a channel i watch but it is not at all any music. i get marbozir and a video game playthrough. something wrong with kinja and videos today?

they play pretty fast and loose with variations of regional specialties in the NY Times food section a couple of months ago. i am only an immigrant to south france and i was offended by their “pissaladière” sandwich which was an abomination even to my eyes! if want to make a french person spit with rage, in…

i am willing to bet money that the square light is the brake and it says “stop” when lit. :)

slightly larger...

well with a reverse image search you get this...

everytime david tracy uses the phrase “holy grail” in reference to some jeep he found i think of this... :D

my winter image from south france. :D

this was my weather yesterday. though almost all of france had been under a yellow or orange weather alert, only my département escaped and it was gorgeous! :D

yeah, i reread the earthsea quadrology recently again. they were totally worth it! :)

nothing new so far... i am still waiting for my relief check, since i live overseas and it’s still in the mail.

i flew into calcutta with my older sister and my elderly dad before the turn of the millenium. a couple of years beforehand, i had backpacked in india for 8 months. my dad had served in the army airforce during WWII as a flight surgeon officer/ search and rescue paratrooper in papua new guinea and india, flying…

as i mentioned the other week, i see a lot of these recently at the local lycée, the french equivalent of high school. (there are also a ton of the ICE versions running around and i imagine there are even cheaper.) they are, left to right, the renault twizy and the citroen ami. you can lease the ami for 19€ a month…
