Boring Porn
I can understand the woman’s reaction, but what kind of porn puts a man to sleep?
Pakistan and Afghanistan
This random rant is brought to you courtesy of Tacitus: Pakistan itself, meanwhile, is happily engaging in its national pasttime of effectively ignoring its extremists and conducting small-scale aggression against its neighbors. Is Islamabad an ally? I guess if Riyadh is, sure. And I deserved to get hit, because he works hard and I didn’t… Continue reading Pakistan and Afghanistan
X2 and T3
This was the weekend of sequels and single letters. We finally watched X2. It’s good; in fact, it’s better than the first one. But you definitely should have seen X-men before watching X2. There is not much character development and screen time is divided almost equally. Definitely one of my favorite comic book movies. We… Continue reading X2 and T3

While looking through the search results, I noticed a report Beyond the Veil: Israel-Pakistan Relations… Continue reading Israel and Pakistan – A Report
Yellowcake and Moussaoui
No, I am not trying to link the two. These are the big news in recent days. I thought about blogging about them, but I don’t have anything original to say and lots of bloggers have already posted about it. The blog central for information on the Bush claim that Iraq was trying to get… Continue reading Yellowcake and Moussaoui
Honda Civic R.I.P.
Amber’s car was in the workshop since her accident. Now, we have found out that the frame of the car is damaged and our insurance is declaring the car a total loss. I am surprised since the airbags did not deploy. So I thought she was not going fast. We bought the silver 1999 Honda… Continue reading Honda Civic R.I.P.
