So it's not really surprising that I'm jiving to The...

It was nothing new; she's always been this super smart, extremely pretty girl who I would envy just a little bit even on the best of days. So when she brought home her prize I was kinda bummed, feigning an eight-year-olds synthetic happiness for her (I had yet to win one on a whole grade level, although I had my moments with an occasional class prize for E.S and (gasp!) even Quran (unbelievable? Believe it)). Her prize, wrapped in shiny blue paper consisted...

They were replaced with corrugated tin roofs and later with cement coated galvanized aluminium shingles and so on. The politics of the individual (and the nation as A-Hole) has changed accordingly with the tides of time. The protectorate became independent (with small red, green and white flags waved in skinny, toffee coloured hands) and was ruled most sovereign under a narcissist imperial Monarchy (Et tu, Majid?) which was in turn toppled by a more superordinate-thinking Republic and so with the coming and goings of Odeon,...

I think it has a lot to do with all the time I spend on the net, blog hopping and whatnot. I'm talking about this really twisted dream I had last night, which as fate would have it, I still remember vividly - bit by freaky bit. I've bleeped out some parts though. I remember being in some Party meeting (funny since I don't even support a political group and have never been in a meeting) in a school compound surrounded by people; all these bodies (wearing shirts and tie's and...

Well not in the strictest sense of the word but the ol’ green thumb has been busy at work and today my very first flowers came into bloom (sounds weird but hah don’t care). Aren’t they lovely? I’ve never grown a plant before, much less religiously watered one or trimmed dead leaves off them. I figure I’m now as far up the totem pole of horticulture as my mother - or quite close to it anyway. (ok ok, that's not dew drops. i sprayed on some water for good measure/aesthetic...

Your wife/girlfriend is doing some spring cleaning. Do you a) be a model husband/boyfriend and help her out or b) find brother/son’s Spiderman mask amidst the clutter, don it on and hang from the banister squirting imaginary webs from your wrist? You and your husband/boyfriend are alone together (after a...

It is one thing to cover up bruises with a dismal layer of foundation but totally another to not understand that they are deferentially covering up a crime. There’s so much empowerment sessions I can be accommodative of, so many coffee’s and OJ’s (OJ hah!) I can swig down in one sitting for them. When their mom’s gave them the nifty life lesson on taking things with a pinch of salt, I’m sure that compliance to being bashed about (like on an effigy of Gayoom by a Sappe’...

Lata fought him to death, refusing to share food or let him sleep and eventually bit his tail off. What a bitch! This is Bappi and Lata when they first came home. http://raggedyanne.blogdrive.com/comments?id=66 http://raggedyanne.blogdrive.com/archive/65.html Sat, 05 Nov 2005 21:20:16 GMT I assumed that since my boyfriend is some years older than me (two to be exact, as of today), the sanity and insipidness which comes with the acumen attached to age, would be to his advantage and would most often than not, be a positive driving force for me to be more mature myself as a result. I was wrong. Age certainly didn’t stop him from quivering like a girl when iPod nano was launched and wisdom was MIA when he openly eyeballed a skimpily clad Pan-Asian lady in a semi-lurid pose featured on some magazine. You’d think her boobs popped out and shot at Kennedy the way he was...
