Toys 'ʁ' Us

Dammit... well that's what I get for flipping the keyboard.
I humbly concede, now I need to find a mirror to keep next to the computer just in case I need that backwards R.

I hate it when I want to find something that I had read online, but the search space can only be vaguely defined. In this case it was this poignant use of the subjunctive, If America were Iraq, What would it be Like? (I'll get to that later.) Unfortunately, and it happens often, I frequent many an often updated blog, and simply flipping through archives does not always help. It actually surprises me that, at this point, there is no simple tool (*hint, hint firefox extension) to search through the pages of one's browser history in the browser. (Yeah, yeah, there are external tools. But they're all Windows tools, and are useless to me.)

Anyway, to the article itself. I got my dad to watch Control Room tonight (although he is currently sleeping through the most important part) and we got into a discussion about objectivity. His point was that, right now, everyone is focussing on the negative in Iraq, and not on the good being done. Beyond the fact that the media never talks about the good (when was the last time you heard about palestinians not suicide bombing israelis (they can't all be vociferously climbing the 'fence' and eagerly blowing themselves up)?), I'm not sure that things in Iraq are as good as the President says they are. On the one hand, they claim that elections are on the way in January. On the other, the best case is tenuous stability, and the worst is civil war. Nevertheless, based on facts we do know, the Juan Cole comment is significant. I don't pretend to know how good or bad it is, but it's clearly not as good as the President says it is.



Oh, and Beck, Leo was right. You need a mirror to write Toys 'Я' Us. In the profound words of Zelos, "I'm too pretty! Seriously!"

Haven't done this in a while. A Something Awful Unlikely Movie Prequels:

In case you were interested that last info came from here
It's an interesting read especially if you've ever played any type of RPG.

For the Geekfesters:

Yggdrasill: (or Yggdrasil) This giant ash tree grows through the center of the nine worlds. It was neither born, nor will it ever die ... Yggdrasill is eternal and pervades the cosmos. The fruit of this tree guarantees a harmless childbirth, and the dew from its leaves is the sweet nectar from which bees make honey. High in its branches it is said lives an eagle, and at its lowest roots dwells the dragon Nidhogg. Upon its trunk, the squirrel Ratatosk scampers from roots to branches carrying cryptic messages between the dragon and the eagle. The tree gathers water from three wells, one of which is in Asgard and is called the Well of Urd, another is in Midgard and is called Mimir's Well, and the third is in Niflheim and is known as the Spring of Hvergelmir. In order to learn the wisdom of the dead, Odin willingly suspended himself on Yggdrasill for nine nights, during which time he was pierced in his abdomen by a spear. Legend also states that upon Ragnarok (the end of the world) there will be a man and a woman, Lif and Lifthrasir, who will hide inside the trunk to survive the devastation. This couple will bear children and begin a new phase in the cycle of man.
