Last night my friends and I played charades - it was so much fun! I love these kinds of games, just hanging out and playing games. I get so competitive with them!! I got one phrase which I found very difficult to act out: "Once Upon A Time". How do you do that one?!!
I think I need to create a group for people who want to get together once a week and play different kinds of games, like cards or charades or ... But how do i advertise for such a thing? "Wanted: Playmates!" Please apply!

Btw except for the ultra cool music of kiosk which i have been listening to non-stop for the past week, I have been trying to find a nice version of "Sway" which is the English version of "Quien Sera". Surely Dean Martin or someone like that sang it well. Anyone know? what about the spanish version? Does anyone know a nice version of it? Here is an instrumental version that I found. And here is the american idol version from last week - which I really liked. Which reminds me... they had a latin theme last week and guess who they had as their latino representative? oh yes, taco taco, burrito! :-P Ms J.Lo. (I hope you all got the South Park reference!). Anyway is she really a good representative I ask you? Didn't someone mention she doesn't even speak Spanish very well... although maybe all that hanging out with senor Marc Anthony has improved it. Anyway i don't know why I am giving her a hard time. May be it's also because not only is she not that big a latina but also she is not that big a singer!! So this is what happens when i don't miss out on watching american idol. I usually miss it because I am at my flamenco class.

Btw, this was really funny - a comic about World of Warcraft. It kind of reminds me of the South Park episode. Hil-arious. :-P

Oh Mein Gott!!

Dorian Gray is just awe inspiring. I am not sure if I am happy to see this video.

Have I mentioned how i dream in blocks now? not the blocks of tetris like in the past, but now the blocks of towers. the game is killing me. but softly. gently. with love. I sacrifice my hours with love.

Coolest Music Video

Today I have discovered the coolest music video ever - it is an iranian group called Kiosk and the song is called Eshgh e soraat (love of speed). For the iranians out there, enjoy the "pizza e ghorme sabzi" (!!) and for the non-iranians out there, enjoy the myriad of scenes from Iran! I love both the music and the clip!!

Oh and I am definitely going to the concert of the Abjeez later on this month! Yay!

When you are sick...

the world seems dim somehow. You really miss being in the bosom of your family. You miss someone hugging you and giving you energy. You miss being fussed over by someone. You miss having someone bring you medicine or drink or food or whatever when you are lying in bed and are too weak and tired and sick to move.
When you are sick... when I am sick, this is my world.
I have a cold :-(

Easter and Bunnies

Tonight I watched the funniest episode of South Park - it was a parody of The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown. I don't know how much of the episode to reveal but basically Stan questions the meaning of Easter (ie the resurrection of Jesus) and its relation to the tradition of coloring eggs and the easter bunny and then he finds out about this secret society called the ... hmm - I was about to reveal all the info! suffice it to say the morale of this story is that the Pope should not really be head of the church (not this pope, but any pope) and that they should not tell people or Christians how to live. Very nice message.
It always amazes me that those who are most religious cannot understand that religion is a personal thing and cannot be forced upon people. Who are they to dictate the word of God. Religion ideally should be spiritual, something that is felt within, something that you want to do yourself. Why is there this institution? Why is there a pope, an imam? why is Judaism a race?

I was listening recently to the radio and they were saying that Pope Benedict was pushing for the sainthood of Pope John Paul to be ordained. It seems that recently and especially in the time of Pope JP, there was an explosion in the number of people who were sainted - especially in their own countries. The idea was (is) that people relate better with contemporary saints. Therefore... Do you know why they claim Pope JP is a saint? because a nun who had parkingson's disease, said she and her fellow nuns prayed to Pope JP and then she was cured. She didn't want to call it a miracle, but... the church should call it that!! Seriously does this make sense? If JP needs to be distinguished because of his actions, say that. Why bring in the idea of holiness, especially when this holiness is given by fellow men, for this is how a pope is chosen right?
Anyway, the bottom line is that why the whole idea of sainthood? why is does religion like the classist way of life? Shouldn't all men be equal?
