Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

So, Amina, "Gay Girl in Damascus" is an American man living in Istanbul. [link]

The sad thing is, there is no authentic voice reaching the west from Syria, and god knows we need one.

Had to run back to my car several blocks away in a torrential rainstorm (at least I had an umbrella?) Had to take my shoes off, they were too slippery.

And I come home to discover dripping in the back bedroom ceiling by the downspout. Sigh. Roof's only 2 years old. I oughta call the roofer. And the downspout people.

Wouldn't it be nice if Ruler on Ice turned out to be the Kelso or Forego of our time?

Meanwhile John Velazquez is STILL pissed off.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, wow, electronic intifada played a part in busting him! I used to frequent them a lot back in my more activist days. I should get them back on my radar.

And man, that's more detail than I'd heard from Velazquez. Have you seen the head on replay, sumi? What do you think? I couldn't tell what had happened during the immediate aftermath of the race.
