One of them, about two to three hours into the drive, had BISWAS written on the side, in capital letters! Unfortunately I have no photographic evidence (we were in a bus)!

If you’re interested, check wikipedia or Amazon.com.

I know, I know, some of you Arabs/Arabic speakers (hmm do any read here?) will come and tell me what the actual significance of the phrase BISWAS is but for now…I prefer to imagine!

It all started here.

Well ewe sent me this funny comic!

I don’t know if they have archives, so I’ve mirrored it here.

Oh well, Maybe I will stop reading now….
Who knows.
Train wreck.

Help me.
You know what would help…if I had my camera to keep my busy.
But that’s another post entitled…Chennette, I have the setup for you!

How patronizing.
And you know what Susan is just as bad as Paul and she hasn’t apologized or anything as far as we can see. Because they don’t feel guilty, of course. And don’t tell me he lied to her too about breaking up with Liz because if he did and she’s still with him she’s an idiot.

Lynn! How could you!

I caved.
I hadn’t read since Sunday. I mean I didn’t read even Sunday.
But I just read it.

Still NO EXCUSE!
I don’t think it makes him look any better.
She was going to stay.
She changed her mind.
She told him.

He told her or led her to believe he got transferred down to her.

HOW SEXIST!

He’s a Northerner. He’d never make it over there. But one expects her to make it here. How can he say, oh I’m getting the transfer…when would he say he was being transferred to Spruce Narrows and not Ontario. This paints him as an even worse cad/scoundrel.

Rachel linked me to a friend’s LJ which pushed me to read it, pointing out that Lynn’s message is “all aboriginals should stick together”.

Today’s strip says it’s more than just Paul and Susan. It’s the town/village. Weren’t any of them her friends?

If I were Liz…well I won’t say it but I would be very distrusting of all humans.
I’d go off and live like a hermit away from “well meaning people” and “friends”

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGH!!!!!!!!!

I better go reread my nice webcomics.

Just so you know, I have no problem with her having moved back home.

back to the growling.

It better be something else.

How can you make him a nice guy and then make him bad.
The only “positive” about that is that it’s possible she’s setting Liz up with Warren and not Anthony but still…

*steups*

She should just be single. Isn’t she younger than me???

I thought you would like to know, not only do you share a birthday with your maternal grandmother but…you also share one with Merle Hodge!

(At least, so I was informed by her niece!)

Your loving aunt.

As my sister says, disagreeing on choosing a guy is not a problem. But having faulty logic and stupid statements and more specifically, “changing reality” is unpardonable.

She abandoned Paul.
*sigh*

Maybe she should cheat on him and then she’d be a perfect bad person too.

It’s been back since September…over two-year hiatus and I used to check oh so regularly, every two months or so….and the one time I stop checking (well it’s been a hectic term, you know), it comes back and *now* I have to get up-to-date.

:-)

And I followed a link and found another comic!

LEGOSTAR GALACTICA!!!

I quite like it!
Also, it started in August 2002 and I have reached, as of now, while grading (it’s helped keep me awake November 2004). Poor me! :)

He must have loads of legos!

And this is just too funny.

I *love* Applegeeks.

‘Blast!’ he muttered, staring at the ground.

From, the first (??) UK Edition of Jasper Fforde’s The Well of Lost Plots.

Note to Jamie: I’ll finish it soon…I promise!!!

Hayao Miyazaki, the director of the acclaimed Japanese animation film Spirited Away, has been busy since completing the Oscar-winning film over two years ago. An avid reader of children’s literature, he has settled on Howl’s Moving Castle as the basis for his next film.

On a not so related note I didn’t go to the gym today because I was sick and if you don’t believe it, well I had the greatest impetus possible to get myself to the gym but …

Now I went to Northampton on Saturday and visited my favourite bookstore The Space-Crime Continuum and bought the latest volume of the Spiderwick Chronicles, Book 4 The Ironwood Tree by Tony diTerlizzi and Holly Black so I am very happy.

It’s a quintet of books for children about faeries and other such creatures.

After their parents’ divorce, three children and their mother move into this old house that belongs to a member of the family. In it, they find a secret room and a book with the secrets of faerie. From then on, the faerie try all methods possible to try to get the book away from the children.

It’s very good light children literature :-)

I finally bought my copy and I got it with me! Woohooo.
It’s a pretty awesome comic strip written by a Stanford PhD student (well, I think maybe he graduated finally).

It’s funny and very true to life about graduate student life (well at least for the sciences). But as I said it’s funny and true which makes it sad and depressing.

I’m laughing at the stress these people are going through and I’ve been through it myself. Makes it even more depressing.

But it’s nice to know I’m not alone.

Anywayz, if you go to PhD Comics you can actually read all the archives from the get go. The link is also there, along with Calvin and Hobbes.

Enjoy!

Oh! I think the book is only the first 5 years of the strip :-)

oh…and of course guy who goes to war, almost drowns sees something, valuable jewellry perhaps, gets it gets out..etc
then asks someone what they’re thinking of when telling said story and gets told above…
