Haven't been to Atlanta in several years. Looks like the Field Museum's touring chocolate exhibit is at the Fernbank now. Time to visit again? (Courtesy of Baltimore Snacker.)
Are regional dialects dying in the UK? Maybe. But part of me wonders if that isn't part of the normal life cycle of languages, accelerated maybe by the wonders of mass media.
Who told Rove et al. that they could or should rap? And the hopping around on stage? Ugh. Now, I'm a SC fangirl, so I'm a little biased...but being roasted by him last year was humiliating? More humiliating than this?
I laughed as I read Ellen’s review of Nauti Boy, not because it was funny, but because that was exactly what I thought the last time I tried to read a Lora Leigh book.
Another book on Chechnya that I should find. If I ever finish Anna Politkovskaya’s Dirty War. And Blackwater. And Chalmers Johnson's trilogy.
