NINAS RABBIT

You know, right now you should be looking at an endearing video of a short eared rabbit of the local city variety delicately nibbling carrot stalks carefully placed by myself outside my basement bedroom window. Because I told my wife I would regularly do so before she flew off into the raging sharp teeth of a savage Winterpeg Prairie storm on Feb. 16th trying to make Riga via Toronto and Frankfurt with an impacted wisdom tooth and absolutely no hope of success. She failed miserably at Toronto bye the way, a short run.

Well, you're not going to see the aforementioned rabbit in any recognized video format unless I re-record the admittedly easily staged event with my iPhone or some newer as yet un-purchased model of video velocipede since none of the files produced by these old technologies in my satchel (HP Flip as an example) will function anymore except as local feedback. Meaning, useless! Might as well let a cop steal it.

So tomorrow I shall shatter my Flip HP on Main street outside Earls before I go in for my Guinness and vegetarian foot massage with an accommodating local blogger, because the `flip has finally been flopped.

And I haz a sad. It was a fine piece of gear.

Latviešu Sportistus, Latvian Sportman

I think it should read "Latvian Sportmanship" because a majority of the comments show an appreciation of the humour at play in this animated series and also deliver a few good shots back.

"Family Guy" mocks Latvian sportsmen

If you're already accustomed to the animated series "Family Guy" you've heard and seen all kinds of "black jokes". Unfortunately, this time the laughter shows Latvian athletes in a bad light.

Scenes from the latest series shows students whose classmate is ridiculed for funny branded shoes. The student defends himself by saying that his mother had told him that these shoes were popular with Latvian athletes.

Then a smoking man appears in the scene who tells the story with a strange accent that these shoes fit a variety of sports, and they are sold one by one.

"YouTube" has one commentator implying that Americans should show their anger at the fact that we have the best beach volleyball (remembering the London Olympics).

Keeping It (Un)Real With Tom Waits

Spending way too much time visiting in medical centres lately. Need relief.

Everyone gets old folks. Everyone.

Out of Office Reply

As you may have noticed posts have been scarce if not totally absent lately as I am out of country for a short while. But I'll try to write something about my present location (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada) that may be relevant to my loyal readers across the pond. For instance when fighting a writing block you can always talk about the weather right? So here it is. Makes you feel not so bad about your own?
