Midnight Melodic (Chase The Blues)

Katya — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 18:23:32 -0000

Artist: Terranova
Album: Close The Door
Year: 1999

Nothing to do today
Nothing I want to do
Anyway
I think I'll lie here for a while
And try to escape
I'll block out the wind tower
Clouds run away
Leave me in the sun
I'm dreaming
On my own
Nothing to do today
Nothing I want to do
Anyway
I'll think of you
For an hour or two
And chase away the blues
You chase my blues away
Everyday
In my dreams
We say what we mean
We do what we feel
Love fills the days
You take my breath away
Nothing to do today
Nothing I want to do
Anyway
In my dreams there's no thrill to pay
No decisions to make
No consequence to take
And nothing grey.
Nothing was failed
No mistakes
And then I wake up
Nothing to do today
Nothing I want to do
Anyway
I think I'll lie here for a while
And try to escape
I'll think of you
For an hour or two
And chase away my blues
You chase my blues away
Everyday.

Jane Eyre (BBC 2006)

Katya — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 22:15:55 -0000

I watched this new BBC drama last night on Masterpiece Theatre on PBS, starring Ruth Wilson as Jane and Toby Stephens as Edward . What an outstanding production! Gorgeous costumes, great acting, beautiful settings. Ruth Wilson is a revelation! I was simply amazed by her performance. As for Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, it made me wonder again and again about works of art that transcend time, space, and cultural barriers. Jane Eyre is definitely one of my all-time favorite novels.

"I don't know what's good and what's bad" - a Zen fable

Katya — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 19:24:32 -0000

A farmer got a white horse as a gift for his son. His neighbor told him: "You're lucky. No one ever gave me such a beautiful white horse". A farmer replied: "I don't know whether it's good or bad".
Later, a farmer's son rode the horse, but the horse threw him off and the son broke his leg.
"Oh, it's terrible! - said the neighbor. - You were right when you said that it could be bad. I'm sure a person who gave you the horse, did it on purpose, to harm you. Now your son will limp for the rest of his life!"
But the farmer was not very upset. "I don't know whether it's good or bad", - he said in reply.
Then the war started and all young men were required to join the army, except for the farmer's son with his broken leg. Again, the neighbor said: "Your son is the only one in the village who is not going to war. He is very lucky." Then the farmer said: "I don't know whether it's good or bad".

2006 Darwin Awards

Katya — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 19:58:41 -0000

http://darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin2006.html
Named in honor of Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, the Darwin Awards commemorate those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.

1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up in Long Beach, California, would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked.

And now, the Honorable Mentions:
    2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat-cutting machine and submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company expecting negligence sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and he also lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved.
    3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
    4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies T he deception wasn 't discovered for 3 days.
    5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.
    6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer: $15. (If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?)
    7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinderblock through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinde rblock and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinderblock bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.
    8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."
    9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a ma n walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan, at 5 a.m., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash regis ter without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.

******A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER*****
10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to pre ss charges, saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had.

Cisco Sues Apple Over Use of IPhone Name

AP Business Writer

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Cisco Systems Inc. said Wednesday it is suing Apple Inc. in federal court over Apple's use of Cisco's registered iPhone trademark for its new handheld device.

Cisco has owned the trademark on the name "iPhone" since 2000, when it acquired InfoGear Technology Corp., which originally registered the name.

And three weeks ago, Cisco's Linksys division put the trademark to use, releasing an Internet-enabled phone called "iPhone" that uses the increasingly popular Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP.

On Tuesday, Apple unveiled the iPhone, its "game-changing" touch- screen-controlled cell phone device that plays music, surfs the Web and delivers voicemail and e-mail.

"Cisco entered into negotiations with Apple in good faith after Apple repeatedly asked permission to use Cisco's iPhone name," said Mark Chandler, Cisco senior vice president and general counsel, in a statement. "There is no doubt that Apple's new phone is very exciting, but they should not be using our trademark without our permission."

Cisco is seeking injunctive relief to prevent Apple from copying Cisco's iPhone trademark.

"Today's iPhone is not tomorrow's iPhone. The potential for convergence of the home phone, cell phone, work phone and PC is limitless, which is why it is so important for us to protect our brand," Chandler added.

If you see me walking down the street
Or in the pages of your magazines
Lookin' just a little differently
Showin' off a softer side of me
They say I'm looking like a lady
They say that love has gone and changed me
But don't be fooled by everything you see
I gotta let the naughty in me free

There's a woman inside of all of us
Who never quite seems to get enough
Tryin' to play by the rules is rough
Cause sooner or later something's gonna erupt us cause

I still got the nasty in me
Still got that dirty degree, still got it
And if you want some more, sexy
Still got that freak in me, yea

I still got the nasty in me
Still got that dirty degree, oh yea
And if you want some more, sexy
Still got that freak in me

No matter what you're thinking of me, still dirty
And if ya still rolling with me, still got it
No matter what you're thinking of me, still dirty
Still got that freak in me

Why is a woman's sexuality
Always under so much scrutiny
Why can't she do exactly as she please
Without being called a million things
They say I'm not the girl they used to know, used to know
Cause I don't always wear revealing clothes, oh oo woah
But don't be fooled, the moment I get home
I'm letting loose, giving a private show, oh dont cha know

There's some women out there
Who talk and stare
Who never seem to let down their hair
Like to pass judgement but they're just scared
And don't know what they're missing
So they better beware

I still got the nasty in me
Still got that dirty degree
And if you want some more, sexy
Still got that freak in me, still got it in me

I still got the nasty in me
Still got that dirty degree, oo yea
And if you want some more, sexy
Still got that freak in me, oh yea

No matter what you're thinking of me, still dirty
And if your still rolling with me, still got it
No matter what you're thinking of me, still dirty
Still got that freak in me

Don't tell me to behave
Cause I'll never play that game
Don't tell me what to do
Cause I'll never be uptight like you
Don't look at me that way
Cause I ain't never gonna change
And if you're talking bout my life
You're only wasting your own time

If I wanna wear lingerie outside of my clothes
If I wanna be erotic in my own videos
If I wanna be provocative, well that ain't a sin
Maybe you're not comfortable in your own skin

I still got the nasty in me
Still got that dirty degree, in me
And if you want some more, sexy
Still got that freak in me

I still got the nasty in me
Still got that dirty degree, in me
And if you want some more, sexy
Still got that freak in me
