uh, youtube is the most dangerous procrastination tool ever.
Oh, 10 minutes to leave? well, maybe i'll just pop in a title on youtube and see if they've got it.
.... an hour later... phone rings...
Hi Tulsa! We're all here at the Church and were just wondering if you were still planning to join for the Wedding? If not, that's cool, but do you think you could drop off the rings we gave you to hold for us?
Okay folks, the above is an exaggeration. but it could happen. with youtube. cuz youtube is that addictive.
A leading presenter on China Central Television's English-language channel has revealed himself to be a xenophobic hate-monger. WHY does he still have a job? Lobby for his dismissal - by any and all means.
Days Ai Weiwei was detained
80
With ironic, sinister symmetry, the celebrity artist/activist was incarcerated on the same day that my friend Wu Yuren was finally released from 10 months' detention.
Now, like Wu, he's been released on extremely restrictive 'bail' terms - but could face re-arrest at any moment. He was detained incommunicado from April 3rd to June 22nd 2011.
Days Wu Yuren was in prison
307
"Released on parole" after 10 months; "parole" lifted another year later. The original charges against him were apparently dropped without his trial ever being formally concluded.
Froog is an escaped lawyer - but there is no need for alarm; he is only a danger to himself, not to the general public. An eternal wanderer, he now lives in an exotic city somewhere in the 'Third World' *, where he is held prisoner by an unfinished novel (or, more precisely, an unstarted novel). He spends a lot of time running, writing, taking photographs, and falling in love with women who fail to appreciate him. He also spends a lot of time in bars.
