For my Morrowind loving friends! [24 May 2013|03:42pm] nyxalinth http://lparchive.org/Elder-Scrolls-3-Morrowind/ He doesn't take the game very seriously, but he's entertaining. Also, for someone who hasn't played it much, he seems to do quite well with it.  the occasional illustrations done of his character and various NPCs have a certain charm. post comment

[24 May 2013|04:15pm] endlos_schleife Und so gehen fast 4 Jahre am Arsch der Welt zu Ende. Ich bisher noch nicht geweint, obwohl ich schon seit Dienstag Abend bei meiner ehemaligen Mitbewohnerin in St. Louis hocke. Am Montag war ich am feiern, ich hab endlich meinen Bachelor. Was jetzt kommt? St. Louis bis Dienstag, dann zwei Tage NYC und dann Deutschland. Danach? Wer weiß. Ich hab mich für eine Visaverlängerung und Jobs beworben. ABer bisher klappt es einfach nicht. Wenn ich nächsten Donnerstag die USA verlasse, kann es sein, dass ich in einem Monat wieder hier bin, oder dass ich erstmal wieder in Deutschland sein werde, wo ich wer weiß was tue. Ich wurde für mein Wunschmasterprogramm and der London School of Oriental and African Studies angekommen, aber ich werde um einen Zulassungsaufhalt bitten, dieses Jahr maches finanziell einfach keinen Sinn. Also werde ich jetzt erstmal das machen, was ich schon die ganze Zeit mache, mich für Jobs bewerben und weiterschauen. Und bis Dienstag nebenbei mit den 5 katzen und 2,5 (ein Welpe, kleiner als Kaninchengröße und zwei normale) meiner ehemaligen Mitbewohnering mich beschäftigen. 1 comment|post comment

[24 May 2013|02:25pm] rubygloomrox A 4-day weekend, teensy pistachio muffins, and some wine later. First, let's start this party with a nap and a work out. You know, I have nothing planned but taking care of business. Mostly business of the home and garden variety. I love decorating and fixing up the house and garden. So why has it been so long? Oh, and one more thing, can we get over this internet trend of comments and replies that start with, "Ummm..."? Because it just sounds rude, and right away nothing that follows it is going to be seen positively.l 1 comment|post comment

The Iraq War Wasn’t Inevitable [24 May 2013|01:26pm] poeroses Thomas Chiapelas offers up some strange Iraq war revisionism: The Bush administration should have emphasized Saddam’s whole dark history instead of focusing so much on stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. I call this strange revisionism because Chiapelas’ article reads like a series of Bush administration talking points from 2002-03. He recites the usual bills and resolutions (the Iraq Liberation Act! UNSCR 1441!) as if these vindicated or authorized the horrible decision to invade. The Bush administration did attempt to make Hussein seem uniquely deserving of regime change by dwelling obsessively on his past crimes in an effort to make the entirely unnecessary and unjustified invasion of Iraq seem like the right thing to do. Despite having done exactly what Chiapelas claims they didn’t do, the administration’s case for war was flimsy and riddled with holes. Even more strange is the assumption Chiapelas makes that confrontation with Iraq was “inevitable,” when it was anything but that. Iraq war hawks hate the phrase “war of choice” when it is applied to Iraq because it reminds everyone that the war was easily avoidable and didn’t have to happen. The Bush administration was not alone in wanting the war to happen, or at least it far from alone in supporting the decision to go to war, but had it not been for the administration’s determination to invade Iraq the war wouldn’t have happened. Naturally, those that continue to defend the indefensible decision to invade want to cling to the idea that the war was “inevitable” and something “forced” on the U.S. by Hussein, since this relieves the previous administration and supporters of the invasion of their responsibility for one of the greatest and most destructive blunders in the history of modern U.S. foreign policy. It’s completely untrue, and a Republican Party that clings to this falsehood is one that shouldn’t and won’t be trusted on foreign policy and national security anytime soon. http://www.theamericanconservative.com/larison/the-iraq-war-wasnt-inevitable/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-iraq-war-wasnt-inevitable post comment

Russia says Assad agrees ‘in principle’ to join Syria peace talks [24 May 2013|01:21pm] poeroses Mikhail Metzel/AP - Russian Foreign Minister Sergeiy Lavrov, right, greets Syria's Deputy Foreign Minister Fayssal Al-Mekdad, during their meeting in Moscow on May 22, 2013.

Magnetic Movie [24 May 2013|01:17pm] poeroses The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic ever-changing geometries . All action takes place around NASA's Space Sciences Laboratories, UC Berkeley, to recordings of space scientists describing their discoveries . Actual VLF audio recordings control the evolution of the fields as they delve into our inaudible surroundings, revealing recurrent ‘whistlers' produced by fleeting electrons . Are we observing a series of scientific experiments, the universe in flux, or a documentary of a fictional world? post comment
