Sarah Palin has given a big boost to NBC’s Saturday Night Live, which has enjoyed consistently high rankings since Tina Fey found she resembled her enough to parody the Governor in a series of skits beginning with the season opener.

Tolstoy wrote that "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."I think about this often, rather surprisingly often; I'd say about once a week on average.

The new Pretenders' album is o.k. I like a few songs very much. I like the whole of it a little.

Jia has told me some stories about her education here in China. Usually, it comes up when she asks questions about America.

Last night I went to a friend's birthday party. The theme was 'op shop', which was great because I could wear pretty much half my wardrobe. I picked a loose pussy bow blouse and a tweed-look skirt.

After the party I stopped by a well-lit carpark and took some shots of my outfit for the night.I have wanted to

The irony of creative change: “The irony of creativity is this: people want to be creative without change. They want innovation with no risk. They want a new result with the same exact behavior.

If there's one thing I've learned over the past two-plus years, it's that irony requires a deft touch. Especially in written form.When an author writer writes about something, and the article turns out to be the best example of the subject, it's not really irony. Well, maybe it's dramatic or situational irony, but it's not truly ironic. And it's not really funny, either.Case in point: a discou
Mother’s Day is only a few short days away and for once in my life I have no desire to celebrate it. In fact, I am kind of dreading it. It’s not because my husband or kids don’t make this a special day for me [in fact my sweet daughter has been writing [...]
She wore a miniskirt. Being an open pew-less church, it pretty much showed a lot of “information” for all to see when she walked around. It would be more understandable if she was a teenager my age, you know, given the freedom of choice of what kind of dress to wear. But the thing is, she’s still a kid. I guesstimate that she’s around 6 or something. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I have pedophiliac tendencies here. Rather, I wanna pose a question: What are her parents thinking, dressing up their daughter like that for a mass? They’re giving their kid such a garb to wear, and let her wear it to the church? Geez. Christians are well notorious when it comes to what kind of dress code to wear to their place worship. Our Muslim brothers and sisters wear polite white atti

April 9, 2008I have been hard pressed to use TTG all week. I guess that is how it must really work. Once you have TTG, you don't spill anything on your shirt. Well, that is sort of how it has worked out for me. Except for yesterday. I was running late for work so I jumped up, fed the dogs, got dressed, packed my lunch, and hurried off to work. When I sat down at my desk I realized that I had spilled something all down the front of my shirt. I'll call it the huge mystery blob.Needless to say, using TTG was out of the question because then my shirt would have been sopping wet from top to bottom. Instead, I hid in my office most of the day and when I had to go somewhere in the building I carried a file to cover the front of my shirt. I had to Shout it out when I got home (after I too

Irony is the very soul of Jane Austen’s novels and “Pride and Prejudice” is steeped in irony of theme, situation, character and narration. Irony is the contrast between appearance and reality.As one examines “Pride and Prejudice”, one is struck with the fact of the ironic significance that pride leads to prejudice and prejudice invites pride and both have their corresponding virtues bound up within them. Each has its virtues and each has its defects. They are contradictory and the supreme irony is that intricacy, which is much deeper, carries with it grave dangers unknown to simplicity. This type of thematic irony runs through all of Jane Austen’s novel.In “Pride and Prejudice” there is much irony of situation too, which provides a twist to the story. Mr. Darcy remarks abou

This is not just irony; this is savage on a Jonathon Swift baby-eater scale. The tragedy is that - to borrow a phrase likely to be in Mr Blair's seminar - they know not what they do.
I think that Mr Blair is the greatest liar and sender of our armed forces into action under false pretences that this country has seen for perhaps 50 years.
And Yale University invite him to teach about "channelling religious values towards reconciliation not polarisation".
Ye gods.
It says all we need to know that the photo on the right (courtesy Yale Press Office) is labelled "Tony Blair PR". Yep, right in the filename; that about sums him up.
Anyway - for what it's worth (if anything) Yale is now permanently on my "institutions not to touch with a bargepole" list.

OK, so if you read here regularly you know I was stressing out about my son biting someone. He hadn't done it yet....just stressing about what to do if and when he did. We did have a biting episode on Friday...but it happened a little differently than I imagined.Friday night my parents and I took EB to a local blues and BBQ restaurant. They have a stage area where live bands play sometimes and on this stage there was an old rocking horse. A former classmate of mine and her children (which happen to be EB's age) were there and so EB and her son really took to each other and were playing on the rocking horse. We were all visiting and suddenly EB started crying. That "I've been hurt" heartbreaking cry. We figured friend's son had pushed him, so friend's son apologized and hugged EB and

I sent an inquiry to a blog I’d like to write for, 50-Something Moms Blog. I was talking to David about it.
As I adjusted the heating pad on my back, I asked, “do I know enough about being a middle-aged woman/mom to write an article twice a month?”
The irony wasn’t lost on either of us.
We were having a family discussion a couple of days ago about Secondlife. I registered with them a few months ago, went on the site a few times, wondered what the point of it was and have not been back since. My sons (particularly the elder one) are dismissive of it too. My wife commented something to the effect that it was for people to escape into when they didn't like the life they had. I smiled inwardly - her description reminded me of her favourite pastime, Church.(c) Hal Westhead 2007
Earlier this week, Lauren Starke, communications manager for New York Media, sent me a note about M-mv favorite Po Bronson's latest article in New York magazine:Parents consistently rate “honesty” as the trait they most want in their children; yet kids lie early, often, and for all sorts of reasons. In the cover story of this week’s New York magazine, Po Bronson writes about a singular theory for one way this wretched habit develops: Kids are just copying their parents.From “Why Kids Lie”:Encouraged to tell so many white lies and hearing so many others, children gradually get comfortable with being disingenuous. Insincerity becomes, literally, a daily occurrence. They learn that honesty only creates conflict, and dishonesty is an easy way to avoid conflict. And while they don’t
Electronics and Convergence
The consumer electronics space is ridden with attempts at convergence. All companies are building more features into existing products and hope to charge more. There are 2 schools of thought, one which favours convergence and the other which says that marketing has always been about segmentation, products will always be more divergent than convergent.

I return to the Czech Republic tomorrow and my friend emailed me on Friday to warn me that the weather was changing there. The snow was melting, so no skiing. The ice on the lakes likewise so no skating. She and her partner, along with the rest of the population of the Republic had been enjoying both. Now the weather had turned remarkably spring-like, just in time for my return. Although not a skater or a skiier I had been looking forward to the lovely cold bright days of the Czech winter.The irony was that the email arrived the very day I had taken three hours making a one-hour journey (from Oxford to Winchcombe). The reason for my long journey was a blizzard that swept in from the west, first there was torrential rain causing floods and then as the day turned night it turned to snow. I w

A colleague of mine emailed me this funny animated gif about a frustrated user. I thought it was comical from my own user experiences, especially prior to my UNIX system administration days. I hated going through the troubleshooting part, particularly when the SysAd showed up to resolve my issue after it had “magically” resolved itself. I remember the “all knowing” system administrator explaining away the issue or looking at me as if I had “timing and head space” issues. Frankly speaking, I find some irony in this rumination… ;)
Tragic irony was used initially in ancient Greek tragedy and later almost in all tragedies. Irony consists essentially in the contrast of the two aspects of the same remark or situation. A remark made by a character in a play may have one meaning for him and another meaning for other character and the audience or one meaning for the speaker and the other characters and another meaning for the audience. Similarly, a situation may have a double significance in the sense that a disaster may be foreseen by the audience while the characters may be ignorant of it. Irony heightens the tragic effect. Sophocles has used irony with striking effect in his plays.“Oedipus Rex” is replete with tragic irony and is found in most of the speeches and situations. There are many occasions on which the audience is aware of the facts while the speaker is ignorant of those facts and some other characters, on the other hand, present a contrast which lends an increased emphasis to a tragic fact or to the u
Life is so funny. When we were young, our parents looked after us. As we are growing, our parents get older. By the time we grow up and be sensible, they are the one who need our care and support. They are the ones who teach us, guide us and advice us. By the time we are old enough to have our own thoughts and idea, and also our own family, their health might not be as good as before too.
My parents have grown old and even older during these recent years. They have more white hair now. Their eyes were not as clear as before. My father's legs were not as strong as before too. Their motion were not as fast as before. There were time when my father could not even stand and need my mother to help. My mother also had a few falls in the factory. This is the facts of life. Its like a negative parabola. At the start of our life, we all so helpless and our parents are the ones who help us. We reach the peak of our life, at the apex of the parabolic curve, and thereafter, we had a decl

- Exaggerated illusion of difficulty- Ego driven- Attacks your self-esteem- MisogynisticThese are all commonalities in the pick-up arts. The justification is that men are really learning how to improve themselves, but the hidden message is that unless they get better with women they aren't improving themselves.Telling men to act like the "prize" while at the same time promoting a culture of behavioral gymnastics designed to get women. Telling men that they need to keep her interested because if they don't then why would she want to be with them. Telling men to be desireless, and not care about the outcome, while giving them "steps" to go through in order to hold the set. Telling men that they need to practice and practice in order to get the very hottest girls because the margin of error is so small. All while holding the frame and giving the appearance of control and having the upper hand. Have you noticed the contradiction? Is there any wonder that so few men succeed using these me
Over the course of five novels and a collection of short stories, Tom Perrotta has laid claim to the prime real estate of upwardly mobile suburbia, hilariously probing its leafy, soccer-obsessed, McMansion-lined streets.No component of life here is safe; crime watches are as ripe for satire as is social one-upmanship.Perrotta has skewered politics, parenting, the educational system, marriage and sex, the sacred cows of family life unspared by his sardonic insight and incisive humor."The Abstinence Teacher" is not a sequel to "Little Children" -- his previous novel, which was made into an Oscar-nominated film by Todd Field -- but it's a logical follow-up to Perrotta's exploration of the culture wars as they play out with surprising ferocity in parks and schools."Little Children" introduced two adulterers who conduct an affair as their hometown panics over the return of a sex offender."The Abstinence Teacher" further stirs the mix by introducing evangelical Christianity and its effects

I certainly don’t have all the answers, but when things happen I’d like to think there is always a meaning - somewhere, somehow. Many are familiar with Isaiah’s words from the Old Testament: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.” (55:8) I take this to mean that even though we don’t always understand the turn of certain events, there is someone else who does.
I’m not sure if there is something that’s called divine irony, but if there is I think we may have gotten a glimpse of it today. When Al Gore lost the presidential office to George W Bush in 2000 he had more votes in his pocket than Mr Bush. Gore’s loss seemed shattering, and we had doubts, at least here in Sweden, about his survival on the political scene. If someone would have told me then that Al Gore would go and win the Nobel Peace Price today, seven years later, I would have shrugged my shoulders in doubt - no doubt.
