Heat

Hot... it was hot and humid, then the rainstorm came and things have been fine since then. Only about 20 degrees. Still warm though, but not searing hot.

We have I think a BBQ on Sunday, but I am not sure. The North-Vietnamise neighbours mentioned something about it, but their english has deterriorated since they came here. It was ok when they where only two, but then the third one moved in, and now I hardly understand them.

Did ok in my research for my MA dissertation yesterday and today. Will start reading when I get home, and then when Freyja gets home, the laundry must be done.

Then at 21.00 Brazil v Croatia in the World Cup.

I bought 3 magazines all with the same cover. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in Iraq, and Newsweek, Time and The Economist all have him on the cover. I will analyze this and see if it is critical or a part of the propaganda war between the US and Al-Qaeda. Perhaps even both, I read a part of the Newsweek article on this while I had lunch at The Opposite at noon, and they talk about him as being in part at least a product of the US Government, as the face of the enemy.

So again the US Government is killing their own Frankenstein monster, or Eliza Doolittle from Pygmalion (My Fair Lady), after her transformation from the poor cocney flower selling girl into BBC talking aristocrat, and then she would have been shot by Professor Higgins in the end. That would have caused quite a stir in the literary world at that time. But in reality this is how things are. Images created and then shot down with appropriate suicide bombings and murders that follow. It is a beutiful world out there, and everyone is happy and singing with flowers in their hair and so on and so forth... nice world out there isnt it?

I was born in Iceland and lived there for most of my life until I moved to the UK to study. I am enjoying life and educating myself at the same time.
