The noise they create is sin
Serenity now

Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets
E. brought this back from Boston for me as a souvenir and not surprisingly, I am enjoying it immensely. David Simon, who at the time was a reporter for the Baltimore Sun - he later on became the screenwriter for Homicide and The Wire -, spent a year following Baltimore detectives, riding with them, observing and writing. The result is a smart, informative and often hilarious account of life on the Job on the streets of Baltimore.

Robots and Ramen - what more could a girl ask for?
God I love Japan.
Who but the Japanese could unite two of my very favorite things in such a wonderfully weird way?
The ramen-making robot was built by 60-year-old shop owner Yoshihira Uchida...

Leading Clerics Defy Ayatollah on Disputed Iran Election
Ironically, this may be proof that nothing will change in Iran.
The clerics are siding with the people, securing their position of influence and power in Iranian society. Let's not forget that Mousavi is no spring chicken - his political transformation is fairly recent and his plans certainly do not include a secular government.
It's safe to say that some change is better than nothing at all - abolition of the ''moral police'', a willingness to open dialogue with foreign countries, less discrimination against women in Iran, elimination of state-run TV networks, etc. Still, I am tempted to believe that plus ça change...
