I'm going to a lecture at the secretary of state's office at 7.  Wish me luck.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I got to hang out with former KGB General Oleg Kalugin today at work.  Still hates Putin.

He described the younger generation of resurgent Russian nationalists emerging the last few years as the "Putler Jugend".  I was the only one that LOL'd out loud.

SKOPJE, Macedonia — Macedonia on Tuesday began assembling a controversial 22-meter-high (72-foot-high) bronze statue of Alexander the Great, a monument seen as a towering challenge to neighboring Greece's claim on the ancient hero.

Giant pieces of the monument were brought Tuesday to a cordoned-off area in the heart of Macedonia's capital, Skopje, where construction of a pedestal is still under way. Over the next few days, cranes will be used to put together the parts of the statue, which some critics have accused of being a hubristic waste of money and the government says is an important part of city redevelopment.

Although the statue is officially named "Warrior on a Horse," the face closely resembles ancient depictions of Alexander, the warrior king born in Pella, northern Greece, who carved out an empire that reached the Himalayas before his death at age 32 in 323 B.C.

Greece and Macedonia remain locked in a 20-year dispute over the right to claim the region's ancient heritage, with conservative Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski on a drive to pin ancient labels on the country's airports, highways and football stadiums — and now in Skopje's main square.

The two Balkan neighbors have failed to resolve a name dispute that has blocked the tiny republic's accession to NATO and progress toward becoming a member of the European Union.

Athens accuses its neighbor of falsely laying claim to its ancient heritage, and demands that the former Yugoslav republic modify its name so that it doesn't imply a territorial claim to its own, larger, northern region of Macedonia.

Macedonia, which gained independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, argues that its has been treated unfairly by its more powerful neighbor and says a 1995 agreement to change its constitution and flag should have ended any argument over potential claims on territory.

Many of Gruevski's critics in Macedonia voiced strong opposition to the statue project when the plans were first announced two years ago, arguing that it promoted nationalism, and that the venture was too costly in a country with staggering 32 percent unemployment. Several prominent architects also worried it would blight the city's skyline.

The statue will cost an estimated €5.3 million ($7.7 million). The monument, designed by sculptor Valentina Stevkovska, is 12 meters (39 feet) tall and will be placed on a 10-meter (33-foot) fountain pedestal. The statue's parts were built in Florence, Italy.

I pointed a finger at my boss and when he told me not to, I asked him what he was going to do.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Instead of rushing to claim the past, both should focus on the present/future.

:huh:
I used the loo, I felt I might need to use it again after my bath  and there's no sense wasting water when its not harming anyone (and the noise of the toilet refilling is mildly annoying), so I held off on flushing until then.
Kind of force of habit too as I normally get a shower and you can't do that just after flushing.

The  noise of the toilet refilling is more annoying than the smell of your own shit?  Does your nose work?

This part makes a little bit of sense, but generally speaking my advice is that you cut your losses and pretend your evil twin hijacked your account for the last couple posts.
