Down time

If anybody noticed (other than Nich), yes Confusion was down for almost a week. Still not sure what happened but there does not seem to be any loss of information—except maybe some emails that bounced too much while the server was down. Things might be a bit flaky for a while as I try to clean things up and figure out what has happened. The server was having problems for a while before that.

…my poor fool is hang’d!

We went to see the RSC‘s [rsc.org.uk] production of King Lear [gutenberg.org]. Starring Ian Mckellen [wikipedia.org] (You know Gandalf and Magneto?)

The show was amazing, top acting all around. I guess you would not expect any different from the RSC but the quality of the acting still deserves to be noted. My favorite line in the play: “…and my poor fool is hang’d! No, no, no life!” Just because of the way Mckellen delivers it.

Surreal Fourth

I started the Fourth of July at British Immigrations. How wrong it that?

4077th

I was having a conversation with a friend the other day who is currently watching the entire M*A*S*H series—all 11 seasons. As we talked about the show and it’s political commentary, that is had a lot to say about Vietnam and America in the late 60’s and early 70’s through the thin disguise of the Korean War, we thought it would be a good idea to remake M*A*S*H but use Baghdad as the backdrop. I don’t think any American network has the balls to do this today, maybe HBO or Showtime, but not ABC, NBC or CBS. Too bad, a bit of humor and a lot of self reflection is good from time to time.
