Deux - In Summer
Aaah lovely summer song. It’s been really warm in London the past few days, and I’m enjoying it a lot :D
So eerm… it’s been about a year and couple months on here and I have reached 1000 posts. I don’t know whether that’s a good thing or bad thing yet hehe. I’ll brood over that later.
Anyhow… my two weeks break is over. aah… dissertation works starts from tomorrow onwards. Let’s hope I stay (relatively) calm like i did for my final module essays. Jame’s Joyce’s Ulysses …. YOU WILL BE MINE!!! >.<
COUNTDOWN TO AUGUST AND COMPLETION OF MASTERS BEGINS NOW.

Straight White Male: The Lowest Difficulty Setting There Is – Whatever
Dudes. Imagine life here in the US — or indeed, pretty much anywhere in the Western world — is a massive role playing game, like World of Warcraft except appallingly mundane, where most quests involve the acquisition of money, cell phones and donuts, although not always at the same time. Let’s call it The Real World. You have installed The Real World on your computer and are about to start playing, but first you go to the settings tab to bind your keys, fiddle with your defaults, and choose the difficulty setting for the game. Got it?
Okay: In the role playing game known as The Real World, “Straight White Male” is the lowest difficulty setting there is.
This means that the default behaviors for almost all the non-player characters in the game are easier on you than they would be otherwise. The default barriers for completions of quests are lower. Your leveling-up thresholds come more quickly. You automatically gain entry to some parts of the map that others have to work for. The game is easier to play, automatically, and when you need help, by default it’s easier to get.
FASCISTS, MAN. PASSING ALL THEIR LITTLE LAWS. LAYING DOWN THEIR LITTLE RULES. RESTRICTING MY FREEDOMS.
“YOU CAN’T SMOKE POT IN FRONT OF A DAY CARE CENTER.”
“YOU CAN’T ROLL A JOINT AT 7-11.”
“YOU NEED TO GET A JOB IF YOU’RE GOING TO LIVE IN MY HOUSE. AND STOP SMOKING WEED IN THE SHED. YOU’RE 28.”
“DON’T LIGHT THAT RIGHT NEXT TO THE PROPANE TANKS. YOU’LL KILL US ALL.”
I BET YOU DIDN’T TAKE THE POOL INTO ACCOUNT WHEN YOU WERE PLANNING YOUR LITTLE OPPRESSIONS.
IT’S CALLED MARITIME LAW, MY FRIENDS. YOU CAN’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO HERE.

Siberian salamanders have compounds in their blood that enable them to survive temperatures of -45°C(-49F). They can stay frozen solid for years before thawing and reviving as good as new. (Wild Russia - NDR)

I should watch this series… I was so busy with deadlines when it was on.

Ringling Bros. “training” methods:
- Beat unruly or depressed elephants that fail to cooperate with bullhooks
- Punish elephants and babies that do not want to work by isolating them from the other animals and starving them
- Play loud rock music to drown out the sounds of babies screaming
- Depriving the elephants of play
- Try and convince the public that “conga lines” and “headstands” are natural elephant behaviours and that there is nothing cruel about it
- Use electric hotshots on babies or aggressive elephants if bullhooks aren’t enough to get them to submit
Cases:
Riccardo - 8 month old baby broke two legs after being forced to sit on a plastic tub that was too high for him, like the photo above. He was made to walk 100 yards to the barn before he collapsed in shock and agony. He never got up again.
Birthing - Mothers in labour are chained for 15 hours straight. When the calf is born, it drops onto solid concrete floor. If the calf is male it is usually euthanized or sold on.
Hiding the cruelty - in order to pass inspection, keepers smear mud onto the legs of elephants, covering up any lesions or burns. Hot shots are kept well hidden.
Revenge - Elephants that retaliate or try and hurt their keepers back are severely punished. They are electrocuted for about ten minutes. One elephant was in so much pain it regurgitated water. They are beaten for several minutes with bullhooks and electrocuted. Sometimes the keepers get so worn out from the beating that they take a break and then come back later to “finish the job”.
Replacements - If babies die whilst travelling on the road, they simply “send for another”, as if they are mere props.
Power tricks - some tricks put so much strain on the animal’s body that they suffer severe arthritis and ruptures to their uterus.
Beatings - “I’ve seen elephants being beaten who have no idea why they are being beaten or what is expected of them. They start randomly lifting one leg, and then another, and another, and lifting their trunk, hoping some trick will satisfy the trainer and make the beating stop.”
This is so disgusting. It makes me wanna take them all out guerrilla style. Fucking cunts.
Please boycott the circus.
oh goodness
