jembatan!

Jembatan!
means BRIDGE
in indonesian.
google suggested it,
after i pushed through a
number of early suitors,
clamoring to answer my djembe query.
i kept with my earnest initial impulse.
jembat, jembata; these were nothing.    ----------- > jembatan
was the auto-assist.
image search yields
what i'm looking for,
by the looks of it...
a bunch of bridges,
mostly foreign by the looks.
i think,
"jembatan probably means
'bridge,'" i'm thinking...
i search google for google translate.
i find that.
i input "jembatan."
google translate autodetects an
indonesian word.
i hit "translate."
it "translates to english."
the result:
"BRIDGE."
I was right.  It feels good to do research.

commercial genesis

Everybody's got a--
everything's all about the--
all's you need is a
--hunting bracket... a
--a mounting.  A mounting brace.
A hunting valve.
A Certain-Lok.
A staydry, sci-fi, for-profit
Product License.
A patent pending.
A proper s-corp and a business partner.
Then you get the--
Sugar.
Then you get the venison jerky.

I'm writing here and there...
Just readying for something to break...
[wonders about his mistake]
...
I'm writing you,
and whadya do?
You make me late
for pottery class.
[finishing school]
...
Everybody know the rule:
you break a thing,
you don't get in.
You make me run,
I might go down.
It'd be a shame
and a waste...
...
You're costing me all of my second chances!

syrian projections

had some shabby pontifications
wordy reiterations of
restrained incantations
and incommunicado manifestations...
the affairs of syria--
the sovereign internal status,
the whole sordid intramural affair...
...
threat.  fact. neglect.  sovereign feeling is the primary concern.  we need not feel scared.  we need not feel any concern.  it is our own sovereign national concern, and our RIGHT--to decide our own decision; to decide for ourSELVES how WE feel.  That is the fundamental concern.  The economy?  It's good.  It's really not bad.  Internally, we've actually seen fairly modest growth.  The blockade?  It's there.  That's that.  We deal with it, it moves, we move, and, actually, the international scene is moving.  We learn lessons.  We have experiences.  But the decision is ours.  We have RELATIONSHIPS.  There are negative aspects.  But we have succeeded in isolating the good from the bad.  I don't know what is inside the mind of another.  The media?  We want them to cooperate positively with the Syrian Society.  We want them to help in the transitional phases of the Reforms we are beginning to start.

--decorative paraphrase, cspan, Syrian Prz Assad sit-down with State Media.

And, on another note, check out this old .mpg, taken on one of those old digital cameras in 2001.  It's a vid from the cheap seats at a Dec 01 WWF (yes, WW EFF) Raw event:
