Mozarts

one of the photos, by Dominic


So, Mo still has cancer. As another fundraiser we’ll be selling photo prints at Barefoot Gallery this weekend. They’re quite affordable (starting at Rs 3,000 per) if you’d like some stuff for your house. My own apartment is all bare walls, so I think I’ll get a few for myself. The photographers who donated photos include Dominic Sansoni, Jagath Dheerasekera, Sebastian Posingis, Yanik Tissera, Alefiya Akbarally and more. Basically the best photographers in Sri Lanka right now. Yadda yadda, it’s some pretty good photos for a good cause – hence satisfying your material and karmic desires in one place. Some samples:

Mihintale by Yanik

Chillies and Garlic by Pradeep

Monk by Beat Presser

Ahem, so it’s running all weekend at Barefoot Gallery, Colombo

Really nice. Of course I only know Dominic but I have seen Others photos. I really like the young Yanik. Good luck to the effort and best wishes to your friend Mo.

Miss Travel. Alternately, Mistravel

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like seekingarrangement.com connects women to ‘sugar daddies’ already. I guess Miss Travel is just taking that trend international. Wait, I checked, it’s the same guy doing both.

Buying Appliances Online (Singer)

Sri Lankan domestics never say anything, they just stop coming. My maid just stopped coming and when I finally pressed her she said I needed to get a washing machine. I was hoping to ride this one out, but I’ve run out of underwear and I have no choice. I finally caved and bought a washing machine, from Singer, ONLINE. I put the online in all caps because it’s pretty awesome. I ordered the thing in like 15 minutes on Saturday and they just delivered it today. It’s pretty awesome, this brave new world.

Future Porn

There’s nothing wrong with pornography, but there’s a lot wrong with porn. Nothing wrong with watching people have sex, but too often that sex is brutal, senseless and coerced. I mean how many couples are coming on each others faces every day? Hence, philosopher king Alain de Botton – after calling for a new atheism, replete with temple – is now calling for a new pornography. One which is “fit for thoughtful, good human beings”. Good idea.

Sri Lanka To Offer Dual Citizenship Again

Sri Lanka is going to start offer dual citizenship again, for people of Sri Lanka descent (ie, those who migrated or their kids). Which is good. Still not an actual immigration policy, but getting, well getting back to the status quo. I got dual citizenship years ago.
