Seriously, just read it. It does not proscribe a war crimes investigation or sanctions, it just gives the government a homework assignment (reconcile better) and says Pillai will report on you later. Which is douchey, but not what it’s made out to be.

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

I was at this dhane, eating. A young woman started talking and went on to tell us a rather intense tale. She was married off to a wealthy man 15 years her senior, had two kids while he corralled her and fucked around, only painfully obtaining a divorce. She was Muslim if it matters. It happens all around.

This is one photo from the GLF. I can’t copy paste on this tablet and this has taken an hour.

This is an excellent video with a fascinating scientist (Neil DeGrasse Tyson), moderated by a very funny moderator (Stephen Colbert, out of character). It’s a bit long, I’ve queued it up to where it starts here. This is a great video cause it shows how exciting science is, how emotionally and spiritually fulfilling it can be, and also how fun.

The UNP has lost everything except Colombo. I volunteered for the UPFA candidate Milinda Moragoda, and this sucks. I think he had a better plan. We tried and failed.

So we finally tried the Domino’s Dehiwela, what a treat. Oh my God it was horrible. The service is bad, the pizzas aren’t cut and the toppings slide right off. I could still taste the garlic shrimp hours later, and that’s not a good thing. Overall, I only recommend visiting the Dehiwela Domino’s to see first hand how horrible it is.

As I get older, I get less presents but more wishes. This is kinda OK. I suppose this process culminates in a large funeral. People knock Facebook for taking the personal touch out of birthdays. It just tells you when peoples birthdays are. To the contrary, I appreciate FB wishes. I just wish FB could run facial recognition on my life so I could stop forgetting peoples names. What is modern birthday etiquette?

90% of resistance is showing up. Some diasporals are angry with the Sri Lankan government. They’re applying pressure through the UN, the US Congress and Britain’s Channel 4. It makes a big noise, but not a big difference. Why? Because they’re calling for radical change without making a radical sacrifice. If they want a separate homeland or a new government, it’s really quite simple. They just need to show up.

Super 8 is a lovely lovely film. It prioritizes child like wonder and the tense moments in the wake of great creatures more than the creatures themselves. I saw it in a theatre with about eight people. Next door, Transformers 3 was packed. Transformers is CGI porn. All action, no emotion. Super 8 is JJ Abrams (the director) making love to the opus of Steven Spielberg (producer). Uh, I think this metaphor has gone a bit off the rails.
