  • stop the dolphin slaughtering in japan

    omg...i was watching the news last night and saw the most horrendous
    footage i have ever seen....the japanese slaughtering over 17,000 taiji
    dolphins a year for human and dog consumption...they round up all these
    dolphins in huge nets and then pull them out of the water and slit
    their throats, or spear them to death......i don't think i've ever seen anything so horrific
    in my life.....

    what the hell do they need to eat dolphins
    for??? and why do they need to use dolphin meat in dog food????
    apparantly they do this every year......do a search in google and you
    can see all about it....then...after they kill the dolphins, they pump
    all that blood back into the sea!
    there is a petition that you can sign here
    although i don't think online petitions actually do much good...it's
    still worth signing....and i would send letters of complaint to your
    nearest japanese embassy!

    here is some more information about the dolphin slaughtering

    it's been a long time since i've seen a news clip that actually made me cry. i'm just sickened

  • Howdy peeps...yes, i know it's been a while yet again! but i really have been uber busy! the new sociology class has managed to steal every last bit of my time! there is such an insane amount of reading...although i'm just taking one class...so I can't even imagine how morgane keeps up with all of her reading! At any rate, the reading is interesting, and i'm enjoying the course..even if it is taking up all of my time.  I've just completed my first essay and now i've got to start my reading to do the next essay...which is twice the length of the first one! I hope that the length doesn't double each assignment! we've got 8 essays to do for the course and 8 books to read and 8 workbooks to read and several audiotapes and video tapes to watch as well!

    i don't know how it's been where the rest of you are, but the flu has been raging over here....i had a good bout of it a couple of weeks ago which left me unable to get out of bed for about 4 days!! that was one hell of a flu! then it left me with a sinus infection and an ear infection to boot...and a ruptured ear drum!  It seems that every single person at work has had this flu...some several times over...and certainly all of us in our house had it too!

    I'm afraid i've had no time for art or photography since the course started...although i did manage to get some snaps when i went to a chinese new year celebration...but i've not even looked at them yet, nevermind do any work with them...hopefully i'll get to them soon...if not, perhaps i'll have them ready by the next chinese new year!
    here's the last piece that i managed to make....it was a month or two ago...but i haven't posted it here yet..so here ya go :)
