Sweep the kitchen
Sometimes Friday is Miscellaneous Links Day.
Songmeanings.net, where you can finally discover what the hell the lyrics of your favorite pop song meant. (Or, more likely, didn't.)
Some disturbing subway art from Seoul, Korea. Did you know that Koreans don't much like Japanese? Okay, did you realize just how much?
And speaking of Japan: I like sushi. And I like chocolate and cookies. But I'm not sure I can support this. (Claudia and I sometimes call this the Caligula Principle: don't combine urges.)
No list of links is complete without the latest from Rathergood. Warning: they like the moon.
What would your Pope name be? Find out at the Pope Name Generator.
Finally, I've been posting over at A Fistful of Euros. Here are my last two posts, on Albania and on Balkan elections generally.
Enjoy your weekend.

Oh, Carlos.
My husband calls me "easily amused" but I swear the Caligula link was the first one that made me laugh uncontrollably today (now Doug complains that I don't find him amusing...).

Posted by: Carlos at July 22, 2005 07:11 PMThanks for the link to the Korean posters about the Tok-do dispute. It was a real blast from the past for me (I lived in Korea in 1997-98). There was a brief flap about the contested islands while I was there, but some of the images in the link are definitely harsher than anything I saw back then. Hopefully this too will blow over soon enough.
