Ingredients:
- 2 oz Stoli vodka
- 1/4 oz pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp lemon juice

Place a large soup pot filled with water on the stove to boil. Carve the tops from the pumpkins and set aside. Scope out the interior and seeds, leaving a think shell.

Strain into the pumpkin. Serve with a black straw.

Peace with the Unspeakables


The first reaction to these wouldn't be so appreciating. Of course I don't want to imply that she's a very philosophically heavy person but, let's see this from other angle: Why the "unspeakable parts" should be that way? When human being will start treating all of their body parts without shame and guilt induced by Judo-Christo-Muslim beliefs?
I don't mean to give much credit to her and claim that she knows what she's doing but, these acts, knowingly or unknowingly, bring the unspeakable in the radar ranges of human spectacles as "body parts".
We, the people, will start to see her "stuff" as we see her hands, for example.
It takes a shameless person to tear the shrouds of tradition and unknowingly reveal more of the horizon.

Bungee Sex Swing
I heard about it on episode 16 of swingercast podcast. Looks interesting. If you get one, I'd like to know about it.
Dinkas of Sudan
I saw a program on the discovery channel about the Dinka of the Southern Sudan. It resulted in a frenzy of web searches. I found the above page with a lot of semi-professional videos which are pretty interesting.
Incestual Tendencies in Hafez's Poetry
As a disclaimer, I'm not necessarily in agreement with all the points people make when their works are quoted here. I just find them interesting and post 'em here. For example about this one, I have to go through it one more time to make up my mind.
