A plea for aid for Haiti
I wish that it was possible for everyone in the developed world to experience something of life in the developing world. I know it's NOT possible; we don't all have that kind of money, and that even in the "developed" world there is still crushing poverty. I know it's not possible, because in some cases, monetary donations may be one of the most ( Read more... ) -
This, this, this.
I ask that you please view this documentary trailer, if you can (trigger warning: trailer has some discussion/footage of politically motivated violence. The film itself has some VERY graphic footage. With that noted, however, that is not the main focus of the movie. It is about education).
If it is possible for you to view this doc, please, please, ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes I don't hate movies
"Nowhere in Africa"
If you can recognize one of the German actresses, Juliane Köhler, as also being in "Aimee & Jaguar", you are pretty cool (and doesn't afraid of anything). -

HIATUS

Dragon Age is fantastic. Too bad I won't read the comic.
If you've not played it, Dragon Age: Origins is a pretty fantastic game. It's got a brilliant story AND excellent gameplay. I will do a write-up on the game, but I'm waiting until I beat the game at least once before I do so. There are enough quests, characters, and branching story options that a single playthrough won't let me explore the game ( Read more... ) -
Video sneak-peek
I can't post this to my travel journal yet, since I have one more big "Thank You" post to do first (there's an imaginary order to the posts in my mind), so but for you lovely people, here's a sneak-peek at one of the videos I took in Kenya.

Watch the video with sound on, if/ ( Read more... )
