it's beyond my control
the start of a new 2007 obsession. half chinese. so clearly there is a leitmotif. and the icing on the cake: she was in a spate of quebecois films, including amazing BLACK ROBE with the divine and beyond hot lothaire bluteau aka jesus of montreal.
am spluttering and ill in calcutta. courtesy of excessive air con. so i need something to clutch to beside a masala tea. and well, watching goats' throats getting slashed to the goddess of distruction, kali, while strangely soothing, has left me..well with a thirst for more.

where are you staying tots? nowhere I used to know in Calcutta had air con. Get yourself down to Collins Lane and the Modern Lodge, £2 a night and a laugh a minute, if you don't catch TB from Abdul the doorman... glad you liked the goats..
Funny, of the Top 10 Myths About Canada and Canadians, none disproved the ONLY ONE they should have addressed: is Canada REALLY independent from the US? Judging by the answers they gave to the other myths, clearly not...
tot v. seeing a v different kind of calcutta. i'm afraid. apart from dash to kali. stuck in five-star hotel lobbies. they've cleaned up the itinerary prodi was taking. i imagine by kicking the leppers round the corner and they've cleared the roads of cars and poured disinfectant along the sewers. however india did prevail. their plan to make a good impression went tits up when a farmer of sorts and his 300 goats broke through the barrier. the billy goats raided the book stalls around the university of calcutta. and took a dump by romano's feet. leaving most stumped. and me favourably impressed.

as a FOC, friend of canada, i won't stand for any off-the-cuff glib remarks on the 51st state of the U.S.

Not sure kali ghat was the best place to add to the itinerary. Kind of liked dakineshwar kali temple though, where you'd buy flowers, lob them at the priest in the temple, he'd then chuck them, and some enterprising bods round the back would collect them up, dust them off and start trying to sell them again.
please buy a camera and let me visualise.
Since in a short time I will be Canadian by marriage, I must also stand up for my gentle neighbors to the North. Actually they aren't all that gentle, since they have home-grown terrorists now.
They also have a film festival that is better than the Tribeca, if you ask me. Their booze is more expensive and that is unfortunate.
