Kartini Day

Tomorrow is Kartini Day. You should be wondering "What can I do to celebrate this wondrous event?". I would say to you " First, you must find a small animal, slit it's throat and let it bleed to death in the living room.". However, I would be telling you a lie. Kartini Day is a celebration of the woman who promoted the education of women in Indonesia. What's next- letting them drive? Such primitive people.

I learned something interesting the other day from a Muslim cab driver. I asked him what the deal was with the scarves that the women are supposed to wear. He told me it was because men would 'think' differently if they see a women who is uncovered. I was skeptical when he talked of men 'thinking'. However, it really makes sense. Because men think with their peckers they cover their women from head to toe with scarves. It all makes sense, now. And....now that the French government has started with the ban on head scarves we will see a decrease in French productivity. So much for the liberation of Libya. Plus, I know my mind has been rendered useless after watching 30 seconds of Jersey Shore. I guess Muslim reasoning is not too far off.

Today was a great day. I wasn't feeling well at school so I tackled traffic and took the 25 steps to the apartment to have a snooze. As I was laying on the couch I was able to watch a LIVE Blue Jays baseball game. It felt like I was back home in my living room on a Saturday afternoon- except for Marni asking me stupid baseball questions like "Who scored the last touchdown?" and whatnot. Obviously Marni is not in charge of proofreading these blogs. I'm just taking Oprah's advice and keeping a journal of my innermost thoughts, Honey. We all know Oprah is never wrong- except about the cattle industry in Texas.

Right this second, Caden is watching a show on Animal Planet about Kopi Lewak. That is the 'Catshit' coffee that they grow in Indonesia. I think it tastes like ass- but that is just me.

I am off to Taiwan next week for a school trip. I am looking forward to it. Stamps in the passport. That is what Marni and I are after around here.

No word on the school for next year. They are still negotiating with landowners as we speak. Funny to think that our owner pulls out roughly $6 million/year from his 'Non-profit' school in Shanghai. Another $3-million from Capetown. Education is definitely a business over here.

Happy Easter. We are craving Mini-eggs, here. We cannot find them. However, Crunchie bars in Australia were a welcome treat.
