how silly I feel...

After reading the following article in Time magazine, I feel a bit silly for even trying to "blog" ( i wonder how the french ministry of language will french-ify that word???)

BLOG WATCH
There's at least one place in Iran where citizens dare speak their minds. It is referred to has Weblogistan, and in this rapidly expanding virtual terrain, there are an estimated 100,000 active Iranian blogs, so that Persian now ties with French as the second most used language in the blogosphere. Iranians generally used psyeudonyms online to discuss taboo topics and criticize the government...but crackdowns are always looming.

More than 20 million online activists were detained last year for several weeks and beaten for antigovernment criticism. In response, dozens of blogs have sprung up offering instructions on how to remain anonymous and circumvent gov't filters. (Time Magazine- May 9, 2005).

Not much new here in BsAs. Peter's (fah-rich) godfather is in town so we've been having a high 'ole time. This weekend promises to be everything that TWO MONTHS LEFT IN ARGENTINA can offer... below are some pics of Charlie's Angels, at the costume party (Joey Neugart won best costume btw) and another pic of a random night at Roxy, and when I say random I mean RANDOM.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HEATHER DAVIS ON SATURDAY!!! Te amo SIZZZLA!
