I want to see footage of the aftermath of a mass shoe-throwing, where they all go around trying to find their other shoe. _

two different approaches for how to paint the risers on the stairs. The second one would be two stencils,arranged differently on each stair, so each one was different. _

My entanglement with Entanglement continues.  I am now the proud holder of the all-time high score for the lotus petal varient (competition is much less strenuous on the boards you have to pay for).  I also cracked the daily top 100 on the main game, with a score of 721. _

"Or his warm embrace / Oh no, that's just his arm" may be my favorite song lyric ever.  The whole song is delightful: the frustration with her obtuse, endlessly shooping backing singers in the final verse: "Oh no, that's not the way / and you're not listening to all I say".  I heard a new (to me) version of it on the radio, but I can't work out who it was.  Oh well.

I am really, really looking forward to Samantha Power's next book, once she's out of government.  Her first book, A Problem From Hell, was about the history of genocide, and about what went wrong in Rwanda and Yugoslavia.  It is a tremendously thoughtful book about the problem of genocide, the notion of universal rights, and how and why the world, and the US in particular, failed.  Her second book, about the UNHRC and Sergio Vieilla de Mello, lacks the immediacy (she was in Yugoslavia as a reporter) but is a very good book about what the  is and what it isn't, and the concept of the right to protect.  I am worried, but I'm holding out hope that this UN mission in Libya will change the rules that the world operates under.  The way they're going about Libya is very much in line with what she wanted to happen in Yugoslavia, and rumor has it that she was one of the main advocates for this.  This could be the last chance in a while for the notion that human rights trump national sovereignty.  But so much depends on people remembering what didn't happen this week in Benghazi. _
