Lethargy

The Israelis are ‘dropping” ammunition in Syria (what kind of euphemism is that?), Fatah al-Islam fighters are still being picked up from the streets (alive) around Tripoli, the latest Human Rights Report accuses both Israel and Hezbollah of war crimes, a claim which both vehemently deny, Palestinians are arrested for supposedly planning to assassinate UNIFIL troops, and I haven’t even touched the subject of the upcoming Presidential election.

We are living in history’, the honorable Fisk would say. Indeed we are.

A., L. and A. all ready for a trip to Karout, our favorite warehouse (I kid you not).

And yet, all I can blog about is a couple of Dutch women going on a shopping spree in the southern suburbs. And even that isn't bloggable.

I think it is related to the overall lethargy that seems to rule versus local news. What do I say? Any news! When the army finally conquered the Nahr el-Bared camp in Northern Lebanon, nobody at work even mentioned it. I had to hear it on CNN.

Zo meteen zal ik je een foto van de bijpassende auto sturen (per e-mail). Die staat regelmatig geparkeerd op 5 blokken bij jou vandaan, bij Hamrastreet
