Thoughts from the Loo

what's this?

Random thoughts (often deteriorating into rants) that came to my mind while in the loo. Half-baked reactions to something read, heard or experienced. Some in English, some in Croatian. More here.
An interesting word on blogging in general here.

What do those silly letters between brackets mean, anyway?

Hardly anything there, just ancient bookmarks and list of my sizable CD collection

Photos (with an occasional caption) from my stay in Paris. Hundreds are yet to be posted. I plan to make similar pages for Zagreb, but I have to get there first :-)

Anna's land
Anna is an Italian lady who has a way with words, and with whose opinions I tend to agree. Her blog contains links to several other interesting people.

A 'Liberal' Media Log
A slightly different prespective on (mostly American) media; take a look through the whole site.

If you think there is world beyond CNN, there indeed is; take a look at these 'alternative' news & views sites. Audiatur et altera pars...

[E] Real Stuff

I saw another day on one satelite Travel channel or another an ad for something called "RealTV". It goes like this:
In a dirty alley two policamen, hunkered behind a squad car, are exchanging fire with a young 'bag guy'. The guy runs out of ammunition, reloads, wounds one of cops, and then the third policeman appears with a machine gun and cuts the 'bad guy' down. The twist is that the machine gun is a broom or something, sidearms are fingers, and people go "pow, pow, ratatata, ka-pow" at each other. After the "battle" is finished, a voice-over says: "It is better when it's real, isn't it?" over the cut to quick succession of scenes of cars crashing, shootouts filmed from a chopper, bungee jumps with the cord too long... You get the idea.

My late friend Darko used to call this kind of programs the most morbid pornography. Sickening.
