Ek is tans met 'n projek vir ons gemeente om sommige van die meer
hedendaagse gospel liedjies in oudio-visuele formaat met 'n data projektor
op 'n skerm weer te gee om dit meer stimulerend te maak vir die tieners. Ek
het egter video files nodig wat so tussen 30sek en 2 minute lank is om as
agtergrond te dien ens. Goed soos groepe mense wat doen wat mense doen,
natuurtonele, babetjies wat kruip of loop, tieners wat skateboard ry,
(skaatsplank OK?) ens so aan. Kan iemand my help of in 'n rigting kan stuur
waar ek hulp sal kry.
Die enigste ding wat vandag op die nuus gedreig het om die Kerry oorwinning
in die skadu te stel, was dat ene Mark Butcher beseer is en nie in die
krieket toets teen die Wes Indies sal kan speel nie. Laasgenoemde tragiese
nuus beteken nie veel vir my nie want ek het nie eers van die bestaan van
Mnr Butcher geweet voor vandag nie:-)) Maar in elk geval, geluk Katryn, en
onwards and upwards!
Van slagters gepraat, ek het eendag deur 'n ou Bulgaarse "phrase book" in
'n stapel by 'n boekstalletjie geblaai, en sien toe die volgende "nuttige"
frase: "I believe you and the butcher are in cahoots.." Ek het al baie
gewonder oor situasies waarin mens daardie woorde sou kon gebruik :-))
Volpunte vir bolander dat hy nie gekruispos het nie.
Dit het 'n rukkie geneem met 'n dialup sisteem om
die vier foto's te laai, maar hy het dit afsonderlik
gedoen. Dankie vriend.
'n brief in die Independent gister wa deel was van 'n debat oor die
"Gy marriages" ding:
"Sir. Don't worry. America's lawyers will unite to block President
Bush's consitutional amendment. They are not going to be cheated out
of gay divorces.."
Katryn, ek lees die volgende in die Guardian: "Some Democrats think
Ralph Nader will split the progressive vote again, but they have
little to fear" "Don't blame Ralph Nader for President George Bush.
Blame Al Gore, or Hillary Clinton, or better still George Bush.
Clarence Thomas, the US supreme court judge, had more responsibility
for elevating Bush than Nader did. So don't try to lock up poor old
Ralph. Let him run around in the yard a bit. He won't go far.
Maybe he cost the Democrats the state of Florida in the 2000 election,
as many believe, but maybe not. He took 97,000 votes there, with Gore
losing to Bush by only 537. That doesn't mean that the 97,000 would
have voted for Gore. They might have stayed home"
Een van Katryn se mede-burgers stuur die ene aan my: (verskoon die ingels...
maar hulle praat klaarblyklik nie Afrikaans in die VSA nie...)
*****************
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down.
Finally, the guy's side of the story. (I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear "the rules" from the female side. Now here are the rules
from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note...these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it
down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining
about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it
that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do
not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say
it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's
what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In
fact, all comments become null and void after 7 days.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways
makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.
1. You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it
done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it
yourself.
1. Whenever possible, please say whatever you have to say during
commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did not need directions and neither do we.
1. All men see in only 16 colors, like a Windows default setting. Peach,
for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have
no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," we will act like
nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the
hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, expect an answer
you don't want to hear.
1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is
fine...Really.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to
discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, or monster
trucks.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round is a shape.
1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch
tonight; but did you know men don't really mind that? It's like camping.
Dis nou na 12 hier by my, so ek kan jou 'n gelukkige verjaarsdag toewens
Roely. Ek hoop die jaar bring vir jou soveel boeke, musiek en voorspoed as
wat jy wil hê. Ek hoop ook dat jou kinders jou rekenaar sal uitlos sodat jy
na Mozart kan luister net waneer jy wil...:-))
