Diverse Ramblings: L-Għaxar Karnival tal-Bloggijiet

Right, that's it, I've had enough. I'm deleting my blog and taking up another hobby.

...

Did you fall for it? April Fool! *grin*

And now, here it is, the 1st April edition of the Karnival tal-Bloggijiet:

What's her name? her eager audience asked.
Just call me Ira Losco, the reply came back.
Her name was Ira. Ira Losco. by Zemploid in Zemploid's Orbit, 25/03/06

Warning: explicit pictures, not safe for work - Ed
Numru kbir ta' artisti jistħu jindirizzaw u jirrappreżentaw l-erotiżmu, għax jibżgħu li jiġu ttimbrati bħala baxxi. Jeżisti wkoll xkiel konkret, bħal ma hija ċ-ċensura fuq it-televixin u fiċ-ċinema, u nervożiżmu fost l-organizzazzjonijiet li jagħtu għotjiet u edituri.
Tradosofia (1): Genial-Genital Minn Ħelsien mis-Sesswalità għal Ħelsien fis-Sesswalità by L-Imżebbel in Ħġejjeġ, 15/03/06

Żmien ilu - anke ħafna wara li kienet telqitni - kont naħseb f'Anny. Issa m'għadni naħseb f'ħadd; lanqas biss nindenja ruħi nsib il-kliem. Kollox jiġri fija ftit jew wisq malajr, jien ma nżomm xejn, jien nħalli kollox ma' ilma. Ħafna drabi, minħabba li ma jitħaxknux mal-kliem, ħsibijieti jibqgħu mċajprin. Iħarbxu forom vagi u sbejħin u jinħatfu fil-baħħ: ninsihom f'għamża t'għajn.
Xejn ġdid by Antoine Roquentin in In-Nawżja, 30/01/

We get to the front door. It's locked. There is no key. A few stunned moments later, Edward and the rest come downstairs. We tell them about the situation. They guffaw hysterically (but quietly so as not to wake the kids up). Toni comes up with the bright idea of me climbing out of his (ground floor) window. We all run to his room. We open the window. The window has bars in front of it. The others all laugh hysterically with tears in their eyes. I start wishing I'd brought at least my PJ's and toothbrush.
These things really DO only happen to me. Right? by Reesa in Reesa's blog, 05/03/06

It's pure class. The first few minutes were spent playing with the magnetic power cord. Yes, yes it's childish, I know - but it's really, really cool. Then it was time to set it up. It takes all of ten minutes. And when you think you're done, the inbuilt camera (really the size of a pin) suddenly captures your tired face framed by unbrushed hair and tries to take your photo. Fortunately, you can opt for a pretty photo of a cat, dog etc instead.
The Sexy Goddess is here by Athena in Rites of passage, 17/03/06

Thankfully, mum was having one of her fits of Mummy Logic (tm) and launched into a long speech about how I was too busy studying to waste time making kwarezimal. I was to sit down and work and do well, you hear? No faffing about in the kitchen - cook only what is necessary. Leave it all to mummy - she'd just send me a box. And who am I to argue?
More fun with the Goddess... and kwarezimal by Athena in Rites of passage, 18/03/06

Il-vantaġġi ta' ħajja mingħajr duħħan jafhom kulħadd, u mhix ix-xewqa tiegħi li noqgħod nippriedka. Kemm ngħid li r-raġuni #783251 il-għala ma jaqbillix nobrom jew inqabbad dak is-sigarett hi li dan l-aħħar sibt ruħi nikkonċentra aħjar, anzi nnutajt li qed ikolli meded tal-konċentrazzjoni itwal minn qabel. Min jaf, forsi bħala kittieb mhux pejjiep (jew non-smoking poet !) jirnexxili nkun inqas għażżien u aktar kreattiv.
Ħajku by Twanny Cassar in Triq il-Maqluba, 12/03/06

U kull tant dak li huwa normali f'pajjizi m'ghaudx jidher tant normali ghalija. Li naccettaw problemi ta' traffiku, ta' zvilupp eccessiv, hofor fit-toroq u politici jitnejku bina ma tibqax haga ovvja imma tidher ostinatezza inutli

I shall be celebrating this first anniversary with a trip to a Portuguese dentist who thinks I am an Arab named Mohammed.
L'Anniversaire - the kinnie generation by Jacques René Zammit in J'Accuse, 10/03/06

L'intello huwa il-verzjoni baxxa tal-wesgha intelletwali. Peress li ma baqax wisq hassieba f'pajjizna, jew ahjar nghidu li dawk li jaghmlu xoghol tajjeb fi kliem semplici ma jismaghhom hadd, dan ifisser li l-ispazju huwa liberu ghal dawk li jhobbu jitkesshu bil-kliem.
Dahla by Jacques René Zammit in Intello Academy, 15/03/06

Scopreina illi d-dentisti t'haun iahdmu fi quarti. Jigifieri ma jaghlusc dach li ghandhom sc'iaghmlu milleuuel imma bl'iscusa tal-infettioni iivvintaulech elph appuntament sabiesc l-interventi buccali iimmoltiplicau u l-goduria sadistica tad-dentist tizdied proportionalment.
Tooth Fairy by Gakbu Sfigho in il bollettino della sfiga, 13/03/06

The ambulance people put me on a board and in a neck brace, I don't remember the ride to the hospital, but then once I got to Emergency doctors were asking me questions and taking tests. And one doctor was so incredibly beautiful that I could hardly speak to him, so he must have thought that I really had something wrong with me!
My first visit to hospital by G in Songs of Innocence and Experience, 13/03/06

So this woman goes "Iiiiiii!!!!! Id-dollar!!!! Rajtu d-dollar fuq il-kitarra! Rajtuha? Rajtuha? Eh? Eh? Eh?"
Or, during some poignant on-screen dialogue between Johnny Cash and his wife...
"Imma mhux hekk kienet l-ewwel mara ta' Johnny Cash, ta! Ma kinitx sabiħa daqs di, żgur! Il-ewwel mara ta' Johnny Cash kienet vera kerha, ta, imma vera kerha. Ta' dik it-tip illi, tħares lejha u litteralment tinġibed lura. Tinġibed, ta!"
Walk the line by MaltaGirl in Diverse Ramblings, 20/03/06

I hope to find the time to really get going on some serious wiki-work this summer. I know that a couple of people who read my blog are already active in the ever-growing community that created and maintains the Maltese version of Wikipedia. I'd like to know if you (that includes the Maltese wikipedia people and anybody else) are interested in getting involved in another wiki other than wikipedia and what other thoughts you may have on open projects like this.
Another Place to Fall by Toni Sant in Toni Sant's Blog, 17/03/06

Comments

There's absolutely nothing explicit or unsafe in those images.

Your editorial comment runs counter to the very spirit of Laval's philosophy of sexual freedom, which appeals, first and foremost, for a liberation from all sexual taboos and for a thoroughly novel approach towards sexuality and voyeurism.

On the other hand, your comment proves his point: we cannot help describing such photographs own bodies as outrageous.

It is precisely this mentality that sexual libertarians like me strive to eradicate from popular consciousness.

And I think it's only fair to warn people who might be reading at work, in case their boss is not of Laval's thinking.

*grins* I'm trying to picture any sys admin's face when someone objects to the blocking of certain sites because it runs counter to Laval's thinking:)
