Rani has painted us a beautiful picture, and we just hanged it in our living room. It’s actually based on two of our travel photos (from Costa Rica and India) -
You can see some of Rani’s other pictures in her Flickr account. Although I really think some of her best work is not in there.
Anyway now our living room is alive with colour…
Now our next task is working on the roof - some furniture, a plant or new, planting some new cauliflowers. Fun!
A few years ago Michal and I decided that we don’t want to have TV anymore - we disconnected from cable, and ever since we don’t get any TV. We do watch DVD movies and TV series still.
I had just finished reading a fascination book - ‘Four arguments for the elimination of TV’, by Jerry Mander. He claims that TV is so inherently bad, that we can only eliminate it - we cannot hope to reform it. It’s hard to summarize this book - the arguments are interesting and convincing - but it cannot be summarized into a sentence or two - which is exactly what TV tends to do to issues - and one of the things Jerry doesn’t like about it.
Anyway it’s a good read - if only for the health relating argument which is fascination. I never considered ‘light’ to be so interesting!
It turns out that the Simpsons is quite popular in TripTouch (at least Eva, Shay and I really like it). Anyway we have dedicated our March newsletter to the little yellow things. Check out the TT blog post, also with my very own Spider Pig.
