how very random

"A nude model resembling the Virgin Mary on the cover of the Mexican edition of Playboy magazine, published only days before a major Mexican festival dedicated to the mother of Jesus, prompted the company's U.S. headquarters on Friday to apologize. The magazine, which hit newsstands on December 1 as ceremonies began leading to Friday's pilgrimage to the Mexico City shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe, showed a model wearing nothing but a white cloth over her head and breasts. She is standing in front of a stained glass window with the cover line, "We Love You, Maria" in Spanish. The model's name is Maria Florencia Onori."

i was thinking if this same thing happened to muslims, playboy's headquarters should be expecting to be bombed anytime now. luckily now they only need to issue an apology and everything should be fine.

so anyway a while ago i went out for a walk in the lovely cold post-rain weather and bought a slurpee to freeze my insides. while walking i saw a young man in office-wear with a pet mynah perched on his shoulder.

oh, and the snake we caught looks something like this.


it's a paradise tree snake, according to my friend the snake-catcher. paradise tree snakes are also known as the paradise flying snake because it has wings and can fly.
