my favourite show on pbs is Frontline. you can watch several of their past shows online... tonight is their premiere of ON OUR WATCH about what happened to Darfur & what lies ahead if we keep standing still. not to get all hippie on you but while we're about to stuff ourselves to celebrate how thankful we are, we can't ignore what hell others, such as the people of Darfur, have to endure "on our watch."
on a brighter note, i wish you all a great thanksgiving break, safe travels & tons of fun with the ones you love... and some rest before the holidaze party train takes off... i'm thankful to be back in LA, for living in southern california where close friends care for me just as much as i care for them & love, where i have many more acquaintances i enjoy having in my life, and where i can go shopping peacefully for a party, on a wednesday morning in the middle of a sunny november, at a farmer's market, just a block away from the pacific ocean, in what seems to be a million miles away from darfur, iraq, afghanistan, bangladesh, eastern congo, burma, pakistan, gaza, zimbabwe... and even south central LA or downtown skid row... so close, yet so blessed and grateful to be sheltered from it all...
if you're clueless about the
aforementioned parts of the world, or other ones, i'll recommend 3
sources less likely to be biased:
DER SPIEGEL INTERNATIONAL THE INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE
these publications/sites will spare you from the gruesome details of the death of the plastic surgery ravaged mother of Kanye West, trust!
