how TOM turned jerry's shirt blue

tom and jerry are two advanced nano-scientist stickbots on tech-lunch break.

tom want's to try out his new technique of colour-changing-telekesis-cloning
so he touches jerry, sending a super direct-connect-wi-max signal. jerry's eyes turn yellow as his nano-core processes the incoming connection.
after a quick calculation, jerry's eyes turn red...
tom is satisfied; the first test worked almost flawlessly.
however he wants the whole schAbang, so still touching jerry he sends a higher signal.
jerry's shirt turns yellow while processing this new level of wi-max, tom's eyes flicker... the amount of power he is using is subtracting from his personal storage capacity, but determined to see this experiment through, he quadruples his dc to the maximum level avalaible.
SUCCESS, jerry's shirt turns blue, the procedure works and tom ends his connection.
now if only he could find a way to change the proccessing colour to blue.........cue the song 'blue' - eiffel 65

Nifca Literary Arts Gala 2009

Yes, I attended, my first National Independence Festival of Creative Arts [Literary Gala]
A few of the highlights...

Prose fiction seemed to be the theme of the night..the mc 'Dempstu DJ Simmons' was uber-cool, even performed his piece at the very end of the night [adrian-greene style]. What I found exciting was the 'wait i forget what i was saying', a pause, then jumping right back in, very intelligently done..well rehearsed

Indrani played a lovely guitar number called 'To The Other Side'. I had no idea her voice has graced over a 1000 songs, she's got that india.arie type flow going on, [confirmed-On her fb page, she likes India.Arie!]



this lady's voice is sooooo cool, very fragile/delicate, I absolutely loved her storytelling, she did an excerpt from the audiobook 'cricket ball in the sky' which was on sale for 40 bucks after the show.



Peter Owen the 'boomtuk in my blood' guy, he got the most laughter out of everyone, highly comical!
BOOM TUCK TUCK OOH OOH OOH OOOOOOO!



Shanniqua Harrison [if I recall correctly] won a gold award for her poem 'butterfly in paris', which the chief judge [UWI professor of theatre and drama] liked so much, he wanted to perform it with her.



The LONGEST piece [the supremes are coming] was a story about The Supremes coming to Barbados, whch captured the standpoint of 2 die-hard Diana Ross bajan fans and the angry mob behind them, set around the year 1967.

The late Alfred Pragnell was honored, with his very amusing piece 'sumbady funeral' playing on the projector, midway through the gala.

It was interesting to hear how many northern schools, 'Roland Edwards', 'St.Silas' were winning awards..
The chief judge stated that entries from the adults had more errors than the juniors. HOW APALLING! Also one of the first things he said was 'you can't be a writer unless you're a reader' and proceeded to show a slide of Obama [who has published 2 books] clutching a book of short stories from a renowned bajan author just a few days after winning the US presidency.

others I can remember...
Doranda Smith - Fog Truck Coming - loved this
'Kite Flying' [total metaphorical/personification piece]
'Sweetest Pudding and Souse' [BTW I despise the eating of pigs in any forrm whatsoever]
HOW TO GET TO BATH - Donna Tull-Cox [her piece epitomizes the very way an ole time bajan would give directions 'go straight straight down dey'!
there was old macdonald HEAVE ho heave HO - so bloody tight
Donnya did 'Recession Love' [shut ya mout or is de full amout'] LOL I'm sure she looked directly at me midway through her performance, but when I asked her, she said No..

Alas Myles, Dario Piggot [think he won silver for a 'real g'] or Adrian Greene did not perform..My guess is that the Committee is saving them for the Gala which cmes off this Sunday! Hopefully I'll get a photo of Donnya and say hi to her properly! Congrats to EVERYONE!

Re-Occurring Fashion trend - Big Boots

No, not hi-top sneakers/so last summer 09 [previous trend was in 2003/04, I actually still have my old Adidas under my bed at my mom's house...Vintage I call them], Big Boots, you know the ones where if you were a fisherman in Slovenia, you have to be donning them everyday. The ones, soldiers wore back in the 60's.....Yup, they're back

Back in 1994 [when I'd have been 7 years], BIG Boots seemed to be all the rage, below you can see the similarity of style.


in 1994



in 2009

Haven't you seen the 'transform ya' video? Pretty flipping cool...
Anyway popeater dislikes Chris' boots ' and the entire album cover actually...
I've been trying to search what type of boots Mechanical Dummy [Chris Breezy] is wearing, but to no avail.
It'd be almost impossible for me to seek the name of Junior Demus'.

I won't be bold enough to make the Big Boot fashion statement just yet... I'll stay with Hi-top sneaks, right now though I'm feeling the Skytop Societies.
I wonder if the big fashion houses [PRADA, GUCCI, LOUIE VUITTON etc..] are putting big boots in their winter collection



but I still haven't saved for my Skytop Ones...and they are already Skytop Dueces! Go http://suprafootwear.com/footwear/






Slightly off-topic -- Michael Jordan's son @ College refuses to wears University Sponsored Adidas which causes the school to lose it's Contract.
