So that didn’t work

Between writing and Buddhapuss Books, there hasn’t been much time for blogging or movie reviews. Despite my prediction, the War of the Worlds movie review is but vaporware as of this moment. Which is a shame. The short version: I liked the film.

All operations will return to normal by Monday, if not Sunday. Until then – party on. I mean, have a good weekend!

Why I like Belgians

Apparently there are indignities Belgian won’t suffer, even under penalty of international embarrassment and ridicule. They are a tolerant and wise nation, but do not ask them to forgo beer at lunch.

Members of Iran and Belgian’s parliaments were set to meet in a power luncheon in Belgium when Iranian Diplomats requested that their Dutch speaking counterparts not serve alcohol.

“Even for the tolerant Herman De Croo, that was a bridge too far,” De Croo, a Dutch-speaking Liberal, told De Standaard daily Thursday.

Alcohol free lunch…bridge too far…got it.

Now I understand why there hasn’t been a new drug introduced on the European Market in over ten years. What’s left undone before lunch is what is left undone.
