A Week in Brief

This has been a busy week, or maybe two weeks. I have lost counting! I remember that we were in late February, then quickly came March, and the total Lunar Eclipse on 3 March, which was cool. What surprised me was that a mainly religious Shiite TV channel, Al-Forat, was carrying the eclipse live from Baghdad, with a “suitable” religious soundtrack running with the eclipse!

I will try posting the eclipse photos i got, soon on my Picasa album.


The other thing that gave me the giggles this week was something I read in a Kurdish newspaper here. It was an article about Britney Spears, and how she recently shaved her head. The funniest thing was a typo by that newspaper which made the singer’s name as “Brainy Spears”!!! When I read that I was like: “But dude! This girl isn’t brainy! She didn’t do anything brainy that I could recall recently!!”
