yesterday i caught an episode of hamtaro, a strange anime show about a bunch of hamsters...they talk (of course!) and have adventures, and hang-out. it's creepy but also strangely interesting. the group of hamsters are called ham-hams, and their leader, boss is actually quite amusing. in a similar vein, check out this piece about arafat calling for new elections here at home. classic. finally, i managed to find a cool website detailing the adventures of two people, a robot and the metro system. it's great stuff...check it out!
