zaterdag 31 juli 2010

zaterdag 31 juli 2010 Up at 4:45. I hear about the service for the people who died at Germany's Love Fest. Angela Merkel takes time off from her vacation to attend. Report - Thousands Attend Love Parade Memorial Service. Some burrito with fried egg for breakfast. Turn on KEXP's Mind Over Matters. On Alternative Radio, Vandana Shiva talks about Shakti: The divine feminine creative power... an energy we need to change the world.

Burrito and fried egg for breakfast. Still on KEXP. Mike McCormick interviews the guys who helped make Countdown To Zero - Martin Fleck and Dave Hall.

They say that Washington State has most of the nuclear material outside Russia. Indeed, we have Hanford - the former nuclear weapons production site. The navy ships with their nuclear missiles driven with nuclear engines. And how many silos..? Shower. Walk up to Whole Foods to get Lemon Italian soda, salad bar and feta cheese. Drop off stuff at my place. Rest while I listen to Wait, Wait. Born in Iran and raised in the U.S., Maz Jobrani is one of the founding members of the Axis of Evil group -- a stand-up tour featuring Middle-Eastern comics. He plays Not My Job... three questions about baseball players who have injured themselves in stupid ways. And he gets 3 for 3! Walk up 5th to the Seattle Center. I can see the floats for the Torch Light Parade cruising down Mercer Street. Nice! A #3 takes me from the Seattle Center to The Regrade. I don't get it with Metro. The driver takes on passengers and tourists, explaining how to get off for the Pike Place Market... Then he arbitrarily decides that everyone needs to get off at Bell to take the #16 behind him. I just walk my way home. Forget, you, Metro. Drop off stuff. Watch Outer Limits - Human Operators. I'm not sure why they - HULU - think this a naughty video. Prudes!

I check on Chelsea Clinton's wedding on MSNBC. Report - It's Official, Chelsea and Marc Tie The Knot. Listen to Rick Steves' program. This week: Hungary - Beyond Budapest. they look into the countryside of Hungary. Tour guide Peter Polczman highlights the scenic Danube Bend, Lake Balaton, and the winemaking center of Eger, known for its strong "bull's blood" wine. Take a nap. Later, I turn on KIRO to watch the Torchlight Parade.
First, they kick things off with the Torchlight Run.

Seattle native - Apolo Ohno - one of the most decorated Olympians in U.S. history - is the Grand Marshall.

Argh! Argh! We are pirates.
