Table O' Fic

( absolution )

The ANC government denied the Dalai Lama a visa, saying it wouldn't be in the best interests of the country if he was allowed to come in. Some nonsense about distracting attention away from the peace talks ahead of the 2010 World Cup. Never mind that the peace talks were directly related to the World Cup, and that Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu invited him to attend.

The real reason has nothing to do with the interests of SA - the last time the government cared about that was when Mandela was in office. No, the real reason is that the government and China are new BFF and if SA let the Dalai Lama come visit, then China might decide not to come over and play anymore.

In response, Mandela, Tutu and FW De Klerk withdrew from the peace talks. And the peace talks were cancelled. Way to go, government!

And while thousands of cricket fans are excited that the IPL will be held here, I personally think England should have got it. You're not supposed to reward a country for doing something stupid.

ETA: I love my country, don't get me wrong. I just think the government needs to rethink its priorities.

Replace Why With Funny

I recommend Dearheart, Great White Bear and The Same. (But everything's awesome, really.)

"Dearheart"



"Never Goes" - that's my brother on the drums!



"Great White Bear"

honeymink, the Spooks DVDs arrived in the post today ... so no guesses as to what I've been doing all afternoon. :-)

Thank you! You're the best!

A very belated thank you drabble for serialbathera. Criminal Minds, Elle, Spencer. 100 words.

. . .

He almost doesn't recognise her, and looks twice to be sure that she is who he thinks she is.

She looks happier than he remembers her being and wonders if it has anything to do with the child on her hip. Probably. Motherhood suits her, he thinks with a smile. He studies the two of them through the window of the coffee shop, debating whether to go outside and talk to her.

He is part of her previous life. The only monsters she knows now are in her child's story books.

When she walks on by, he lets her go.

Untitled drabble. Ziva, Gibbs, future-fic.

. . .

Gibbs, surprisingly, is the first person to visit in the hospital. Ziva is too exhausted to comment as she watches him through half-shut eyes. He's at the window, his profile dark against the light.

He looks good with a baby in his arms, she thinks.

"Hi, Hannah," he says, his voice low. There's an unfamiliar softness in his tone and Ziva feels her heart melt. "When you're old enough to worry about boys, you come to your Uncle Jethro for advice. Not Uncle Tony, okay?"

Hannah gurgles in reply, and Ziva drifts to sleep with a smile on her face.

A meme from antiqueskies:

Dear f-listers in Europe and the UK,

If you're into alternative folk pop then you should check out Dear Reader who'll be on tour in Europe and the UK in February/March. If (like me) you're not sure what alternative folk pop actually is then listen to their sample tracks and decide if it's your thing.

Check them out on FaceSpace* too.

(And I'm not just biased 'cause my brother's the drummer. They're good. Really.)

*My brothers' term for Facebook, also sometimes referred to as MyBook.

F-list, I need your help.

If you were a guest at my wedding, which songs would you be dancing to?

Thanks for the birthday wishes raptor47, gemmi_joo, velvetwhip, eolivet and for the virtual gift yahtzee63. I had a really great day. :-)
