Mood: I-like-to-move-it-move-it[Toot!] Index: 0.0Communism Bit: OffLocation: KampalaHey, all. I'm back (weep!) and I'm located at http://detamble.com/blogs/1b.The new blogs is called My Song in the Trench. Well, the English part of it, anyway.The intro post there is here. (Was that sentence an oxymoron of sorts?)Meanwhile, since more people read this than other places where I write, I'll also use this here platform to introduce Fat Boy whose blog is called Freethought Kampala.

Because it Had to be Said posted on August 21, 2009 - 2:32pm

Mood: Still-gone mood[Toot!] Index: 9.2Communism Bit: OffLocation: EntebbeNow, I don’t like the fact that Nev’s mug is grinning at me from the bottom-left corner. Emblems that aspire to universalism should be impersonal; did you learn nothing about propaganda from the good Commies of yester-century? Clown Also, it is too American—especially when no irony or puns are intended—to say “I am Ugandan”. I say, in correct grammar, “I am a Ugandan”. But it is a worthy emblem, nonetheless, and I shall put it on me blog. Even on pain of having to break my vow of silence and blog-celibacy. Because it had to be said.

Mood: Leaving mood[Toot!] Index: 0.0001Communism Bit: OffLocation: EntebbeI’m going away. I won’t be posting on this blog any more. Yes, clapping and ululating is allowed. Enjoy yourselves. Most of my victims don’t—didn’t—outlive me.The weblogs will have more air, more signal, less noise. And now, you will be able to discuss amongst yourselves without having to watch for that noisy thing that shows up at the party and urinates in your comment boxes, letting the spirits talk through him. Incoherence has lost, verbosity is vanquished.

Mood: outsane mood[Toot!] Index: 3.2Communism Bit: OnLocation: Entebbe.caps {font-family: copperplate gothic light;}Girls, here’s something for you. There is this disease, called Grave’s Disease. The chances are low-ish that you’ll get it. But the reason I’m warning here is because I’m yet to hear of a more-deforming disease that is almost exclusively for girls. As in, maybe it’s not as bad as an amputation (at the neck, for example), but it is not easy to detect it, yet it damages in style. Okay, it’s easy to detect, but you’ll not know what you are detecting. You’ll think you’re just tired, yet your eyes are about to pop out of your head and dangle on a string of nerve.See, if you ever get shaky hands and legs, and they just shake on their own ... And your thyroid (the thing slightly below your Adam’s Apple—Eve’s, in your case) starts to swell ...

Mood: Yarrow mood[Toot!] Index: 3.2Communism Bit: OffLocation: EntebbeTerrible, terrible things have been happening in my world. For example, you know your guitar skills are terrifying when you have to chase your audience. Not just that: I was shouting “Only one verse! Just the first one! Okay, okay, only the opening lick. I’ve practiced since last time, I swear!” Now, I know I lost a string, but still.Anyway, problem is that when you hold the guitar, people want to hear a Jimi Hendrix. At least I know Hendrix didn’t play the adungu. Gon’ practice.Before I forget, go to Lulu's crib and vote already.

  1. The water-friendly birds of Europe started arriving recently. As always, the clearest signal is with the mallard ducks. I think migratory birds are an inspirational symbol, and if I had to pick one thing that most-embodies hope, I’d choose the migratory bird. It would also be my symbol for luxury: if it gets cold Up There, head Down There.Unfortunately, the humans Up There also figured out how to fly to Down Here when it gets cold Up There. As a result, there is a band of chain-smoking Greeks who are taking over my spot at the lake. Damn it. I own that place! The Greeks, they won’t leave anything alone, not even the markers I’m using to denote these points. On to ????, then.

AIDS Day Posts Round-up to You, Noise to Me Critics posted on December 6, 2008 - 3:51pm

Mood: Meta-critical mood[Toot!] Index: 3.3333Communism Bit: OffLocation: Entebbe.sf {font-family: copperplate gothic light;} .revdivider {border: solid #f00 1pt; width: 50%;} The 1st of December was World AIDS Day, and I could have passed out with pride, when I went checking the Ugandan blogging scene. I think I don’t normally know how serious/important something is until I read about it in the first person. The presonal character of this year’s blog posts on the World AIDS Day theme was nearly tear-jerking. Okay, not just nearly. I’ll list them, in no particular order.
