Bad night last night
Sometimes, I wish I really took the time to keep a pad and paper next to my bed to record my dreams. I'm not really sure what I dreamed about last night, but I just know that it left a bad taste in my mouth this morning and I've been down all day.
I also got a rush of bad vibes last weekend, when I changed my bed sheets. I put away the flannel ones I'd been sleeping on all winter and got out the cotton ones I use for warmer weather. That made me think about Tina, as I bought those sheets when we were together and, well, I had some of the most intense moments of my life on those sheets. I know it's silly, as I'm now quite over her and I know it would be insane to start something up again (as, for as much as I loved her, I know she's also certifiably mad). It's just that those sheets made me remember how good being in love feels. The weirdest things can trigger emotions like that.
So for now, I'm trying to plod along my day until I can go home and bury myself in the book I'm reading.
From the original Pravda article: http://english.pravda.ru/main/18/90/361/12434_sex.html
Some countries have very weird laws about sex.
For instance, in many Middle Eastern countries it is prohibited to eat the sheep you had sex with. A person who decided to eat this sheep is making a deadly sin, and he will never get into paradise with 70 virgins.
In Lebanon having half of population Christians, men are officially allowed to have sex with animals. Yet, an important restriction is applied: the animal must be female. For sex with male animals death penalty can be imposed. In Indonesia a person will be executed if he/she masturbated.
In Bahrain a man-gynecologist can have patient”s examination only by seeing the genitals” image in the mirror.
In Guam, the island in the Pacific owned by the USA, there are specialists called defloration-makers. Such a specialist goes around the island and deprives females of virginity for a certain fee. A virgin cannot get married in Guam. A defloration-maker is the most exotic profession in the world, but this specialist is unlikely to move up the career ladder.
In Hong Kong a woman cheated by her husband is allowed to kill him, but only with bare hands, use of weapons is not permitted. As for her husband's mistress, the wife is allowed to kill her by any means.
In Columbia, a woman is allowed to have sex only with her husband. The bride”s mother has the role of an eye-witness and she is required to be next to the spouses during their very first sexual intercourse.
The USA also has its collection of weird laws about sex. In Arizona keeping more than two dildos at home is prohibited. In Colorado there is a ban on kissing a woman who sleeps. In Hartford Connecticut, a man is forbidden from kissing his wife on Sunday.
In Florida only the position “man on top” is legally allowed, and it is not allowed to kiss woman's bust during sexual intercourse. In Massachusetts, a woman is not allowed to have the position of “woman on top” in sex as well.
In Minnesota, sex with birds is strictly prohibited. In Ohio women are not allowed to wear lacquered shoes because they underwear can be seen on their “mirror” surface.

Gah. Second roommate came back from her trip. That means that both her and her BF are back at the apartment. I was enjoying the silence. It’s not that I don’t like her, but I’m having more and more trouble enduring her annoying laugh and kitschy style.
Monday comic
And just so you know, I added some more comics to the archive
PS: I really, really love this song. It's a classic blues song, and it's played by a master. I'll always regret not being able to see SRV on stage.
