I'm interested to hear what people think of the book.

I still can't believe the former actually said 500,000 Iraqi babies dying was worth it... I was mocking Apophis with that comment, but you're right. IR as a field still has those same problems, and every IR major and grad student I've ever met has been a douchebag so I don't see it changing anytime soon.

MOG, H-town, and a "town" I will not name to keep my mysterious appeal I am no traitor But yes, I was thinking to head to Hargeisa from Jijjiga since it's an easy trip... only issue is my immediate family in H-town will be on vacation in the UK then, and I'm not sure if I want to travel solo just for the book fair. We'll see.

If my time in Hargeisa coincides. btw caano ari is not meant to be drunk rather added to tea I hate it in tea too, somehow caano adhi tastes like a goat smells to me. It's gross. So you're planning a Somalia trip this summer? Where to? I've actually never been to the book fair, I left two weeks before last time. But I'll be in Ethiopia then, and I'm considering heading to Hargeisa for a short visit.

Yup! I think this is the 6th year. You thinking of going?

^^ Fela is awesome. I went to one of this band's shows last year, great live act:

I think you knew that All is well here... still hard to believe there were 10,000 cops with armoured vehicles and military equipment running around my area. But I'm back on the school grind and looking forward to handing in the last of these papers so I can go back to Toronto for a few weeks

Caano adhi is disgusting, SP. That's another strike against you dee

SomaliPhilosopher;942846 wrote: Oba, as your political adviser, I recommend you remove Safferz from this thread as her speech and vulgar manner, will incite riots amongst the religious folks and will isolate you from the wadaads, your financial backers. As Safferz's _________, I recommend you carry out this exile through perhaps sending her to the Bajuni islands, where I have a nice romantic cabin. My what? :confused: And I believe I alienated the wadaads long ago, talking about feminism and twerking

No! Then I started writing parody sequels for it, looking at it now I suspect that's when I first got on Wadani's radar lol

No I haven't, I may need another decade to be ready for pirate films. I saw "Asad" recently and I still haven't recovered.

And audio clips of fake Somali, like the one used in the scene above.

+ 1 for warlord. (I watched Black Hawk Down recently and took screenshots of everything hilarious)

It is a matter of self-esteem and self-validation for both the reader and the writer It's why the best and most popular history books are the clear, accessible ones written by journalists and other non-academics who understand good writing, while academics write books that are only owned by a few university libraries and never read by anyone except colleagues in their subfields and the grad students they assign it to as reading. Academic jargon is problematic, and often serves to create the illusion of substance.

haha aww beautiful songs Wadani seems to be avoiding this thread.
