Perfectly Mediocre. It doesn't mean not trying to be good at anything. It means trying not to be good at everything.
Mike Scheinberg and Faiqa Khan talk about faith, politics, culture and pretty much everything besides hummus on a podcast that just might save the world. Or not.
For some reason, I thought Diwali occurred over several days.
You’re right, it does. Today is the first day.
NO, no, I’m sorry, it’s the third day…Diwali is the third day. I think there are 2 days of worship that proceed it. Darnit, Adam, go read the link.
Happy Diwali! I’m jealous you get to celebrate so many cool holidays!!
If appropriate, Happy Diwali to you as well.
… “two days of worship that precede it.” Not “proceed” it. I’m hopeless today.
@ Tami: Thanks! Actually, Diwali is a Hindu celebration, so I don’t technically celebrate it since I’m Muslim. Plus, you have Easter and Christmas AND you get the day off for them, so I have a lot to be envious of, as well.
Still, since I have friends who do celebrate Diwali, I get to go to parties and eat their awesome food. Multiculturalism has its benefits.
@ B.E. Earl: Now that I think about it, wishes of happiness are always appropriate. Thanks.
Happy Diwali to you too..and Eid Mubarak.
I kind of like Diwali. They have a big celebration outdoors in the main park where I live but it is much bigger in Leicester and Coventry.
Christmas is more or less ruined here in England by commercialism.
I looked at some of your other posts. They are interesting I will come again.
Thanks james, I look forward to seeing you around.
What a lovely holiday!
I’m jealous of your party and food rounds. Then again, I am starving…
oh how pretty.
A prosperous new year to you as well!
@Sybil We had a good time, the food was aaaawesome.
@Crys There were a lot of diwali photos on Flickr, but I like this one for its simplicity
@RW: Thank you Mr. Mac User Smarty Pants.
