My Linksys BEFW11S4 Wireless-B Cable/DSL Router is installed and working. Working on my laptop instead of Amber’s extremely slow ancient PC is a lot more fun.

Women, Gays, Sex, Islam

Muslims should not just look at the halal and haram aspect of homosexuality but also try to be compassionate towards gay Muslims. The issue of women’s spaces in mosques is also an important one.

I guess it’s time for some pictures since it’s the 27th week. The pregnancy is finally showing, though it can be somewhat hidden in Amber’s Pakistani kameez shalwar.

Kill Bill, Troy, Lenin and More

Kill Bill Vol 2 isn’t really a separate movie from Kill Bill: Vol 1. It has a somewhat different feeling to it though. It is slower than the first one which was just non-stop action.
