Got this from maaseru.

You're the United Nations!

Most people think you're ineffective, but you are trying to
completely save the world from itself, so there's always going to be a long
way to go.  You're always the one trying to get friends to talk to each
other, enemies to talk to each other, anyone who can to just talk instead of
beating each other about the head and torso.  Sometimes it works and sometimes
it doesn't, and you get very schizophrenic as a result.  But your heart
is in the right place, and sometimes also in New York.

Absurdly apropos: I am and always have been a huge supporter of the UN and the World Federalists Association and such things.

I hope most people don't think I'm ineffective. I think this description of the UN must have been written by an American! Though this is not meant to imply, of course, that only Americans misuse the word "schizophrenic".

Selling off the Indy...

They're selling off the props for Horatio Hornblower.

I want those coats. Well, one of those coats.

I suppose I also want my own Indefatigable, complete with Captain. But you can't have everything.

It's sad to see: end of an era.
