Way cool

Friday, February 17th, 2012

If I only had legs less like well stuffed sausages I’d wear this stuff in a heartbeat. Some of their swimsuits could almost entice me to go out in public in them, even.

I have always loved leggings and long shirts. Ever since back when I thought I was gonna be a theater type for the rest of my life. You know, before I got a real job. :)

So torn.

On one hand, my abiding magpie love of all things shiny, glowy and sparkly makes me desperately want to go see this someday.

On the other hand, I really, seriously have no interest in giving China any tourism dollars. Those people do ugly things to critters in the name of ancient medicine (not to mention the ugly things they do to dissidents).

Until they own us lock, stock and barrel, I will have to be satisfied with seeing it in pictures only. Once they own us, then there is no more point in resistance so then maybe I’ll go. Flights will probably be cheaper then, too.

For the media savviest, internet-ing-est, with it-est, hippest, smartest group of folks on the planet, they sure are tone deaf. I mean, yeah, they’ve proved it so many times over I sometimes have wondered if someone in that group isn’t secretly working against the President (DVDs that don’t play in the UK, anyone?).

I get that the place is actually Del Ray Pizza. But letting the President eat at a place called DRP? Really? From a bunch of old fogeys I’d get this flub. From this young group of media hounds? I don’t. If I know about an internet meme, why don’t they? I’m pretty clueless a lot of times when it comes to this stuff.

Look around on Flickr for Lichtfestival Gent or Ghent. Lots of very cool pictures.

Abandoned zoos. Creepy and cool. And an excellent idea for art with them over at Are We Lumberjacks?

 

Perfect

I got a box of Carolina goodies from Laura last week. Guess all those goat and voodoo bribes paid off…

Despite the presence of the Evyl Sock Monkey, I have been tasting away. Om nom nom! I had no idea the Carolinas had rice farms.

And Caliban clearly knows for whom the wind up mice were intended. He took possession right away.

Thanks, Laura!

Wow
