Today's quote, from mouseworks

"...some people really love being able to be in a place that doesn't snicker when they claim to be poets."

I wish we were all in places where people didn't snicker at us for any reason at all. Thanks for a bright start to my day.

Today's Graphic Design URL

For the graphic designers, 1950's enthusiasts, and fontheads amongst you, this website is for you. Beware, though; you may suddenly get a craving to grab a burger and shake at the local hangout and then catch a drive-in movie with your main squeeze in a dark corner of the lot.

Marquee mystery solved

Earlier this week I wrote about a marquee being erected in Eaton Square. On Wednesday I discovered that one of the events for London Fashion Week was being held in that marquee. Coacher were everywhere with the "London Fashion Week" logo on the side. Presumably people are ferried from catwalk to catwalk.

Today there is no trace of the marquee at all. Sic transit gloria mundi...

Zhu ni cheng ri kuai le, wilsurn

...and many happy returns of the day

A Republican even I could vote for

Most Republicans are slimy snakes who have no ethics or morals, and who shed tears only over Republican cloth coats and small dogs for their children, all paid out of slush funds.

Well, this video of the Republican mayor of San Diego announcing that he would sign a pro-same-sex marriage resolution sent to him by the City Council, makes me wonder whether, perhaps, some Republicans are discovering the ethics and morals they abandoned in the wake of Reagan's election in 1980.

If I were in San Diego, I'd consider voting for him, and I hope you would too.
