On This Day In History
Remember last October 28th? I posted this pretty funny pic, if I do say so myself.
Anyway, it's David's birthday again! Since his last birthday, he visited NYC once for NYE and we had much fun buying brightly colored pants, suffering the heat of my new apartment (until Jeremy figured out how to turn off the radiator, bless him), ate nice food, and tussled with Zach. He visited once again after that, which was after I ate that bad burrito, but we STILL had a nice time eating a mild dinner and watching a Barbara Stanwyck movie. Aren't friends great?
Here's hoping he visits again soon. In the meantime, here's us c. 1994, celebrating all the loot we picked up at Graceland. God Bless us ALL !

Rae of Light
I had nothing to blog today. Then a friend featured this.
I have no understanding of this, but now at least there's content. Win some, lose some. Nice to see you again, Mrs. Garrett.

White Hot Knuckle Thrills!
Here's a nice thing - movie posters done as comic books.
Even thinking about this movie makes me scaredy. I'll never eat Snickers again, nor marry a preacher!
And? Even thinking about this movie makes me sweaty at the ballet bar.

It's the end of the world as we know it. Curmudgeons: you were right. Culture is dead.On the plus side, my nephew is potty-trained.

Grand Ol' Opry
That great Aussie bum Joan Sutherland went up to Heaven this week. I was never a big Opera fan (mostly it's like a long episode of Frasier but with singing), but I do like talent.
Here she is with Dame Ella Fitzgerald & Dame Dinah Shore, upstaging them without even a microphone.
God Bless, Joan Sutherland

Snickers Really Horrifies
This so makes me never want to eat a Snickers. It's like the Night of the Hunter of candy commercials.

Drei Dinge auf Deutschland
Here are three things I learned while in Germany.
One: if you order Nachos, you get a plate of Doritos with three dips.
Two: they have no idea what QWERTY means. Tzping can be a dooyz.
Three: here's a gratuitous picture of me with culture and coffee.
Das Ende.

Books Are Exciting!
So, our dear friend Damon is a hero!
He's pictured above left at a previous Bookfair, I think this was 2004 or thereabouts. Most years, I get to celebrate my birthday with him, which is a pretty good consolation prize for not being home.
Anyway, this post isn't about my birthday, or even our friendship.
You may have seen this piece on NPR, or elsewhere:
Sadly, that's what happens when you go to 3rd World Countries like "England."
Fortunately, Kiwi-trained heroes abound, even on Knife-Crime Island. Here's what our Damon did:
Heroism! Cussing! Spectacles! Book business is fun! In the end, Sir Franzen got his glasses back, Damon and I had beer and "nachos" (pictures TK), and then I read about half of Freedom on the flight home. All in all, Win Win Win. Except for the miscreant.

Also? God's Horniest Creature
The Power of Positive Thinking: if you create a tag called "Gay Unicorns," you're going to stumble across some out there.
Songs of Solomon
Heaven got a bit soul-ier yesterday.
Good ol' Solomon Burke died this weekend, aged 70. He was a big deal in the 60s, and I really liked his work in the late 00s, when he did albums with covers of Tom Waits, Dylan, Patty Griffin, Gillian Welch, & others.
According to the obit I read, he has 21 children and 70 grandchildren.
Here he is covering that great Carol Channing/Pearl Bailey song I love so much. It could be about slavery, or about doing a televised Broadway show with your best friend, or passing, or I guess be about getting away from your 91 direct dependents. Rest in Peace, King of Soul.
