Honestly, could he get any creepier? He's like all the evil parts of Monty Burns come to life - he's such a grotesque caricature, I find it difficult sometimes to take him seriously, which is a very dangerous predicament indeed.

On the other side of the tracks, I was feeling that Obama's speech, the sections that I have been able to hunt down in any ( Read more... )

Celebrating my first "sip and moan" caffè e latte, café au lait, café con leche, whatever you want to call it, my cup o' caffeinated heaven, for a good year or so now. Yes, there have been other good cups of coffee in that time, some lovely ones in fact, along with some downright disastrous brews, but today, when my coffee-need and the artful hand ( Read more... )

Two fun things for a slow friday night:

1.( Stuff that's really cute and very diverting when read completely out of context. )

That's okay ( Read more... )

Whilst doing some astronomy research I, naturally, stumbled into X-Files territory and then, quite by accident, discovered this.

Honestly, I'm really not that into toys and action figurines and things, but... man, it's Frank. With a Webley, pager (with "2000" flashing on it, no doubt) AND his parka. I wish he had his S2 hair, but really, the grey ( Read more... )
