Looking at my referrer logs today, I noticed Billie is #15 in Google Image Search for “retarded cats.”

New plog has lots more long exposure photography experimentations. I’m probably the only person amused by this sort of thing.

The Zeitgeist for Spring 2005 is Qwantzing, a process whereby song lyrics are displayed in outline format. I made this one as an example:

Things I want:

• a new drug

Things that this drug should not do:

• make me sick
• make me crash my car
• make me feel three feet thick
• make me nervous, wondering what to do
• spill
• cost too much
• come in a pill
• go away
• keep me up all night
• make me sleep all day
• make me feel too bad
• make me feel too good
• make me talk too much
• make my face freak out

Things that this drug should do:

• make me feel like I feel when I’m with you, when I’m alone with you
• what it should
• have no doubt

The “What Do You Think?” section of The Onion is always a dependable source for incisive commentary. Today’s best example comes from the middle-aged lady, this week known as Joy Mattingly, Designer. She had this to say about Condoleezza Rice’s confirmation as Secretary of State:

“Twenty years ago, I never would’ve believed that we’d have a black, female Secretary of State, much less one who was a conservative warmonger, too. We’ve come a long way.”

In other news, happy 50th birthday to Eddie Van Halen. Ed, I can’t say enough great things about your abilities as an innovative player and composer. If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then you’re the most flattered guitarist in the world. I do wish you’d quit smoking and drinking, though; if you’re lucky you’ll live to look like Keith Richards, and who wants that?

Ain’t nuthin’ wrong with that.
