YouTube what did I do without you?
Two tube pieces of video blingage. The first something new and the second an old favourite (so old I think this clip came out when Alf was considered to be a viable concept for a sitcom).
Revolutionary Road
The second film of The Titanic Trilogy, Revolutionary Road reunites Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and Kathy Bates as souls who hit a metaphorical rather than actual iceberg this time around. Well acted, but depressing, it does little for the home abortion industry. I'd give this film three and a half stars solely for not allowing Celine Dion to return to sing the theme tune. Watch the trailer here.
Will have to see how the third and final film turns out before I pass judgement. It's rumoured to be a remake of Tim Burton's remake of Planet of the Apes.
Nude from the waste down?
Acceptable levels of adult nudity. It varies from gender to gender. Discuss.
Seussology
Other than worshiping Mexican cuisine and Barack Obama a man should really try and find something to believe in. Scientology want too much money, and the probing is unwarranted, Richard Gere ruined Buddhism (and gerbils), the Secret is shitret, Jedi cloaks don't suit summer in Australia and while Big Love makes Mormonism appealing, who'd want to live in Utah?
That is until of course I discovered Seussology. Rhyme with the great doctor and you too can have all of your dreams come true. His words are wise, and the green eggs and ham are always fresh. Here are some of his more famous quotes, I mean commandments.
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
“We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.”
“Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.”
“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.”
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”
“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”
“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”
- Dr. Seuss
In the year 2000
The Bibliothèque Nationale de France has a gallery of illustrations by Villemard (you'll notice he has a thing for levers and pulleys) from the year 1910 (what a crazy, hot time that was) imagining what life would be like in the year 2000. I'm a little puzzled as to why they predicted that fashion wouldn't change, but run with it.
And for those of you who don’t speak 1910, I’ve translated Villemard’s pictures above into words.

The Art of Boring Meetings
Some meetings are so scintillating that they may cause the average human person to consider ending the meeting any way any how. Here are some possibilities.
Yes he did!

Blogolution
What this blog will be, nobody knows. It may evolve or de-evolve (depending on your point of view and overall standpoint on all things Charles Darwin) into chaos due to abandonment, boredom and a lack of usable brain-waves. Or it could uncover a much needed portal between Eternia and Etheria so that He-Man and She-Ra can once again be reunited. As brother and sister and not man and wife of course. Let's make it so.
