Photos taken on the bus to work yesterday


The perfect marquee for the Gateway theater in Fort Lauderdale (near Victoria Park - a very gay-friendly community)

I have a soft spot for this place... one of the few joints that'll show art house / revival / non mainstream type stuff. Last thing I saw there was Superman - old-school seating... I've been spoiled by recliners and stadium-style. The last indy film I caught was the They Might Be Giants documentary.

They just need to get more interest in 70s kung fu movies or giant atomic-breathing dinosaurs and we'll be right on.


Two pictures of them tearing down the post office... I have a strange fondness for urban ruin / visible rebar.

You've Changed 44% in 10 Years

You've done a good job changing with the times, but deep down, you're still the same person. You're clothes, job, and friends may have changed some - but it hasn't changed you.

How Much Have You Changed in 10 Years?

Dr. Grordbort does it again. "Ready to Use" the ManMelter 3600 ZX comes prepped to vaporise all and sundry down to a molecular level. Featuring many of the latest ameliorations in Raygun Technology, it comes with Phlogiston cannisters, cleaning apparatus and wingdings, so that you may commence atomising Moon Soldiers or neighborhood dogs at your earliest convenience.



Someone remind me to pick up a Manmelter 3600ZX Sub-Atomic Disintegrator Pistol while I'm out picking up Newton-treats today...I'm not sure what the moon man situation is up north right now.

I don't think I've ever much into that soft and fuzzy elf on dragons crap; I like my fantasy drench in blood or urbane wit.
Yeah I'd say with History almost nothing is going to be objective or even that accurate in history, other than the occasional hard and dry facts, this happened on this day and such were in the realm where opinion, rumor and speculation are inevitable playing a hand.
Heck, how well do we really know the why and wherefores of much of what’s going on around us now? Let alone X many years ago.

That's an excellent point.

I wish I *did* know what really has been going on in the last 20 years, government-wise alone!

I'm sure that there are a lot of wriggly-worms if all stones were uncovered with reagan, bush, clinton and bush2.

You might enjoy A.C. Clarke's "Light of Other Days". Clever scientist types find a way to [insert tech here] which allows anyone to view - directly - any past event. One of the themes is how people attempt to mold history (of nations or individuals or themselves) into a coherent narrative and just how forced those efforts are.

And as to Bush 2, - the worms are all proudly out in the open, boasting of their unsurpassed wriggliness. But that's another rant.

I suspect Bush2 has even more worms unde rthe dirt, as it were... which is even more distressing.
