Romance in the 21St Century

Here is the chanteuse of the century:

and here is the quote of the century:

In lieu of the “It’s Complicated” relationship status,
Facebook should go with “It’s Devastating.”

Love is a Losing Game

For you I was a flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is a losing game

One I wish I never played
Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand

Self professed… profound
Till the chips were down
…know you’re a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

Though I’m rather blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

token Blogathon do-gooder post

I promised the lovely man who bought me lunch that I’d post something that would warm the cockles of somebody’s heart today, and since none of my friends have any heart-cockles at all, I’m going to have to scatter my posts pretty widely in hopes of hitting a soft-cockle-hearted person, so here’s a moving video about recycling.

Enjoy.

Thrills! Spills! It’s positively electric(al)!

Alphaville->Alphabette

And now for something completely weird:

I love these weird little things psouper posts to YouTube. I don’t understand any of them, but they are visually interesting and smooth out my frontal cortex nicely, like French ambient music. If Goddard by way of Cocteau is too much for you this time of night, try this:

Drunk Eastern European men attempting to put a log on a bicycle. THIS? This is where Borat came from, my friends. And it is documentary.

Blogathon Vermeer View

Duane Storey Workspace Interior Blogathon

This IS the way Vermeer would have shot Workspace, if he had a snazzy digital camera like Duane’s. Well, he would have stuck Scarlett Johansson in the foreground somewhere, I guess.

Yes, this is what my office looks like. Caroline in the corner there is sitting in my favorite seat; 270 degree views, a view over crab park and the railyards to Burrard inlet and the North Shore Mountains. And now I must go, because Mojave is playing us an acoustic set, sitting on the sofa behind where Duane was standing when he took this picture, with the lightning and sunset happening through the window behind them. People who are not Blogathoners are coming out of their offices to stand around and listen and I must do the same, for lo, they are very good.

War of the Sexes: Man vs Woman

Sorry, boys. We own you.

Another in our ongoing series of hilarious, sexy, booze-related commercials. Let’s get the Scots (particularly that long-haired one) together with this chick and breed a race of super-drinkers. Imagine if that happened: finally a date that could keep up with me!
