Van Gogh Unicorn Chaser

It’s hump day again. And you know what THAT means: unicorn chaser time! Today we have a roundup of happy swirling stars and happy swimming orcas.

Your swirling, starry night Van Gogh unicorn chaser:

and if that doesn’t make you feel all numinous and tingly, here are some shots of some killer whales (if the name isn’t cosy enough, try “orcas”) visiting Vancouver like a pod of bosses. Congrats to Dave Price, who got these shots which were featured in the Province newspaper. Burrard Inlet is generally too noisy and sometimes too polluted to attract whales, and no pods make it part of their regular territories. That seawall, by the way, is my regular rollerblading route. There are compensations for the rain, it must be admitted.

Situation Room Normal All Fucked Up

Or: SrNAFU.

As you can see from the above, newly-discovered image, the White House press secretary’s office has been going into overdrive, frantically and retroactively photoshopping people into the iconic Situation Room image in which, this blog revealed yesterday, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was invisible because she was a vampire. The female aide at the back of the room was also invisible, since of course she, too, belongs to the race of Amazonian Undead which has seized control of the State Department.

As for the Situation, it can only get better.
