My letter to the CEO of Home Depot:
I agree with PETA and am calling on you (and the The Home Depot) to immediately end the sale of ladybugs and praying mantises at your stores and furthermore, adopt a policy prohibiting the future sale of any live animals.
Animals, even ones as small as ladybugs and praying mantises, aren't merchandise.
Wall to Wall-E
Stuck in my head so why not stuck in yours, too:
There's a world outside of Yonkers
Way out there beyond this hick town, Barnaby
There's a slick town, Barnaby
Out there
Full of shine and full of sparkle
Close your eyes and see it glisten, Barnaby
Listen, Barnaby...
Put on your Sunday clothes, there's lots of world out there
Get out the brillantine and dime cigars
We're gonna find adventure in the evening air
Girls in white
In a perfumed night
Where the lights are bright as the stars!
Put on your Sunday clothes, we're gonna ride through town
In one of those new horsedrawn open cars
We'll see the shows
At Delmonico's
And we'll close the town in a whirl
And we won't come home until we've kissed a girl!
My soundtrack complaint - why not the whole song?
...designer Nadia Plesner is getting sued by Louis Vuitton for showing the likeness of a Vuitton bag in a campaign to encourage divestment from Darfur. [...] "As an artist yourself, we hope that you recognize the need to respect other artists' rights and Louis Vuitton's Intellectual Property rights," the attorney wrote. Plesner, probably aware that artist's like Murakami have the right to appropriate and satirize the work of others, lawyered up and refused. Now, according to TechDirt, Vuitton is "demanding $7,500 for each day she keeps selling the product, $7,500 for each day she displays its original cease-and-desist letter and (my favorite) $7,500 for each day she mentions the name 'Louis Vuitton' on her website."
Said the artist, "Since doing nothing but wearing designerbags and small ugly dogs appearantly is enough to get you on a magasine cover, maybe it is worth a try for people who actually deserves and needs attention."
Just in time for this week-end, however!
Calendar
says spring but today sure doesn't feel like it. I am not looking
forward to standing outside for the commute home, however, the
remaining Easter cookies await, so there's one reason to go home
(early).
Time to brew a cup of Peet's coffee and make a serious dent in these.

I would have thought there were more songs that used the phrase 'miles away,' but a quick web-search came up dry.
Manager of Walt Disney Studios' Title Graphics Department for six years before moving on to design titles for a number of live action films, Susan Bradley teamed up with the Pixar gang again in 2006 and was involved in their recent animated success, Ratatouille.
Read about her and (a little) future Pixar project gossip.
[Thanks]
This came in the afternoon eMail from Netflix. Can't say that I have ever seen this message before much less having to send the film from so far away.
They ways of those in Los Gatos are strange to us mortals.
