Sometimes I think I enjoy listening to music before I go out, more then the actual going out bit.
If we do not change direction, we are likely to end up where we are headed.

Floating rubbish dump 'bigger than US' →
IT has been described as the world’s largest rubbish dump, or the Pacific plastic soup, and it is starting to alarm scientists. Discovered in 1997 by American sailor Charles Moore, what is also called the great Pacific garbage patch is now alarming some with its ever-growing size and possible impact on human health.

Dear Pixmania
First off - it took me 3 attempts before I could fill out the registration form - very irritating set up. Second, I DID NOT like the sneaky fashion in which the “Zen Engagement” package was tacked on to my order, adding an extra charge - with no easily viewable way to uncheck that “service”. Third, after submitting my laser card details to finalise my order a page was...
Comic: Garfield ohne Garfield →
Garfield allein war schon witzig. Aber Garfield ohne Garfield ist noch viel mehr. Die völlig unverkaterten Bilder, die der Ire Dan Walsh auf seiner Garfieldminusgarfield-Website zeigt, beweisen: Die wahre Präsenz liegt in der Abwesenheit.
Review of G-G on a German newspaper site. Which is nice. Um… I think.

In an interview with this week’s Radio Times about his latest documentary, on Charles Darwin and natural selection, the broadcaster said: “They tell me to burn in hell and good riddance.” Telling the magazine that he was asked why he did not give “credit” to God, Attenborough added: “They always mean beautiful things like hummingbirds. I always reply by saying...
Man trapped by sofa sipped whisky - BBC News →

doodlepipski
Doodlepipski has died a death lately as I haven’t really had the time to doodle/scan/post, so I’ve decided to take it in another direction. As you may have noticed I do enjoy the odd webcomic or two, in fact most days I have to restrain myself from posting too many to travors.com for fear of turning it into a “joke-fest”. Having said that, what’s so bad about a...

P.S.
I would of course never unfollow Stephanie. Apart from my admiration for the fact that she’s the one person who’s a more demented Ryan Adams fan then I am, I’ve also heard she can hurt a face with a mere flick of her kung-fu wrist.
I think I may have to do a tumblecull™, I went out for dinner and by the time I came back I’d 11 pages of tumblr posts to get through :/
Life is 10% of what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.
