all them boys, and all they noise
My friend Steve has been talking to me about political related thing lately, and brought some shit to my attention:

http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/10/20061017-1.html
the White House website is well designed, but check out under the patriot act the graphic they devised. What's with that late 90's Photoshop pattern overlay of small squares.
on to the upbeat--
What the world eats, photo essay. (Mmmm C. C. Lemon & Nachan)
New York Times Photographer's explanation of some beautiful work. Keyword "surreal".
A Quote from one ending of "Pretty Little Mistakes", the current book club (choose your own--1 of 150--ending[s]) book:
"
He makes you smile. Everything he says is pretty fucked up. Eddie, or Big Eddie as he calls himself, swears more than any person you've ever met in your life. He also knows more about philosophy, religion, and politics than any person you've met in your life. While you're on the train he quotes Aristotle, argues for sustainable agriculture subsidies, and claims he makes the best cranberry duck hash in the motherfucking free world.
He's on his way back to Anchorage, where he'll take another place to Halibut Cover, a tiny fishing village on an island off the western coast of Alaska. 'I live in three big-ass ship containers welded together,' he says. 'Heats up like a pussy in winter though--ever deep winter. I got three fucking wood-burning stoves and I burn ceder. Smells like a motherfucking hippie bus.'
You like Eddie. You feel safe around him...
Eddie buys you a first class ticket...
That's not fish, it's squid ink...Turns out he's a master watercolorist...
Halibut cove isn't just a fishing village, it's an artists' community...
Life in Halibut Cove is as unique and strange and beautiful as any life you could imagine.
You die in a charter plane...
