define 'fame'.
heh. heard today that the latest edition of The British Marque has a picture of me on page 5 (and i quote from my sources) 'casting a wilting concours judge's eye on a row of MGAs at MG Day'. had no idea they were taking snaps when i went out to the car show. ....oh, wait. yeah, actually, i do remember, as i kept dodging the other photographers to get snaps of the cars i liked. too funny.

summer me
about time i put up a summer version of my avatar, don't you think?
can't exactly remember where i put that last one *rummages* but i know i was wearing a turtleneck. and it's just too hot for that.

FF
technically, FridayFive is on vacation this week. but i haven't been regular about this in ages, so i nicked a back set of questions.
1. How often do you do laundry?
as infrequently as possible.
2. What's in a typical wash load?
i sort everything; most often, i do a warm wash of colors. whites get their own load, cold wash its own, sheets and towels their own, too. and it's not really laundry, per se, but i got one of those home dry cleaning kits. works pretty well.3. Front or top loader? Powder or liquid detergent?
top loader, since that's what the landlord provided. liquid soap, ecologically safe and citrus scented.4. Do you use fabric softener in the rinse cycle?
yes; just started using the Downy Ultra ball. it makes a difference, for sure. also nice is the fact that the cold wash/line dry things smell nicer.
5. Dryer or clothesline?
dryer. if i had a yard, and didn't live in the city, where everything gets covered with grime, i'd use a line on the nice days.

argh...
okay, now sars has me thinking about this. anyone know who did The Voice in Field of Dreams? don't bother checking IMDB; not there. and it's making me mildly insane.

where'd the pictures go?
apologies for the broken images... my host has made a few changes that are mostly good, as they protect against bandwidth theft. downside, tho, is that images don't show up here. **working on fixing it...**

kudos to tristan fabriani
tristan, if you find this: please tell me how to link back to you, because i want to give you all kinds of props.
Rumination of the Day
Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day.
Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime.
Get a man hammered on Jaegermeister at the company Christmas party and you can talk him into eating tropical fish from the reception room aquarium.
mega props to the Top Five List.

assonance.
yeah. i know. it doesn't look like a good word. but one of my regular readers told me 'i'm used to the assonance - dreaming in denmark. so... summer in syria? sailing in scotland?' can't really fault the question. anyone else want to weigh in on the newish layout?

listen up, my friend.
if you have never listened to Henry Rollins - do it. Do It. he is intelligent, articulate, and amazingly funny. go. and tell me what you think, because i'd love to hear your opinion.

the timeless marriage of man, fire, and beef.
no comment, other than *damn*. one good slogan.

can i just say?
there are any number of ads that i love. but. i hate listening to our Native Language being slaughtered. please, *please* don't verb a noun. and if i ever hear someone pronounce paradigm as 'para-DIG-um', with emphasis on the second syllable, i may need to break out the rusty butter knife. argh!

gak.
okay. i may love baseball more than you. but. but it makes me crazy that one of the finest baseball players *ever* has been turned into a Splintersicle (thanks to sars for that comment). Ted Williams deserves better.
