While deadlines are here, Burma has problems, the Iranian president said there's no gay people in Iran, and a whole lot of other crap is running through my mind, I hear rumblings in the bushes not 5 feet from me, the leaves are shaking, and I hear something moving around. From a medium high falls out a lizard with no tail. Was it just attacked and hence it fell out, or was it just clumsy? I seldom...
While deadlines are here, Burma has problems, the Iranian president said there’s no gay people in Iran, and a whole lot of other crap is running through my mind, I hear rumblings in the bushes not 5 feet from me, the leaves are shaking, and I hear something moving around. From a medium high falls out a lizard with no tail. Was it just attacked and hence it fell out, or was it just clumsy? I seldom ever see lizards in my backyard, so this was a trip. The lizard king let me get up to just one foot or so from it and it still didn’t move. It scurried away like an alligator, looking ridiculous.

I’ve finally made it back to NYC! After leaving on such a sour note with the broken leg in July, I’m stoked to be walking around New York again. This time I’m here to attend the Chivas Regal party which will be held on Friday at the NY Public Library. Any chance to come back to NYC is fine with me.These little figures are all along the wall of the Prince St. subway.

WTF? I’m going to have to dedicate an entire blog to this thing once I finish reading it.

Why Japan? Is it to keep up that image of Harajuku girls? Yes, Tokyo is a neat place, and the image this commercial brings out shows Tokyo as being neat, and maybe you’ll have fun blogging or making a scrap book out of your experiences there. Since most Americans don’t travel, this isn’t about trying to tell you to go there, it’s about putting you in touch with far away places without leaving your computer. In the end, the site gives you a little, check it out at hp.com/gwen. The neat commercial goes away, and in some ways my guess was correct, you get to do stuff, and buy stuff from your desktop vicariously through Gwen Stefani. It’s HP, no doubt. They don’t want you to go anywhere, but they do want to give you a taste of a faraway place that looks neat. How about a blog entry for her trip or tour in Japan? It would have been nice to see something a bit less scripted and more integrated with the Lost in Translation like, commercial. Neat start, then it fizzles on the site.
