– Raymond Loewy gently weeps. Its not so much economy as despair at the potential.
– Gracianne pays me a very large compliment at Un dimanche a la campagne by doing my lard based lemon meringue pie in French.
– You'll get your money's worth in the opening credits of Casino Royale, rest is gravy. Sad to see the optimism of the 60's with lasers has been replaced by the naked man and a chair of the current zeitgeist.
– Lingot d Argental from Lyon is as gentle and creamy a soft cheese as you could want. They've got some at Herdies.
– You, Me and Dupree is the best French comedy of 2006.
– I'm a complete bum. Pim nicely asked me to join Menu for Hope III and I've done nothing. Keep a sharp eye on it, it aims to raise a motza for the United Nation's World Food Program and you can help.
– Van Halen's Jump sounds surprisingly fresh thanks to a very dirty bit of background fuzz on the synth. 1984 is the only concept album to last one song. Rather than apollonian/dyonysian as the two dichotomies of our culture, I think we could learn a lot from Lee Rothian/Hagarian divisions. I think the Age of Hagar of the past six years is one the wane and welcome the waxing of Lee Roth (not literally, hairiness is part of his charm).
– hirsute means hairy, who knew?
