This Engrish fail was taken a year ago in Cyprus and I only just found it in my photo archives. Please link back if reproduced.

Here's a visualisation of this week's blog feed; it's not hard to see where my mind's been at lately.

I've been wondering what the theme song might be to the upcoming James Bond film, "Quantum of Solace". I would personally love for an extended version of Goldfrapp's "Lovely Head" (which has a perfect vibe for a 007 flick), or perhaps this suggestion. Happy April.

I don't know why people keep fighting over petty differences between major monotheistic religions which themselves came out of polytheism anyway. The differences between most of our contemporary monotheistic religions can be attributed almost entirely to entropy of stories which were once — back when these Gods were supposedly walking the Earth — just one tale.

Mars, Earth, Mercury, Jupiter, the Sun and the Galactic Centre are aligned, there's a Full Moon (conjunct Mars), and a Venus-square -Neptune arrangement. Also, the Pluto/Sun conjunction appears exactly on the Winter Solstice. A very interesting galactic alignment event. And there's an interesting biblical/astrological similarity to go with it.
