What’s next

I have perhaps two more posts on the environment in me, one coming up next… and one that’ll be the final version of my Salt article. I’m a bit bored with it anyway. For now.

So, if you want to suggest a new topic for me to think about and write about go for it. I promise it will be as hyperbolic and intolerant as I am capable of.

Also – I am considering writing about singleness. I was single once. Spectacularly so. And I think I’d like to write about it while I can still empathise with those struggling with it now. Plus it’s always topical. Any better ideas?

Full of hot air

The pirate v ninja debate always seems stupid to me. Ninjas could take down a Somali pirate quicker than a US Army sniper could say whatever it is they say before pulling the trigger. But if you have persistently insistent friends you can shut them up with this inflatable duelling pirate and ninja set. Found here.

Let there be blood

If you’ve decked out your bathroom with the previously mentioned bloodstained curtain and bathmat then you’ll no doubt be really keen to get these complementary lamps. They’re not cheap.

Get the party started

Just what you’ve always wanted. A way to turn Russian Roulette into a fun party game. With balloons. It could double as a starters pistol for those allergic to gunpowder and willing to put up with five rounds of uncertainty prior to a race…

Give your room the kiss of life…

Why you’d want this Kiss head in your room pretty much speaks for itself.

But perhaps you’d be more excited if you knew the tongue was a plasma lamp.

Get yours today.

Arty fact

I was once convinced (and probably still am) that that which divides art from the everyday is the frame an artist puts around something. The declaration that it is, in fact, art. Without a declaration the thing is just a thing.

Turn your fruit into art with this revolutionary still life fruit bowl. I would buy one of these. If K-Rudd had given me my money.

Anonenmity

Anonymous comments aren’t much fun for anyone. Unless they’re loaded with unintentionally funny vitriol. I can almost imagine how much fun this comment on Simone’s blog would have been to write. It’s from an old post of hers critiquing a Christian rewrite of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah (which for those of you who are culturally arrogant is the same as Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah and the one on the Shrek Soundtrack). You can hear the Christian rewrite here. You can read the comment in its original context here. And you can indulge in a little bit of voyeurism by checking out Simone’s husband Andrew’s public but thoughtful disagreement with his wife on whether lacking cultural sophistication is sinful here.

Here’s the anonymous comment. Beautiful.

Ok, first of all, you do not know the first thing of what ‘christian’ means if you ever put it in quotes. so dont do it again.
second of all, if someone says “i just want,” you have no idea if that is true or not; just because you are selfish does not mean that everyone is.
lastly, there is no right or wrong in how you listen to music. i mean, that is the stupidest thing ive ever heard! why would there be music if poems would do? i am a recording artist and song composer, so i should know.

Eutychus was a young man who fell to his death because the Apostle Paul preached for too long (Acts 20). I've decided to canonise Eutychus and make him the patron saint of my dalliances around the Internet.
