Random acts of nudity


I love British graphics magazines.Issue 77 of Computer Arts Projects has two pictures of topless women. I can see next months letters section already "how dare you show such filth in"...shut up. Or the always suspect "what if my child".I am so tired of hearing about kids being exposed to this and that. I don't think a naked photo is going to damage anyone. Nor do I think it exploits anyone.

Control of the Internet

Should the US control the internet? On Kojo Nnambi's show today the talk was of the US role in the control of the Internet. I enjoyed the discussion. The second hour was open phones.

Painting


This is a painting I finished yesterday. The red is more of an orange but my Vidster doesn't do the color all that well. But I do love the thing.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!!!!!!!!

Cricket books in Virginia


When I went to McKay's used books and CDs I wasn't thinking about cricket books. I went through the art section found a nice Rolf Harris book. Walked over to the sports section and was very happy and suprised to find books on cricket . McKay's is located in Manasas Virginia which isn't the first place you think of when you think cricket. Anyway I am happy to have bought two books. Play the game:Cricket by Ian Morrison and the really good The Handbook of Cricket by Keith Andrew.

Great WAMU FM Day

Today was a really good day to listen to 88.5 WAMU FM. First Diane Rehm had graphic novelist Charles Burns was on discussing his book Black Hole. I almost bailed out on the interview as the two of them got off to a rough start. I'm glad I didn't because it really turned out to be a good interview. After Diane Kojo Nnamdi talked with mountaineer Arlene Blum about her journey from biochemist to scaling the world tallest peaks.

Cheerleaders gone wild

These two Cheerleaders seem to have lived out a Penthouse Forum story. Not that I would know how those short stories are written.

I backed a winner!!!!!


Tim Kaine(D) defeated Jerry Kilgore(R) for the Govenors office tonight. I am happy. I voted for Kaine but really it was a vote against Bush who showed up yesterday to lend Kilgore support. With friends like that. Anyway not a bad night, even AA voted for him and she is a card carrying member of the evil empire...just kidding some of my best friends are Republican.

Master at work

Walter Murch has three Oscars to his name. So if any of you are interested in film editing you might want to listen to this fine interview with Michele Norris from NPR's All Things Considered.

Do you like Phil Collins?


This is one of my all time favorite CD's. Sure I know it might not be so cool to admit this but I'm comfortable enough with myself to say I both like this record and many of Mr Collins albums. And at $4.49 from the used CD store not a bad purchase I might say.

Out with the old


I finally got a new cell phone. The old one had the worst reception. I hope this is an improvement.

West Indies Going Going...

The Windies are at this moment getting thrashed by Australia. They have fallen so far I don't know if they will ever come back to anything like their former selves. I don't know if other sports have taken the best athletes away from the game.

Lake Fairfax Cricket Ground


It's my day off so after stopping at Borders in Fairfax I went to Lake Fairfax to play cricket. Not really play but practice with myself. I set up my Vidster camcorder and taped myself bowling. There was a cop in the parking lot and I'm sure he was getting the mace ready for me.Looking at the video my action wasn't to bad but my control was hideous. Just like most sporting activities you want to be able to control your actions. The picture is a still from the camcorder.
