Trophy Wine - Day 5

Not a happy bunny.

Trophy Wine - Day 4

Sorry, mind's gone blank, can't think of a single comment.

Trophy Wine - Day 3

Aha! The Size 13s make their appearance.

 I'm pretty sure either Vincent or the writers knew the heart-fluttering this scene would be for the Vixens.

Tragic Loss

About an hour ago I heard from Alex's mum that he died last night. After successfully fighting everything that could be thrown at him, he succombed to that fucking bastard norovirus.

Alex believed in a deity, and I hope for his sake that a kind god was waiting for him.

Alex Hunt, 12-5-93 to 19-12-12
Rest in peace, sweet boy

Trophy Wine - Day 2

I suppose he could get more handsome. Don't know how, though.

Trophy Wine - Day 1

Shoot me, Diane - but I think the psych session was the best part of this one - apart from the Size 13 sequence.

This is quite a pleasing shot, though.

One tragedy of many

I'm sure none of us thinks the gun lobby will really let there be any change in the gun laws in the US. After all, why shouldn't everyone have the right to own assault rifles and automatic weapons?

I must say that I don't agree with those who say this is the single most important thing for Obama to achieve in this period in office. What is the point is saving lives that will ultimately be lost to the earth being ravaged by global warming, something no politicians anywhere seem to want to deal with as the matter of urgency anyone can see whose only axe to grind is the future of the planet, rather than growth, consumption and making money.

What will be the point of all their money when there's no planet to spend it in? Even the children of the rich will be condemned to suffer with every other creature on the planet, and their parents will be sure to make it all happen sooner because of their self-seeking attempts to deny any of it is really happening.

Happy Christmas...

Last Street In Manhattan - Day 11

Sorry, ran out of posts without realising.

Thought I'd finish up this episode with Bobby with a shock of pink hair.

Last Street in Manhattan - Day 10

Forget Eames' dad, look at Bobby's pose!

Last Street In Manhattan - Day 9

Now Bobby looks angry. He needs a cuddle even more.

Last Street In Manhattan - Day 8

Bobby needs a hug.

Last Street In Manhattan - Day 7

Bobby agonises in his own inimitable way.

Last Street In Manhattan - Day 6

Bobby's looking a bit stern with Eames. What's the naughty girl done?

Mini Monster

Today I finally saw the new female tiger at London Zoo today. She's adorable - and really tiny!





Best thing about her was the look she gave to the hordes of child visitors. I felt the same way, Melati!

Last Street In Manhattan - Day 5

Don't you just love seeing those arms straining against the jacket sleeves?

Last Street In Manhattan- Day 4

So distinguished in his white shirt and tie.

So distinguished without them...

Last Street In Manhattan - Day 3

Bobby is auditioning for Mr Handsome Hunk 2011, 2012 and every year from now to eternity.

Last Street In Manhattan - Day 2

Mmmm. Not stunt claw but could be a stunt hand. The nails are a bit clipped, the thumb may not be curved enough, but the wrist looks right.

What does everyone else think?

Trapped!

The gas man was late this morning, shortly before 8am, because of bad traffic. I thought no more about it till I was on my way out of the house just after 11am to drive to the pet store to stock up on heavy supplies. He told me there was an accident down on the main road, and the traffic was backed up. So I drove the other way along the street, only to meet with a row of cars that had got stck after using my road as a "short cut". I turned round and went back home.

By 1.30 I was sure it must be all cleared up, and left the hosue again, only to witness car after car whizz past me, obviously still trying to find a way out of the jam. I went back in. Luckily I am not in dire need of these supplies. But it feels really horrible to be imprisoned in your street for such a long time.

I hate to think how bad things must have been for the poor souls involved in the accident.

Last Street In Manhattan - Day 1

Bobby doesn't look down on anyone - unless they are dead.
