"our relationship is based on affection and EVIL"
Sunday, 8 April 2007 08:46 pmI approve of Easter Sundays, or at least of those Easter Sundays which entail hanging around all day on jo&stv's deck, drinking champagne and orange juice, hunting chocolate in the garden, eating waffles and watching jo leap into the pool repeatedly with all her clothes on. As a result of heat/booze I have another thundering hell-headache, but it was worth it.
Interesting Cultural Thingy 1: when I checked our postbox for B5 yesterday, I found in it the following bit of paper - clearly photocopied from a hand-written original, and with absolutely no advertising, contact details or anything bar the message itself.
The issue itself is the paranoid-conspiracy paraben scare about carcinogens in deodorant, which seems to be based on one particular study which has been both misunderstood and blown out of proportion. That aside, it fascinates me that someone should feel so strongly about the issue that they'd go to the lengths of flooding our postboxes with DIY dead-tree spam, with absolutely nothing in it for themselves other than the satisfaction of instruction.
Interesting Cultural Thingy 2:this amazing Washington Post article. I don't know if I'd actually recognise a virtuoso violinist playing in a subway, since I don't much enjoy solo violin, but I'd like to think so. Either way, the response is amazingly telling about cultural construction of value. Nicely written and analysed article, too.
I am now taking my headache off to bed. B5 is at T-4, expectation is high. And the subject-line quote, naturally is from jo&stv, more particularly jo. Also, phone still dead, so don't phone us on the landline until probably Tuesday lunchtimeish.
