Flippant Friday: A most serious debate has been settled.

[sabotabby]

This being, of course, the matter of the papasan chair that, while clearly belonging to Miss L., was appropriated and collectivized for the masses* by Chairman Marinetti.








Apropos of nothing:

• Your eyes don't deceive you -- this is actually the best icon ever. Thanks, groovitude!
• I had "The Company Store" by Greg MacPherson running through my head all day, despite someone's efforts to earworm me with something else. Anyone ever heard that song? I can't stop humming it. I blame Chez Newfie.
• I found a hidden stash of Mao stuff, including what seemed to be a Mao valentine, on my way back from work today. They had a Little Red Book that was about the size of my pinkie. Squee!
• On a more somber note, my clever plan to ask Ward Churchill out for a beer tomorrow night has been foiled by the long arm of the law. He's back in court and can't leave the country.

And I'm still deathly ill. Ick.

* And when I say "masses," I am referring to the size of his bum.

I doubt there are many people in Toronto (outside of the activist scene, that is) who would be particularly gunning for him. He's far more notorious in the US than he is here.

Anyway, I don't even know if he drinks beer. I just figured I'd ask, because I'd one day like to add getting plastered with Ward Churchill to my list of dubious accomplishments.

I have chilled and talked to Ward before. He is kind of stiff, and not as friendly as other speakers. Where on Spadina lady? I must see, I must see! Did you buy anything good? $45 for the Little Red Book is outrageous! For something that used to be distributed for free, $45 is quite a value appreciation. Talk about commodity fetishism. Mao and Lin Piao would be rolling in their respective graves. Speaking of graves I really hope you get to see embalmed Lenin. What did they do to embalmed Stalin?

[sabotabby]

Stalin is buried next to the Kremlin walls. I'm not sure if Lenin's currently on display, but I'll find out.

sounds like a perfectly fine goal to me.
Oh, those kitties are too fer cutes! Do you get to stay at at home snuggly kitties while you are sick?

[sabotabby]

Yep, but they're not very snuggly this morning. I put down a nice rug that I just had cleaned in the living room, and they're rolling all over it trying to cover it with fur again.
