Strange Little Planet

Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you that doing this blog has become a bit of a chore. In any case, I’ll be taking a hiatus until at the most next September, at the least…well, I dunno. Maybe in a month or two when I’m not so busy with non-computer things. As soon as the fall kicks in I figure I’ll be back. In the meantime, my other, non-daily blogs will still be running:

Have a great summer, get off tumblr, get outside!

THIS IS WRONG. We have to get this outlawed. So cruel :(

People are carrying around pet fish & reptiles on their keyrings, phones, etc in China (and possibly other places). That means these poor things are being carried around, tossed in someones purse, dangling and swirling around when people carry them CONSTANTLY. Not to mention these imprisoned animals are left in these pouches without oxygen or food so they only get to live for only a few days, if they’re lucky. The most depressing part is that the whole thing is legal.

Come on people, really? Go get a freakin tamagotchi or something!

this is so disgusting.

Again with the animal cruelty, China.

Occasions of desire with their attendant envies,
the white heat of the cold swan dying,
create their gestures, obscene or most beautiful.
Oh, the clear shell of a swan’s fluted wings!

And as the old swan calls clarity from dark waters,
sailing triumphant into the forgotten,
desire in its moving is that rapacious cry,
gorgeous as the torrent Lethe, and as wise.

And if the curl of cygnets on the Avon,
so freshly broken from their perfect shells,
take from a dying bird not moral nor enticement,
but float with their own white mother, that is just.
Oh, imperious innocence to envy
only the water bearing such beauty!
