Blinfo! (Blog +info)
Hey, So I'm traveling and don't have regular access to a computer/the internet. I also don't have a usb cable for my camera. I promise a plethora of entries next week, but right now things might be a bit sparse.
Where do I get Steampunk trousers?
How cool is this? Obviously Steampunk isn't really practical as far as application to daily life, but the way it embodies a quasi-scifi-machine age look is fascinating. It's interesting how it balances the dirty industrial look with a sense of optimism.
Have you seen the music video for The Smashing Pumpkins' track Tonight Tonight? It's got that same sense of optimism and wonder.
I'm sorta gettin tired of the whole jeans and a tshirt thing. It'd be pretty stylin to incorporate steampunk into my wardrobe. I don't know about you, but I'd totally wear a matching steampunk vest and trousers! I'd have to call them trousers right? Or maybe knickerbockers.
When is King George Next in Iowa?
Check this out! Four religious workers were arrested while attempting to make a citizens arrest on Karl Rove. Sounds like Iowa is a cooler place than I thought. What I love about it is that an 80-year-old retired Methodist minister tried to take Karl Rove into custody. Not to take away from the importance of what they were doing, but can you picture that? There is humor everywhere in the world, you have to just open your eyes to it.
It speaks volumes that a few religious activists have more cojones then all of Congress. It's no wonder that Congress has such low approval ratings - they're a bunch of pansies.
Here's a blurb: "The four maintained that they were acting within the guidelines of Iowa Code that obligate private citizens to make such an arrest if they believe a felony has been committed"
Brilliant.
