Cock Climbing
I apologize for the title but I had to. See, a friend sent me this link and the title describes it to the tee. A wall full of illuminated condoms fully erect. Don't turn away tho, there's artistic merit here. It's just one of many pieces on display at the "Sex in Design/Design in Sex" exhibition. Everything from dildos, butt plugs, to very unique urinals. Where might one see this? At the Museum of Sex in New York City of course.
Thanks Jeff!

Icy Hell, No He Didn't!
The Bush administration failed to meet deadlines to place polar bears under environmental protection. BUT they did have time to approve a new bill that would allow oil drilling in polar bear habitats. Coincidence?
This man and his administration are maddening! Help by writing to your state representative. All you have to do is fill out a form and hit send.

El Orphanato
Guillermo del Toro's "El Orphanato" (The Orphanage) is one of the finest modern ghost stories I've seen. Without spoiling the movie, he manages to craft a suspense thriller without the use of big special effects. It's all in the camera work, music, and timing which is why he's a brilliant producer/director. El Orphanato is definitely this year's Pans Labyrinth. It's in limited release but if you have the chance, please go see it.

Bush Admin Removes Enviro Protection, Approves Logging
It's sad but true. The Bush Administration is busy working back door deals to remove environmental protection laws over Oregon's Old Growth Forest to the tune of a 700% increase in logging if passed. The forests are OLD and some trees are ANCIENT. They've been there long before humans even settled in Oregon. They not only add to the natural majestic beauty of Oregon but provide shelter for many animals and natural flood protection.
It's disappointing to know all that money could be spent on educating the public about recycling and building new sustainable facilities to support new industries but I guess with the Bush Administration, stuffing coffers is more important.
Take action now and watch this video.

Adopt Me A Misio
I'm interested in this new project called Misio which asks you to adopt a crochet doll complete with his/her own name and bio. The idea is you as the parent document Misio's travels akin to the whole travel gnome thing and post it to the Misio website. The community of Misio parents, whom are from all around the world, can see where all the Misios have been.
It costs $60 to adopt and there are only a handful left. Will someone adopt one for me? I'd love to have a Misio to take on adventures.
