I hope to write a more fun, happy entry later, but I just saw this article in the Times regarding the Supreme Court's decision that the death penalty for the rape of a child is unconstitutional.

[public entry, jigga-whaaa?]

Two things of note:

The sad: George Carlin, 71, has died. I don't really know what to say to this. Hopefully people will stop dying soon??

The amusing (IMO):

I felt like some light-hearted reading and saw this review in the Times (no spoilers, don't worry. Plus, it's Disney. We all know how it ends) and within the article was this little gem about what happened to the human race in 2700 while Wall-E cleans up our mess:

In “Wall-E,” a mega-corporation called Buy n’ Large has transported Earth’s populace to luxury space ships, where the obese human race moves around in robotic loungers, drinking super-size soft drinks, placated by television and robot servants. Environmental disaster; corporate takeover; a global psychological coma: “Wall-E” starts to seem like “An Inconvenient Cartoon.” Yet Mr. Stanton dismisses talk of an allegory.

I. Almost. Died. Laughing.

Two things popped into my mind:

1. I can't laugh this loud at work. *covers mouth*
2. Is it bad that I'm laughing at this?

So here's a poll, just for fun.

Poll #1209550 Wall-E takes on obesity

I'll hopefully have a real update later, but I started this discussion with [info]yellowdartjosh so here's a random philosophical question for you, and my first use of a poll on LJ with my perm account. :P

no regrets )

Well, thanks to [info]zzyzx I finally have a Live Journal. Isn't that great? Now maybe people will actually read my entries since more people know about this place than uJournal. I think...

City beauty is a different sort of beauty. It isn't the soft shimmer of starlight, or the hoot of the owl, or the enormous slice of moon hanging up in the sky, its dome un-wrecked by any single ray of light.

No, this beauty is different. It's a rumbling, tumbling, bustling beauty. It sparkles and shines with artificial light and artificial aesthetics. It explodes with life and vibrancy and excitement and opportunity and intimidation. It is expansive and overwhelming in its beauty. Noisy, disruptive, cacophonous beauty.

It is a new beauty to see, to find, to learn. To write about.
