LIGHTS!!!

Oh yeah, anybody else love the title of the new James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, or that it's directed by Marc Forster, the guy behind Kite Runner and Monster's Ball?

Noel Coward: Mad Dogs & Englishmen

This was during his surprisingly lucrative Vegas days, where he fled when strapped for cash. I definitely want to come back in the next life as a temperamental, cocky, gay British guy.

(And I never did get to see the Noon-Day Gun, dammit.)

Uh oh.

From UrbanDictionary.com:

Murderland

A nickname for the state, Maryland. The hood places in MD are Baltimore City aka Bodymore, PG County, and some specific places in Mo County or other places. (mainly the DC area)

Tyree: "Yo im movin back to Murderland nigga!"
John: "oh forreal? where in Murdaland, B-more?"
Tyree: "Nah, Takoma Park."

Murderware!

Found this in a frou-frou antique shop north of Salisbury. Want your dinner plates to look like they arrived fresh from the scene of a chainsaw slaying?

Breakfast at the Clutter house! Awesome!

I Dream of Janinie

Actually, I didn't last night. For some reason, I was smooching with (alleged!) lesbian talk show host Rachel Maddow, who after the Young Turks sign off in a couple of weeks will be the only thing worth listening to on Air America radio. Maybe it was my way of saying thanks. I told Janine about it this morning, and I would have told her it didn't mean anything, but y'know, it probably did. I'll have to look up infidelity with progressive radio hosts in a dream interpretation book.

Meanwhile, we're chilling with Janine's family on the Eastern Shore for the rest of the week. Hope everyone had a great New Year!
