OCCUPATION: FOOLE

Meme time, by order of isis_lives :

You are The Fool

The Fool is the card of infinite possibilities. The bag on the staff indicates that he has all he need to do or be anything he wants, he has only to stop and unpack. He is on his way to a brand new beginning. But the card carries a little bark of warning as well. Stop daydreaming and fantasising and watch your step, lest you fall and end up looking the fool.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

Which comes as a surprise to just about no one who’s spent any length of time with me on their f-list.

Fool for you,

CRUISING WITH OBAMA

Glommed from mofus , who stole it from r0b0tafflicti0n:



This is by far the most awesome thing I’ve seen this entire election. It’s probably even better because I have no idea what the original footage is supposed to be from.

I’d vote for Obama on the basis of this GIF alone. Extra points for the “terrorist Frappuccino® jab” that Obama and Hillary do there.

Drinking and driving,

LAST ONE TO LEAVE THE CITY, PLEASE TURN OUT THE LIGHTS

ITEM [via Neatorama]: Web Urbanist has documented seven (7) abandoned cities and places in Asia. Number 1 on the list: the Walled City of Kowloon here in Hong Kong.

 

Yay!

The Walled City is a bit before my time in HK: it was demolished in 1993, about three years before I first landed. But I sort of knew about it from Jackie Chan’s Crime Story and after reading William Gibson’s Idoru, I was sorry I missed it. Granted, it was a lawless shithole by the end, so it’s probably as well, but I’ve been fascinated by ad-hoc urban decay ever since Blade Runner, so sue me.

Of this collection, the Ryugyong Hotel and Pod City of San Zhi are the only other ones I’m familiar with. I’d love to see Pod City up close. The Ryugyong Hotel, not so much, as it would involve going to North Korea, which is probably more trouble than it’s worth.

Nobody’s home,

WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD TOYS GONE?

This will teach me to visit Undead Film Critic right before bedtime.

( The safe word is ... Lego! )

Incidentally, now is as good a time as any to mention that I have a birthday coming up next month.

Not that you have to get me anything. I’m just saying.

That's it, I'm turning off the Internet now.

Plastic fantastic,
