"Vice? Virtue? It's best not to be too moral. You cheat yourself out of too much life. Aim above morality. As Confucius says, "Don't simply be good. Make good things happen."

Advertising on Toilet Paper

|link| Good grief, when will marketers just figure out that enough is enough? Is nothing sacred? Why would I want to wipe my butt with advertisements? It reminds me of using newspaper as a kid in Mexico. Ew.

Q! Welcome to Hollywood…

It’s been a while since we had a question of the week. This was suggested by Mookee, who loves movie quotes. “Welcome to Hollywood! What’s your dream?”

Topless in California

|link| In an effort for equal rights under the law, a Bill will soon be introduced to the CA Legislature to remove women’s bare breasts from discrimination. Currently women who go topless could be registered as sex offenders along with rapists and pedophiles. Considering some of the man-breasts I’ve seen flopping around America, I’m suprised this is even an issue though the proposed law does have its detractors.

The Weather in Athens

|link| This poor guy. He’s trying to do the weather and, well, not doing so well. This is probably a class from my Alma Mater. That poor, sad man.

Reduced Movie Ticket Prices!

|link| Unfortunately only in Ontario, but it is a start. One of the many reasons I only see two or three movies in the theater these past several years is the idiotic cost of buying a ticket. If I want a snack then I could be spending $20 just for the privelege of seeing a movie with crying babies and teens text messaging each other. Instead I’ve been waiting a few months and *buying* the DVD (with the extras) and watching it at home with friends.

Despite the irritations, though, there is something very nice about seeing a movie in the theater, and I hope these reduced prices filter into theaters here. I might even see four or five movies!

Currently two cities are featured: Dhaka in Bengladesh and Caracas in Venuzuela. Dhaka sounds very crowded and Caracas sounds like it’s on the verge of civil war… Learn how local architects deal with these situations and more.
