Coffee

Tuesday, June 4th, 2013

Lying in bed at night thinking about the coffee I’ll have in the morning.

Global warming will soon cause a massive decline in coffee production. Since coffee grows in hill areas at a specific altitude and with specific water needs, as conditions get hotter and drier, plantations can’t simply be moved uphill. They will become disused and yield will quickly fall. Will we be fighting over coffee?

The Seekers Stage Set Design

Beautiful. Why are things so overdone now? This was a great set. 1968, BBC, London.

Voice from my childhood, though when I hear Ed Asner’s voice I hear him as Lou Grant from the Mary Tyler Moore Show.

Mary Richards: Mr. Grant, I just can’t thank you enough.
Lou Grant: You may have a point there.

this party just took a turn for the douche

Thursday, April 18th, 2013

Went to a bar tonight that used to be great, a neighbourhood bar in the old Arts Club Theatre. What happened? 14 sports TV screens happened, a contempo remodel, and all the clientele that comes with that stuff. This town just took a turn for the douche.
