So dragons ARE real….
Well, ok, not really, but it is a pretty cool promotion/publicity stunt for Game of Thrones. I wish one of these would “wash up” on Plum Island or something. I would drive up there just to get my picture with it.

P.S. Yes, this story is a couple of weeks old, but I didn’t get a chance to post anything about it until now. So nyah.
I think it is safe to say that the march of human rights has made steady though inconsistent progress over the last 100+ years. In the last 48 hours some interesting stories have popped up that have reminded me not only of how far we’ve come but also of how far we have to go.
I have never heard of this particular species of turtle before, but there’s something strangely appropriate about a turtle from the Lone Star State being called a Texas cooter.

Well, looks like Boston broke another record today. The official temperature reached 99 degrees Fahrenheit, although Basil (our Mini) insists that it was higher than that.
So today is day six of our ridiculous heat wave here in Boston, and tomorrow is supposed to be day seven. Fortunately this sort of heat is quite abnormal for Boston, and it should return to usual 80 something degree temperatures by Sunday. We have had both of our AC units running, plus all of our fans, and it is just barely enough to make it tolerable.
I am definitely ready for fall to get here. I was more enthusiastic about summer when it meant I got to do lots of fun things, but these days fun tends to be a bit limited and I prefer comfortable temperatures. Hell, I even prefer cold winter temperatures to this.

Slowly.
I have to admit that the Texas Anti-Woman Law and the Zimmerman verdict coming within hours of one another made me really unhappy with humanity for a while. Then there was the announcement that The View was hiring Jenny McCarthy to fill its patented Obnoxious Vapid Contentious Blond Host seat.
That about did me in. How does somebody like her get paid $$$ to sit on TV and spew that dangerous crap when Geoff and I are working constantly, are far smarter and funnier, and we’re barely making ends meet?

I have some shows coming up. This weekend and next I’ll be vending at ASSEMBLED and SLAM respectively. It should, hopefully, be a nice weekend so come on out this weekend and see me out by the Mystic River. Next weekend I’ll be in Davis square while Artbeat is going on so there will be lots to see.
Clickie to embiggen the graphics.
I have new stuff and a bunch of new vintage things on offer. Hope to see you there!

Some of these have been kicking around on my hard drive for a while and I think it’s time they come out to play. Some of them are just too good to keep to myself.

Last week Teri and I found ourselves in the position of needing some things for the office. I made a shopping list and on Monday she did the ordering. Buying office supplies is one of the things I’ve never minded about the various administrative jobs I’ve had, it’s shopping with someone else’s money.
Anyway, who was more surprised than the two of us when we discovered that one of our usual vendors, the one that happened to have the best prices this time, was having a rather odd Gift With Purchase. A casserole dish.

We did this back in April with the Boston Strong memes and as we’ve blogged about this here and here, it’s time to do it again.
We give you, Ding, Dong! DOMA is Dead! memes.
