David Lynch is Fishing!

Battle of the Natsu-yasumi - Fumio Nabata



While I do believe in meditation, I take issue with Lynch on this push towards the Maharishi guru thing. There are many routes and I prefer focusing on fish, compost piles, shit, farts and pig ears - with an occasional tea ceremony.

Some Guy's Concept of Feminine Beauty

Weird site of the month: Feminine Beauty.
Erik Holland finds the formless facial structure of an adolescent girl (other than Dasha featured above) more appealing than the "masculine" facial structure favored by the gay domination of the fashion business.
(My dogs are going nuts so I'll have to continue this post a bit later...)
His anti-anorexia message seems admirable, but why is it accompanied with this? What’s up with all the porn links anyway? Many of his examples of "feminine beauty" included silicone engineered bodies.
In summary, he can go fuck himself.

Could Dasha even have a "masculine" jaw problem...?

In other news, I've been enjoying PukeyPuke's Casey raps like the latest one:

26 PukeyPuke on August 29, 2008 said:

Look ma it’s Casey on the teevee
What’s he doing what does he see?
Writing a book without much substance
Does this qualify towards his allowance?
Mommy mommy I don’t understand
Why this Casey thinks he is somekind of brand
He ain’t no coke and he ain’t no apple
Why is so hard for him to grapple
It don’t make sense why he’s not working hard
Now all of a sudden he’s some kind of bard
Writing a book nobody will buy
It’s getting too much makes haterz wanna sigh

Mommy mommy who is this Casey
When I grow up will I be that spacey?
Casey says you are brainwashing me
Mommy mommy hear my plea
Can I be like Casey living with glee
Doing nothing and getting some scratch
Even let me grow one of those soul patch

Sonny boy you won’t make much money
Look very closely and you’ll see something funny
He’s wearing a shirt begging for donations
He’s calling it sponsorship I call it aberration
You will never get by in life being lazy
Can’t you see he’s certifiably crazy?
Pretending to be in business is not so smart
Pretty soon he’ll be pushing a cart
Homeless and lonely and begging for change
It’s pretty damn sad it’s pretty damn strange
He can’t see it he’s very deluded
A ustream video and an e-book included
You will never succeed following that example
Wait right here I’ll get you a sample
Disney and Ford and even Donald Trump
They work real hard they were never a chump
Well maybe the Donald but he had what it took
To succeed in life with a vision and hard work
Casey you see will never get the clues
He’s to busy selling this businessman ruse
Never grow up to be like him
If you do I will you’ll need to learn to swim
The waters are filled with piranhas and sharks
They’ll leave you bloodied and feeling around in the dark
These gurus and seminars will take your mind
Warp it, bend it leave you in a bind
You won’t ever think for yourself
Put common sense and reason on the shelf
That ain’t no way for any son of mine to live
But it’s up to you to you so I hope you forgive
I don’t ever want this to come to be
So please please don’t be like Casey

This morning I'm enjoying a quite refreshing Lupicia grapefruit green tea.

Tea Party

Tea Party III by ~xmansonx

Not exactly the sort of tea party I had in mind, but the combination of tea, fishnets, guns and cats in this image was compelling (see I'm not an arugula loving, elitist SF Bay Area snob!).

Anyway, I returned to this incredible tea shop in Chinatown today and was reminded once again of how impressive their tea is. Yes, I spent far more money on it than I would prefer, but tea lasts – especially Blest Tea. I’m still enjoying a bag I bought over 6 months ago. They haven’t been around much longer than that, but finally have a “web site”: http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/blesttea
I highly recommend the Honey Green and Milk Oolong.


This afternoon I was happy to discover my tea fortune was Buddha.

Speaking of delicious, I really enjoyed this Tie Guan Yin tea this morning and this is mostly a note to self to order some more.

Teapot Worshipping Cult

Tea Fairy by *Cinnamoncandy

A sharia court in Malaysia jailed a woman for joining a "tea-pot worshipping" cult.

Kamariah Ali, a 57 year old former teacher, was arrested in 2005 when the government of the Muslim majority country demolished the two storey high sacred tea pot and other infrastructure of the "heretical" Sky Kingdom cult.

For the eccentric sect, which emphasised ecumenical dialogue between religions, the tea pot symbolized the purity of water and "love pouring from heaven".

But in Malaysia, despite constitutional guarantees of freedom of worship, born Muslims such as Mrs Ali are forbidden from converting to other religions.

Passing sentence, the Sharia judge Mohammed Abdullah said: "The court is not convinced that the accused has repented and is willing to abandon any teachings contrary to Islam. I pray God will open the doors of your heart, Kamariah."

Mrs Ali has already been jailed once for apostasy, for 20 months in 1992.

"This has to stop. They can’t be sending her again and again to prison for this," her lawyer, Sa'adiah Din, told reporters.

My Koi for Now

Our Lady of Highway Beautification

The current Scrapiteria collage theme is goddesses and I found Our Lady of Highway Beautification particularly amusing.

Given my fondness for tea I also appreciated Doris - Goddess of Tea.

In traffic related art I also liked this Interthinker illustration by Valero Doval via Las insólitas aventuras del pez .

Haiku for the koi by ~shadowcatv10

Japan is famous for its beautiful ponds stocked with colorful "Koi" carp - a close relative of the common goldfish. Some breeders are now moving beyond Koi to create even more unusual types of goldfish including scaleless, pearlescent varieties!
