apoplectic



There are portions of American popular culture that make me apoplectic!
What was McDonalds thinking? Has polling revealed that 95% of their customers read at a third grade level?

"my kinda shoppin' spree, i'm lovin' it"

Indeed. Makes me want to bomit.


On the west coast for a wedding. I am a tourist! As McDonald's might say:

takin' turist pikchures, lovin' it


I'd like to blast up the coast and photograph the redwoods but my rented auto sounds like it has a worn rod bearing. Knocking noises under the hood. Not willing to break down, so I am staying put.


Staying in Oakland, rode the ferry into San Fransisco yesterday and took pictures of other tourists. I'd love to live in SF for a year. The quality of the light is breath taking plus I like taking pictures in fog.


Wireless network in the hotel is down, uploading via cellphone. Stomped on the images a bit more than usual using Adobe's "Image Ready."

Hope the Lord Buddha keeps all these Bay Area residents calm and in place. Can you imagine if these people had a hurricane Katrina and moved East. Eeekkk. There goes quality of life in the Rappahannock watershed.

Er...what Michael said! Plus:

- The sloganeering infecting Mickey D's is merely a continuation of what I call HOPS (Hooked On Phonics Syndrome). Rather than tackle illiteracy head-on, it's more interesting (read: cost-effective) to embrace post-literate society (when it's not being blamed all on those danged permissive liberals), and adopt it as yet another cynical marketing tool.

And, yeah, I did watch too many Ingrid Bergman pictures in my youth. Wanna make something of it? ;-)

P.S. Good pics.
