louise on the left (coast)

Freelance artist  Justin Majeczky  shot this  beautiful time-lapse of the milky way  as seen in the night sky over Lake Tahoe.

Usually, I do this the other way around. I complain another annoying tv commercial has ruined my favorite song, however this time Honda smoked my sense of musical superiority with Heypenny's "Parade. "

You thought this was Steve, right?  "Steve Burns" from Blue's Clues? Ha.  Well, it's not.  It never was.  Meet the real Steve. Steve is all grown up.  I mean,   all grown up and, boy, is he deep. Check out The Moth presents Steve Burns: Fameishness   which oddly depresses me although  I can't quite figure out why, yet. Is it... A.)  Because he's not really talking to the that kid (Me?  My kids?) inside the camera anymore? B.)  Because he really is that bald? C.)  Because he let animators pressure him into allowing Snookie do a lap dance on the Big Red Chair? D.)  He makes fun of the mail dance?  (Do NOT dis the "Mail's Here" dance.) E.)   The real Steve is gloomier than  Holden Caulfield  in Catcher in the Rye? F.)   All of the above. Yeah.  It's "F."  Duh. Isn't it bad enough our own kids have to grow up?  or do we also have to witness Steve go bald and wear glasses, too?    Ho
