France got 3 outs, Are we going to let them beat us like that?

Its exciting that the world is rallying behind the first international Interactive Torch Relay.

I am rooting for Team America on this one, I certainly think that we can extinguish the torch more than three times. I will be watching news all day wednesday, And as a bonus round I would absolutley love to see the Olympic torch given to protestors, hopefully some group that supports human rights and freedom, someone who deserves the torch and will mount it properly in their barefoot bohemian bungalow.

I particularly liked the details image above.
1. GOOAAAAAAAALLLLL! 1 point France!
2. Celebrity Lookalikes: Dane Cook always looks a little confused, but did France thank President Vladimir Putin for the Cameo?
3. The French sure do have some cool body armor, which probably comes from government supporting their peoples activism.

Below is the list of all of the torch bearers as it makes its way through the San Fransisco on Wednesday, I tracked it down hoping on the off chance I may know someone here who could help make my bonus round come true, Sadly I do not.

Protesting Protestors

I know this should probably be over on my propaganda blog.. but I quite like the creative (and peaceful) ambition of these strike-busters!

They are often obliged to infiltrate or counter-protest the more ‘mainstream’ protests of hypocritical shrimp-eaters who call themselves Christians.

Things that made me smile.

great font
We were sitting in PIE by the Pound (around Union Square), I picked up an old copy of Australian Vogue Living, and I feel in love with this font! What is this? It’s fun and elegant. It looks very similar to Fertigo, a recent download of mine, but not quite. If anyone knows the name of this font and where I can find it, please let me know.

Bumble and Bumble Model Project
Bumble and Bumble called me, clear out of the blue, on Tuesday, to tell me they had had some cancellations in their Model Project, and if I wanted to come in that night. This is something I’ve participated in a number of times and it has always been a fun experience. I don’t understand why anyone in this city would pay for a haircut when something like this is available. This time, I walked away with my favorite results to date!

The beauty of them iMacs
Funny story about computer confiscation in Denmark
This made me do a little more than smile… it damn near brought me to tears I was laughing so hard! Might be a little geeky, but for those of you who hold those bubbly iMacs close to your heart will appreciate this.
