It is pretty awesome that Wes Anderson made his short film Hotel Chevalier (the companion piece to The Darjeeling Limited) available for free download.

Hi Daryl
This is massively OT, but I'm sure you've heard of the online petition to the PM to repeal the law criminalising gay sex. If you haven't, it's at http://www.repeal377a.com and the petition closes on October 19.
I'm sure you don't need telling that this law is discriminatory and damaging. Besides subjecting gays to a life of uncertainty and fear, it impedes effective sex education and HIV/AIDS outreach, making it not just a moral issue but a public health one.
It would be great if you could sign the petition, and also if you could publicise the URL by any means that are convenient for you - email to friends, instant messenging, blog post, and the like. Every single signature counts towards proving that the people of Singapore do not oppose equality and dignity for gays, and insisting that the government does not suppress them in our name.
Please consider helping. Anything at all would be appreciated.
This New York Times article on 50 Cent's life in the sleepy suburb of Farmington, Conn. , is quite wry - But a cook at China Palace said Mr. Jackson could save 10 percent on any order over $30... Ah, the privileges of fame... 10% off Chinese takeout! For the party, Mr. Jackson ordered more than $5,000 worth of liquor, including "a lot of Baccardi," according to the owner of a Farmington liquor store who spoke on the condition of anonymity "to protect his privacy." Sipping Bacardi (ooh, caught a Times misspelling) like it's his birthday. How anonymous could a liquor store owner in a suburban town be? It's not like there're hundreds of liquor stores in the town, I'm guessing. I like how they keep referring to him as Mr. Jackson...
I've just discovered Puptastic , another dog blog, and learnt the following disturbing facts: 1. The dog most likely to eat you when you're dead is the Dachshund. Beware the hot dog! 2. Some people look a lot like their dogs . A lot. But only if they own pedigrees . Actually, I've heard about this study for a long time - it made its rounds on the Net a while back. It's a selection thing. Anyway, the post had a link to pictures of what they claimed was a "I Look Like My Dog" contest (urban legend alert - I think it's more likely to be just a series of regular Cesar ads), including this one: Update: some quick Googling shows that the idea that this is a dog-resemblance contest is almost certainly not true. Presumably the "winners of the 'I Look Like My Dog' contest line was meant to be facetious, but people have taken it seriously. In reality, these were ads done by ALMAP/BBDO Sao Paulo that won some Gold awards at the 2000 Cannes Lions ( thi
