"If you can link a problem with earning money or saving money, it stands a much greater of getting resolved quickly. If a street lamp is visible from an aeroplane, half of the money spent to illuminate the street is wasted, going out into space. So put a reflective cover over the lamp and half the wattage of the bulb. Energy is saved, money is saved, astronomers can see- and the public gets to drink in the majesty of the night sky"

Astrophysicist Neil De Grasse Tyson, speaking about light pollution in the 10th April edition of new Scientist. I've never seen the problem and the solution to this problem encapsualted so well.

...the third man says nothing, smoking his cigarette as though it's part of his search for enlightenment.

...girls who leaned sexily as though auditioning for parts in a play ... traded pocket mirrors, lipsticking themselves like four year-olds determined to crayon one spot to a waxy patch.

he then made a fist, signifying --she supposed-- strength. ...she nodded as though she understood, though she felt she never would. things simply made all of them cry and sigh. things dredged from the bottoms of their souls brought them pain at the strangest moments.

ha! that reminds me - opinions are like gold chains, everybody has one -- truck


everybody wants to get backstage, backstage must be all of the rage, but backstage is just like turning another page, in a book you just want to throw out the window, backstage.

you bribed yourself out of a place in the sun, but you had some change to spare, so you said you wanna spend it on me, and shook the blues out of your hair. such a beautiful way to break your heart. such a beautiful way to break my heart.

i'll feed you fruit that don't exist. i'll leave graffiti where you've never been kissed. i'll do your laundry, massage your soul. i'll turn you over to the highway patrol.

engineer, slow down this old train. cinders and chaff, laugh at the moon. night birds will cackle, rotting like apples on trees, sending their dead melodies to me.

tongues tied under the moon, my love is a room of broken bottles and tangled webs ...won't you lay my bags upon on the funeral fire and sing it again.
