Star Wars: Designer Edition. I love this! I’ve got the AT-AT as my desktop wallpaper. I’m also a fan of the new Millennium Falcon. (Link courtesy of usr/bin/girl.)

Gold
The gold industry is reportedly “fighting back against a consumer preference for other precious metals.” Personally, I just think that gold is a bit… old, you know? It reminds me of old ladies. Platinum and silver just seem a bit younger and more modern. (The only thing gold I wear is my class ring, and that’s just because it was the tradition at my school.) Didn’t Audrey Hepburn say that she couldn’t wear gold until she was forty or something in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”?

Classical buskers
With everything, there are trade-offs. Sure, they’re putting open-air urinals in Trafalgar Square. But they’re also licensing classical musicians as buskers to play in Tube Stations. Maybe civilisation isn’t quite in the toilet just yet.

Ebert
Eeb’s definitely got me excited to see “Moulin Rouge”. (Well, I was already pretty excited, given that Ewan McGregor plays a lovestruck poet who sings Madonna songs, but at least now I can back up my enthusiasm with a critical review.) He also liked “A Knight’s Tale”, which every other critic has been crapping on left and right. If Eeb says it’s okay, I’ll give it a look.
