Old gold! Lasagna Cat is one of those sites that never leaves you. I bookmarked this site and not just to my bookmarks folder, it went straight onto my bookmarks tool bar, along with my everyday bookmarks like, Internet banking, Email, Facebook and GOOP (that’s a joke). I don’t know what or why Lasagna Cat is, and in a lot of ways, that’s not important.
Victoria F. Gaitán’s baroque flesh and blood still lifes
My friend Victoria F. Gaitán decorates her portrait subjects with meat or blood or candy to create intimidating baroque flesh and blood still lifes.

Incredible 3D animation by Jonathan Monaghan
My latest series, Metropolitan, explores imagery associated with wealth and secretive power. A former Vanderbilt estate is blackened and decorated with regalia while the Alibi club comprising Washington DC’s most powerful men takes on the properties of fabric, gently blowing in the wind. It’s an ongoing series that happens to be quite relevant at the moment.

The historical Old South Meeting House Clock has been restored in Boston. It’s been running since the Boston Tea Party and the Boston Massacre. Craftsman David Webb took part in the rebuilding of the clock that is a big piece in the history of Boston.
The Middle East Club, Cambridge
If you happen to find yourself in the trendy Harvard Square area in Cambridge with a hot date and nowhere to go, then you should head down to The Middle East Club. Not only does it own the restaurant ZuZu next door, but head past the perfect mural on the wall and downstairs or upstairs, and you’ll witness great live performances from indie bands, jazz bands, electro bands, you name it, all filled with college aged peeps to cool and wise thirty-somethings.
Banditos Misteriosos, an urban improv group similar to Improv Everywhere, is scheduled to have one of the largest water gun fights ever in Boston on August 22, expecting more than last year’s 300 people. Anyone can enlist and fight for the cause, which no one actually knows.

Having originally sprung from the Shaky Isles (otherwise known as New Zealand), I can appreciate the humour in the New Zealand cartoon series, Bro Town, the first homegrown animated series to screen during local prime time. It’s simply brilliant, a real play on the ‘thuck’ accent and small town ways of our Kiwi brethren.
For a lark, I spent last night cruising Worth Street in West Palm Springs, Florida, the longest, cleanest, most deserted street I’ve ever seen, which is jammed with a string of high-class stores, flogging everything from travel jewellery (for the terrified billionaire), to sweaters and blazers in every colour imaginable. That’s right, who said The Rich had poor taste?
