Light Relief

An harrowing morning in the book trade. It's high speed mental paper-cuts and salt to the wound stuff. Which is why I thought we might take a look at some funny pictures and pretend that the world is, as I have dreamed in the past, 4 parts fairy floss and 3 parts holidays.



This is a famous actor dressed up as a famous character pulling a famous expression which means 'hang on... maybe things aren't all as they seem'. Which is also how I feel looking at the picture. Was this a movie I missed?



This is an illustration of someone about to pick a fight with physics. I respect that enormously.



And finally, this is the fruit of my 'South American Toupee' google search at 2am this morning. I had planned to do a 'Political Leaders of South America: Toupee or not Toupee?' post, but was waylaid looking at the Kirchners and Alvaro Uribe. Then I couldn't remember who I thought had the toupee, and figured that the idea was only good for a blog, which I already had, given the quality shot of the dog in the toupee and its inherent blogability. So I collapsed into a deep sleep in which I forgot to feed the dog (worse still, just before he went camping without saying goodbye AND he forgot his little raincoat) and woke up shaking with guilt and confusion.

God, it's hot.
