Dog’s Breakfast

August 30th, 2008 · No Comments

We decided to try a new cafè for breakfast this week, and Monza on Oxford St in Leederville looked good. We ordered coffees and our meal, and after about half an hour decided to enquire how far away our breakfast was. The waiter then asked if he could take our order again because it had been lost, so we decided to leave and headed to our usual cafè- Cranked.

Phyllis Lyon, 79, left, and Del Martin, 83, right, look at each other after being married at city hall.

UPDATE: The New York Times has an obituary on Del

I am saddened to hear of the passing away of Del Martin, the lesbian activist who was instrumental in pioneering same-sex marriage rights in California who along with her wife Phyllis Lyon became the first same-sex couple to be married in the state of California, both in 2004 and again in 2008. My thoughts are with Phyllis.

Martin and Lyon were married at San Francisco City Hall on June 16. Mayor Gavin Newsom, who officiated the wedding, singled them out to be the first gay couple to legally exchange vows in the city, in recognition of their long relationship and their status as gay-rights pioneers. “[She was someone who] defined, love, devotion, and constancy. She defined, from my perspective, what marriage is supposed to be about.” said Newsom

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, of San Francisco, said Del and Phyllis were instrumental in getting gay marriage legalised. We would not have marriage equality in California if it weren’t for Del and Phyllis. They fought and triumphed in many battles,” Pelosi said. “Through it all, their love and commitment to each other was an inspiration to all who knew them.”

Microminiature Art

August 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment

The artist works between the beats of his heart, in order to keep his hands perfectly still.

The artist is so skilled he is able to put horseshoes on a flea, all of them held in place by three nails — and a saddle and stirrups as well.

The artist worked for six months to create this gold AK-47. It consists of 34 individual parts.

Broken Scooter

This morning I drove my little scooter to work with no problems, but at lunch time she decidedto start playing up and refused to start. By the time I finished work I had arranged for a towie to pick her up. After an ‘interesting’ trip home with the towie I got out my toolbox and tried to get her going. Turns out it was onlly a blown fuse.

Perth Street Art

August 15th, 2008 · No Comments

I have finally found some decent street art here in Perth. Not that I have been looking that hard, but I stumbled across this wall down a laneway next the Planet Books/Video/Music in Mt Lawley just covered with goodness.
