Operation AXIOM
One year has passed since the theatrical release of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World!



I know this isn't like the old days when we could celebrate the anniversaries of the Star Wars prequels, in rapturous anticipation of the next episode in the saga, but it's fun all the same.



"If your life had a face I would punch it."

Elsewhen…
Fifty years ago to the day, 13 August 1961, the Berlin Wall—in Marxist-Leninist doublespeak, the "Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart"—was erected to prevent the oppressed denizens of East Berlin & surrounding areas of the German Democratic Republic from escaping to West Berlin, to freedom, to Freiheit. 50. Jahrestag-link.

Happy (Belated) Birthday!
Speaking of 1961, a few days hence—4 August—I meant to wish a happy fiftieth birthday to Barack Hussein Obama II, the President of the United States. The big five-oh, quite a milestone. Happy birthday, sir! Here's hoping Mr. Obama enjoys a long & fruitful retirement… to begin at noon on 20 January 2013.
