Happy Birthday, Brian!

It’s Brian’s birthday this weekend. As he never reads my blog I can tell you what I got for his present. It’s really so very cool.

Buzz Aldrin has designed a lamp for Habitat’s VIP For Kids range. It’s seriously, seriously cool. It’s a big, fuck-off raised relief light-up globe of the Moon which hangs from your fricken ceiling! And Buzz Aldrin, THE Buzz Aldrin designed it. I mean… who wouldn’t want one of those??!!

Don’t go buying them all up, now. I need to get one for myself.

    That’s one small step for a man, one giant lamp for mankind?

    Damn it, Mr. John Dodds stole my “giant light for mankind” idea. It’s still a spectacular idea thought, I bet Brian will be delighted with this.

    Jas, I know, but I also saw your Zurich v California photos. :)

    Hey, did you know about this? I thought it was interesting, so I’m “spreading the word.”

  • Observer Article -

    Honestly, this isn't a blog just about Brian. That would be really weird... but... indulge me just a bit longer.

    Some of you may have seen the article about Brian in the Observer today. Now, you guys are intelligent and realise that not everything you read in a newspaper is accurate. This was made absolutely clear to me this morning as I was sitting in my bathrobe, hair all over the place, barefoot, all coffee breath, unshowered and read, "he married his American wife, glamorous TV presenter Gia Milinovich, in secret." :-/

    Ah well...
