The moon was so full last night around here, the sky was almost blue.

I had some wild moodswings, as I usually do when luna looms like so. From grouchy to spooked (I finally watched Antichrist), to a chatty-cathy-that-needs-to-some-nap-time.

Night night.

William Blake. 1757–1827

489. The Tiger

TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies 5
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart? 10
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp 15
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee? 20

Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

This ain't Sea World. It's as real as it gets. I'm on a boat, motherfucker.

Don't you ever forget.

Germans Stink in Bed, Literally



Well, apparently there's a reason it's "Under the Tuscan Sun," and not "Beneath a Bavarian Moon." According to an international poll, German men are the worst in bed in the world.

The worst part is why -- they're too smelly. Although it wasn't made entirely clear if it was a specific part of them that was too smelly (please be the armpits and not the trouser zone), it's apparently foul enough to have them ranked the worst lovers in the world, closely followed by Englishmen, who are too lazy.

American men were ranked fifth for being "too rough." The best in the world (buy your plane tickets now) are Spain, Brazil, Italy and France. (Not to mention they all have free health care.) Sign us up, please.

The survey was carried out by OnePoll.com and took answers from 15,000 "well-traveled" women. It certainly sounds like they've been traveling well, unless they went to Greece, Holland, Sweden, Turkey, Russia, the entirety of the United Kingdom, America or Germany, that is.

The Worst Lovers, By Nationality:

10 .Russia
9. Turkey
8. Scotland
7. Wales
6. Greece
5. The United States
4. Holland
3. Sweden
2. England
1. Germany

The Swiss should be on that list.

But Russians? I will beg to differ.
