Hmm... Summer Has Been Summered...?

They do say that Spring Has Sprung - when it officially does, even though it's still cold as hell out there...!  Why not use the bogus verb of ''summering'' as it should be used, too, then, when the favored season has FINALLY arrived - HUH?

All right, all right - we won't do it because to do so might doom us all and jinx the aborning summer to be the shortest one ever in human recorded history! For the only accepted use of the verb ''summering'' implies to pass the summer and so it implies it has already left us... *cry*
:-(

But this post is just about 'nother of them blasted Google Doodles, is all...!
Hence, there is nothing to fear or dread of the kind - OKAY?

Hmm...  And this blog is rapidly becoming a succession of reviews of doodles, ranging joyously and copiously from Google's oodles of poodles to all other manners of noodles that regularly provide themor the source material for them on the puddle that is the world wide web...!

Let this saddening fact not stop us, though!

For the latest Google Doodle that jumped to our attention is fun and imaginative - and considerably enhanced by the animation it benefits from, as the artwork by Christoph Niemann would have been a simple round-up of the usual generic types and tykes otherwise...

It is about summer - the summer solstice, to be most precise.

And, verily, we need to believe that summer is here - and is here to stay - for a while, at least! For as long as it is meant to last, dammit!

It is so very interesting, however, to notice that this doodle has only connected with the denizens of Brasil,  Peru and Argentina. They who always have great weather, basically! Oh well: it must have been a local doodle, that's all...!

But solstices are global.

Solstices didn't lie, in the past.
Alas, of course, in these days of climactic changes and all, well - one never knows anymore!
:-!

Hmm... Is Justice really improving in this world after all...?!?

On the date that, waaaaay back in 1431, the trial of one JOAN OF ARK began, we learn that a 9/11 plotter has his prison term increased! It was doubled in fact, in a German court of all places, in Hamburg to be more specific... Justice is improving, being meted out in a harsher way to those who deserve it too, in the country where, a relatively short time ago (what's 60-65 years in human history? Peanuts...) dementia and lunacy overtook an entire nation (or a good portion of it) and possessed the collective psyche enough to have them commit such atrocities... All in the name of the imaginary "master race"...! I should apologize for the very condensed -very spontaneous too- luminous history lesson... But I will not! ;) Suffice it to say - if Joan of Ark got the stake, 576 years ago today... Surely Mounir el Motassadeq deserves to get 15 years in prison... And to be decked all along the way... I know - easy one to say... Or type, really... Sue me, willya? ;)

Hmm... Energy, Eh?

really... VERNAL EQUINOX  yielding a  ''WORM FULL MOON''  and a  VORTEX  that unleashes  copious amounts of  ''unprecedented magical energy''  onto the Earth --- I presume?  Really?    Not a worm like this worm here,  one hopes... a so-so classic of the genre...  All I know... is that I took three fine pictures  on this night:  this last picture truly shows something akin to a ''vortex'' there  -  to tell the truth...! Or a rift in the fabric of space, tearing up   to further facilitate that generous dispensing of  ''magical energies'' promised there...  To the neo-pagans it was, anyway!  Well, all that is uncanny, really:  just yesterday I was thinking of  that old book project of mine  that I have shelved indefinitely...  And it was ten...

Hmm... Star Wars is real?

This museum exhibit in Boston seems to be trying to make the case that Star Wars "science" and real science are getting closer and closer with each passing day... Yes, folks, we may very well be driving around in our own private little Land Speeder one day, soon... hmm... well, maybe... However, until they make them nifty light-sabers, I will not be convinced - nor satisfied! But of course, light-sabers are to be handled only by enlightened ones, as on the big screen now! For reality sure needs to imitate art if they ever do make them light-sabers - like, commercially!? Imagine them becoming available in an all-American Wal-Mart near you: any nitwit could pick one up, just like, I dunno, just like they buy a gun, for crying out loud! It should be restricted to an elite customer-base, really, for we do NOT want fanatics, lunatics or other "ics" strutting around brandishing weapons like that, now do we? They better ponder the question carefully before making any more...
