No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to die.


I kind of think that Ezra here resembles an evil genius. The faintly cocked wrist, the look of utter disdain, the ever so slight upturned nose. Yes, this is a fellow poised to push a button that will open a trapdoor, dropping some poor bugger into a vat of acid.

Filled with crocodiles.

With sub-machine guns.

And poor dental hygiene.

"Off with his head"...that is what he is about to say! Definitely a royal personage! Has he been hanging out with Christian when he visits Tassie with his Mum???
Unknown said…
The expression on his face is fabulous! So very cute! And I like the fitting title too! :-)

Or a vat of "sharks with frickin' laser beams!" (Dr. Evil).
He's adorable! He looks more like the Cat in the Hat with that outfit!

Ahahaha, I think that never the title was so nicely matched with the photo!
Your Ezra is really amazing!!
Roddy said…
If I were this good looking, I too would be aloof. This child certainly has a bright future.
yamini said…
You may be right in the post but what about that cute red t-shirt!!!

An evil genius would not proclaim himself as cute now, would he? You will have to change his clothes now :-))
Roddy said…
He actually looks like M in any of the Bond films.
Or perhaps Hitchcock in all of his intros.

Those eyes...!

Movie Reviews, so you’re not a robot!
Kris McCracken said…
Health Alert, nor are you!
Kris McCracken said…
Mr. X – if that is your real name – in what way does he look “weird”?
Kris McCracken said…
Sue, by Christ he was annoying yesterday evening. Two hours straight of grizzling!
Kris McCracken said…
JM, he is a ripper.
Kris McCracken said…
Yoork, he hates Dr Suess. He wants to burn all those books. He’s very strong willed.
Kris McCracken said…
Lemon, he is that indeed.
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, King of the World and Emperor of all its Dominions... He also has his eye on Tsar, Czar, Agha, Apu Mallku, Caliph, Chancellor, Doge, Kaiser, Maharaja, Oba, Reichskommissar, Sultan and Taoiseach.
Kris McCracken said…
Yamani, that is all part of his masterplan...
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, he looks like Judi Dench?
Kris McCracken said…
Sarah, piercing eyes!

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...

There was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong.

Here is a self portrait. I’m calling it Portrait of a lady in a dirty window . Shocking, isn’t it? However, it is apt! Samhain , Nos Galan Gaeaf , Hop-tu-Naa , All Saints , All Hallows , Hallowmas , Hallowe'en or HALLOWEEN . It’s Theme Thursday and we’re talking about the festivals traditionally held at the end of the harvest season. Huh? No wonder Australians have trouble with the concept of HALLOWEEN. For the record, in my thirty-two L O N G years on the planet, I can’t say I’ve ever seen ghosts ‘n goblins, trick ‘n treaters or Michael Myers stalking Tasmania’s streets at the end of October. [That said, I did once see a woman as pale as a ghost turning tricks that looked like Michael Myers in late November one time.] Despite the best efforts of Hollywood, sitcoms, and innumerable companies; it seems Australians are impervious to the [ahem] charms of a corporatized variant of a celebration of the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darke...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...
