I just had this regular thing that comes around every few years, where I let slip my completely unshakeable conviction that Charles and Ray Eames were two intense, bespectacled brothers and then some arse jumps in to put me right, and then I say something like "Oh yes it's like with George and Ira Gershwin, because they're .. um .." And then I realise that I'm not quite positive that they really were two brothers, and maybe Ira was George's wife. Not that Ira is ever a female name, but maybe it is.

And now I have it all clear, but this will recur around 2012, and I will record it here if I still have a Livejournal. In fact it may be the next entry, at this rate.

that first pic rather brought back the marvelous Machine Gun Fellatio and their catchy little Mutha Fukka on a Motorcycle.

Well that is an extremely literal visual association. And you're talking about a married couple who designed some really comfortable furniture. Is it because she wears her hair in a bun?

You are pertinent as ever. I'm flattered that you've even noticed my absence.

I'm letting life get in the way, I'm afraid - but we can't have that, can we?
