T-WORLD: THE JOURNAL OF T-SHIRT CULTURE
If you are a member of a G8 nation or maybe in a bigger worldly cosmopolitan, you might have access to some of the world’s best magazines. There are many imports from both Australia and England making the rounds in North America. One of the coolest offerings is for all those walking billboards there who have some sort of logo or identity on their t-shirts that signify the image of the said person who wears one. T-WORLD: THE JOURNAL OF T-SHIRT CULTURE from Australia is a cornucopia of richly illustrated pictures with people adorned in some of the wildest t-shirts. T-World will soon set up shop on the net. If you are lucky to pick up one, it will give you cool ideas for your own t-shirt.
DVD of the Week
Iron Man
The saving grace for Iron Man is the splendid cast of actors that brings
out Tony Start’s world of great imagination. The timing was just
right to bring out the character. With CGI and better stories, Marvel
can now tap into the movie industry with ease. I cannot see them making
these movies 5 years ago. Marvel heroes were always more outlandish and
darker. Iron Man is a hero for the times. Suspend your disbelief and
nuke the popcorn for a thrill of a ride. All the right elements come to
place in this movie.

Moomin: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip - Book Three
This third volume returns to Moominvalley, where its beloved inhabitants get tangled up in five new stories. Moomin falls in love with a damsel in distress, an unseasonably warm spell turns the valley into a tropical rain forest, and a flying saucer crashes into Moominmamma’s garden. Moominpappa decides to live out his dream of occupying a lighthouse and writing a great seaside novel, only to discover that he hates the sea so close up and has no interest in writing about it, and a variety of curious clubs spring up in the valley. Moomin and Moominmamma do their level best to avoid the whole mess but, of course, get drawn into the muddle.
