Steel Wrapped in More Steel
As I creep further and further into the iniquitous den of middle-age, I have begun to realize that the only thing which can shelter me from this interminable, collagen-sapping horror, is an extreme makeover. After much consideration, I have chosen my new look:

Hello A,
Thanks for commenting :-)
The "I want to Believe" is from the TV show The X-Files (1993-2002). It's the poster FBI agent Mulder has in his (basement) office. The flying saucer is the kind you'd see in a 1950's Sci-Fi movie/graphic novel - so (I think) the poster is kind of a nod to the 'It Came From Outer Space' type of story - eg The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951, remade in 2008). It's also a bit kitsch, which is why I like it (and maybe why Mulder likes it).
Nice to hear the story of the poster. The 50's saucer, with or without wires showing, and other versions of outer space machinery from that era, are truly handsome.
