Little Britain is coming to HBO this fall. The series will consist of six episodes with rumored returning characters Daffyd Thomas, Sebastian, Marjorie Dawes, Lou and Andy, Vicky Pollard (my fave), Emily Howerd, Carol Beer, Bubbles De Vere, Harvey and Linda. New characters include Madonna’s PA, Ellie Grace and her pushy mom, American Jocks Tom and Mark, 8th man on the moon Bing Gordyn, southern teen Conor and his grandmother Mildred and more.
Little Britain USA has a nice rundown of the characters with descriptions. They also have a list of guest appearances by stars like David Schwimmer, Sting, Rosie O’Donnell and hottie Paul Rudd. This is going to be spectacular.
Little Britain USA. Check it out Sunday, September 28th at 10:30pm on HBO.

Season 4 of The Hills starts tonight. Sweet!

The Trump International Hotel and Tower here in Chicago is nearing completion with the last significant concrete pour planned for today. In late September Donald will attend a ceremony placing the building’s spire on top.
Standing at 1,362 feet the 92-story building will become the second tallest in the nation behind the Sears Tower. Both records will be broken in 2012 though when the Chicago Spire is finished.
Check out some construction photos of the building on Flickr. Also, here’s a neat photo-rendering of the new Chicago skyline once Trump Tower, the Chicago Spire and a handful of other highrises are completed.
My Muxtape updates every Tuesday with 12 songs I’m currently enjoying, here’s my set for August 12, 2008:
Just Dawson please. I'm a 29 year old designer living in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood. Outside of my day job I also freelance and help keep Hell's Fairies, an LGBT scooter group, scooting.
My mind tends to wander a bit, but for the most part I focus on the environment, design, architecture, photography and travel. Other things I enjoy in no particular order... sunshine, red wine, green space, scooters, tall buildings, urban living, Paris, lemonade, Terry Brooks, 70°+ days, burgers & fries, parks, pop music, archaeology, reading blogs, brownies, recycling, clean sheets, beaches, Apple, period films, ancient history, space, modernism, minimalism, Kiva, going through airport security, science, martini's, my cat Ruby and turtle Palla Palla.
