I’m feeling out of sorts. I think I’ve a touch of the flu that’s been going around. Ended up sleeping most of the day, thus H.o.p. had a day off. I took a nap this morning and was surprised to wake up and found how long I napped. Then I took [...]

Wildly imaginative worlds of Yannick Puig

A couple of wonderful whimsical offerings. H.o.p. loves the animations of Yannick Puig, such as the below “I Lived on the Moon”.
Another is the delightful “Krapooyo”.
I like Puig’s animations as well.
P.S. “I Lived on the Moon” was replayed over and over here today and probably will be for a while. I showed [...]
Netflix has some Sundance Film Festival animated shorts from 2007.
H.o.p. and I watched “Ask the Insects”, “Der Ostwind”, “In Passing” and “One Rat Short”.
“Ask the Insects” was the only one he asked to see again, the effects having sparked his interest, and then before I even began to replay it he had changed his mind [...]
If you happen to have one of those children who’s fascinated with knights in shining armor (as have I), and also subscribe to Netflix, may I suggest the Sundance Short Comedy, “Motion Studies: Inertia”.

It was pretty. I tried taking pictures but not having brought along the tripod the moon came out looking like a [...]
Google will never spit me up in the first 500,000 pages of search results for “Valley of the Dolls” so there’s really no reason for me to write on it and if I do I can write whatever I want and not worry about coherency or having any point to make, though it’s not like [...]

I started to write a post and was several paragraphs in when Wordpress suddenly freaked out and ate it, which I take as meaning that I’m not to post tonight.
P.S. Which is all right. Really. The world can live without knowing how I feel about being in 4th grade again.
I love Pistolera’s “Cazador”.
I got IPOD! I can buy the song and port it around now.
Will probably end up getting the album later.
Hungry IPOD says, “Feed me!”
This is good for it. Lots of protein, vitamins, minerals, what have you.
