  • Loathsome bad cookies

    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 a nap this afternoon,…

  • 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…

  • Let's Not Watch it Again!

    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…

  • Let's Watch it Again!!!

    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”. A man decked out in full armor attempts to move as quickly as he can as long as he can. The…

  • Slinky in the Sky with Jittery Diamonds

    Lo and behold the clouds cleared up and after watching for a while from the window we stepped outside for around 20 minutes of eclipse viewing with the binoculars. “Wasn’t that exciting?” H.o.p. said. It was pretty. I tried taking pictures but not having brought along the tripod the moon came out looking like a…

  • The 60’s Loved Snow and Radcliffe?

    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…

  • Not Excited About the Lunar Eclipse…

    …because I checked the hour by hour weather forecast and it looks like we’re gonna be all clouds. Drat.

  • I buy for my IPOD

    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.
