The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was just thinking that I could probably say the same thing, ita, as long as it didn't matter how old I was at the time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, no one I've had sex with is 18 now. For sure.

Not yet.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The weather is beautiful, cool and crisp and my neighbors sounded like they were having a lot of fun with the start of Sukkot.

I'm drinking wine and eating chocolate.

ita, I wasn't easy before I was married, I was effortless. Back in the day, anyway...

I just started watching the most recent Supernatural.

Not sure I want to finish it, what with the scary scary clowns.

Ooof. The Gothy yard sale was a huge success. Okay, it was for me; I'm not sure about the other people selling stuff. But I made a good profit, so now I'm window shopping and watching a brainless & pretty movie.

Lee, it's a lovely ep. You should finish it.

I feel drawn, but I'm not in pain. Do I strap on the heels and go to the party that's only a few blocks away?

Or do I stay home and watch Mad Max Beyond The Thunderdome?

What movie, Jilli?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay for profit!

I can't speak to going out, ita, since I haven't really left the house since leaving work yesterday.

I'm afraid I'm never going to bed, because VH1 is doing Top One-Hit Wonders, and they're only half done, and I love so many of these songs!

ita, I think you should go to the party for half an hour, and then go back home to watch Mad Max.

I'm watching Phantom of the Opera. Complete and utter tripe, but so fun and pretty!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is the coolest animated short film ever. Ok, maybe not, but it's up there: [link]

FAST FILM (2003) by Virgil Widrich is one of those films that reminds me why I love animation in the first place: it's a medium in which you can literally do anything you want. This film blew me away when I saw it at Annecy in '04 so I was excited to find that my friends at the Animation Show have discovered it on YouTube. Usually the things that make an animated film great are the story, characters and animation, but FAST FILM is one of the rare instances where a film is great primarily because of its technique. The visuals were achieved by printing out thousands of film frames (over 65,000 to be exact) and folding them into three-dimensional shapes. The paper-objects were then photographed and composited in After Effects. I can't even imagine the effort it took to mash-up hundreds of live-action films, often times with three to four films in each scene, and make it all work in a narrative context. It's an incredible creative achievement.

Wow.

I don't even want to think of the amount of work that went into making this. It's amazing. And very clever.

Yay for profits Jilli!

I'm going to finish the ep, ita, but I'm ignoring the clowns.
