bits of my weekend














four random things found while web surfing on a rainy morning

1. fun website - though you need a good connection & download speed to optimize the experience:
a unique calendar by fashion label Uniqlo

2. calling this "French line dancing":

(from "Band of Outsiders" by Jean-Luc Godard)

3. Kirsty MacColl

this was great club music back in the day
Kirsty MacColl died too young, in a tragic boating accident - love her music

4. human ingenuity is awesome - I want to ride on this:







"Lawrence is now one of only two cities in the country to operate pedal-powered rides like this. The idea originally came from Europe, where the vehicles are popular in places such as Amsterdam and in German cities."

Happy October!

it's YouTube Friday

Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies from Disney's Fantasia (1940)


Dance of the Mushrooms


Tchaikovsky's Walt of the Flowers

sundown, sundown, sundown


I was looking for this version of this song (it popped into my head after looking through my sunset photos) and came across this odd video - not sure why this music was put together with "Firefly" footage, but it kind of works for me - in a way it's a mish-mash of all kinds of memories from 2000 - the show "Firefly" was typical of what people were into at the start of the new millennium (and actually it's actors remind me of several people I worked with at the time) - and I played this album ("The Parlance of Our Time") a bazillion times that year... What ever happened to Elwood? Wow, was that already 10 years ago?
