Brain Go Poop

Yep, can't think of anything to write.

All obsessed with getting my last bits and shits packed for Nepal.

Once I get back I'll do a couple of big posts about it and then I will probably be able to shut up about it.

To a certain extent...

This is going to be my theme song for the trek.

Just In Case You Haven't Seen It Yet

Public safety campaigns usually go the 'ominous music, harsh photographic filters' angle to scare you with the idea of what could happen if you are cavalier with your person or short of attention.
These tend to be shocking the first time and then either annoying or - for some people - traumatising after that.

Metro Trains in Melbourne decided to go in completely the other direction and I don't know about you but this message is sticking with me a lot more successfully than the 'OMG YOU'RE DOOMED!' style campaigns.

Plus the animation is adorable and I've had the song stuck in my head for days now :-P

The Vimeortex

Guys, I haven't written anything for this week.

I meant to.

But every time I got on the internet I ended up immersing myself rapturously in the 5 Second Films archive.

Sooo... instead of a real post here is a selection of my favourites.

That I culled down from 40 to six*.

There are over 600 videos so you know you should stop and do something else but... they're only five seconds long...

I regret nothing.

Planking from 5-Second Films on Vimeo.

Clark Kent's Close Call from 5-Second Films on Vimeo.

The Day Before Yesterday When Everything Was OK and There Weren't Any Zombies from 5-Second Films on Vimeo.

Brothers from 5-Second Films on Vimeo.

*OK, seven, I had to include this one for the badass moustache. It isn't on vimeo so I couldn't embed it.

Tais Toi Mon Coeur

Let's ignore the day - with the cynical commercial trappings that attend it - and just watch this lovely video by Dionysos shall we?

Good.

The Cat Piano

The Cat Piano from PRA on Vimeo.

Smoke, shadows, jazz and the sultry sounds of Nick Cave.

Sure this is a cheat post but it's a beautiful cheat post!
