So, I'm slowly getting back to posting on my blogs as I used to, which means I've also been surfing and reading more again. Not much has changed in the last five or so months but I've seen one or two things that cracked me up. The most hilarious to my sarcastic mind was the raving enthusiasm with which the artitsic elite in the UK greeted the recent performance of 17-year-old Daniel Radcliffe (he of Harry Potter fame) who demonstrated his acting prowess by playing a boy who develops a sexual relationship with several horses, and who during the play gets naked and 'has sex' with his co star (a female human being) leading to sold out performances as fans rush to see the spectacle (or lack there of). You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried. I don't know which is funnier. The rush to see Daniel Radcliffe simulating sex, or the fact that to be taken seriously by the art tossers needs only a few horses and a 17 year old boy...
Apart from that I've been watching various gems on You Tube. There's a lot of silver hidden in the dross over there so I've made an account there.

Hi moif, cheer up!
Nice movie clip (umm, the WotW one; I'm not really interested in Harry Potter and his Magical Unicorn).
I hadn't realized it before, but looking at the Tripod's "head" in profile reminds me quite a bit of the Alien Queen.

My God! It speaks!!

Hey Maximilian Von Stenk! Hope your doing well!
Sounds like you've had enough time to chill out and relax while mette and freja have been here :.)
Hola, moo moifus!
It is good to "see" you again. I'm doing fine, thank you. Not much has changed, still furiously belching and farting my way through life's travails :)
I've had your blog bookmarked and your RSS feed subscribed into my reader for a bit, but have not, 'til now, posted. I particularly liked your family posts, nice to see the moifling doing so well.
Oh, while I'm at it, since you like interesting photos, I've found a blog you might enjoy.

My dear friend, you ALWAYS have the best links! I don't know how you do it.

Shouldn't you be in bed this time of night????
That's because I'm a lonely geek who spends way too much time surfing when I should be doing more productive things like watching bad SF shows :)

Hey, I spend all day online as well, but I never come across some of the quality dren you do!
That blog is full of good stuff. I just followed a link to a site which analyses the original Star Wars in the light of the prequels. Hilarious.
I also note that though his blog is hosted on the same service as mine, he's figured out how to make secondary pages. Thats something I've been trying to do for ages now but failing. I made whole new blogs instead.
Have you seen my abstract rust images BTW? I posted them today, mostly for Cyan.
Yep that link is a great interesting time waster :)
I haven't seen your abstract images yet. I'll check 'em out. Though it's late for me and right now it's bedtime.

From the reviews I've read, once you get past Radcliffe going nude he actually makes a good job of the play. the reviews have been generous with praise for him and his ability (which is greater than the expectation apparently). The whole play is well done and well performed with Richard griffiths being excellent as the shrink.
yeah, but these days with the invasion (which has just ended!) I need to do school work at night... hence the nightly greeting, while I ought to have been working, hehe
Yay, they're coming home!

GM,
Oh I'm sure he gave a sterling performance, and I have n problem with the young fellow at all. I just find it funny that his performance generated so much adulation from the 'art crowd'. The fans I can forgive, after all, I'd not be disinterested in seeing Vibeke Hartkorn (Danish TV news reader) simulating sex, or even just talking dirty... but the art crowd's 'respect' seems to me some what selective with regards to such things.
My first thought was 'but of course', after all, would an equally stunning performance in a piece by Dickens have generated the same enthusiasm? I doubt it. Hardcliffe got his kit off. Thats what really counts.
And by Hardcliffe, I mean of course Radcliffe... associations are getting the better of me....
Hey moif! This is the Coconut Ent. I just discovered your blog.
Radcliffe's getting naked with horses... hmmm...
The kid playing Draco Malfoy is a fishing enthusiast, but is otherwise not doing anything scandalous.
Hi Coco!
Long time no see. I hope your doing well.
=)
